Hello everyone,

While the IRCC tracker was down, I relied on the IVR system to check updates on my application, since I applied through a representative. Initially, the IVR message stated: “Your application was received on [date]. We will contact you if we need more information or once a final decision is made.” However, almost 10 days ago, the message changed to: “Your application was received on [date]. To serve you better, we will now transfer you to an agent.”

I spoke with an agent, who confirmed that no final decision had been made yet. I then requested a screenshot of my application status from my representative. In the “Latest Update” section, it shows: “Final Decision – [same date the IVR message changed]: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once a final decision has been made.”

From what I have read online, this change can indicate that a final decision may be issued within a few days. However, in my case, it has been almost 10 days with no further updates. My CEC application has been in progress for nearly 8 months now. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows how long this stage typically lasts?

There is no exact amount of time but very common for it to be over 10 days. All you can do is wait. The final decision in the tracker is really meant for IRCC staff purposes.
