I asked the MP to follow up on my case. After waiting for a week, I was informed that my document is the Montreal office. I was asked to be patient and once they come to conclusion they will let me know (a generic response!!!)

Hang on mate. I'm FSW-Inland with a similar AOR (more than 6 months for me). In 2019 FSW approved apps took 9 months processing on average... the wait is frustrating, but at least we are here in Canada. I am hopeful that our applications will start to be approved this fall, as borders will very likely start to open around September (give or a take a month). I feel bad for the fall 2019 AORs who will end up waiting 2 years for processing... we will likely end up being much faster than them.
Any applications getting processed in 3 months are outliers, and have NOCs in essential services, earmarked for priority processing. This is not the norm, and definitely not so for CEC. The average has been at least 8 months. I get the frustration, but misinformation doesn't help anyone.
That's good information so does the priority NOCs in essential services are being considered for FSW - Inland applicants. Reason I am asking because my NOC falls under this category of essential services.
I am 10 months in....I think they parked all fsw and prioritize all the CECs and all the new applicants from the 90,000. I guess it will be likely over a year. Make plans on your working permit or trv...be prepared to renew those.
WOW , seriously !!!! Are you FSW Inland - waiting from 18 months ??Already losing your nerves?
18 months here, security not even started

IRCC literally says on their page that they are only processing CEC apps normally?? Also, 2/3 months is very unusual even for CEC these days, it's not fair to pick an extreme outlier for comparison...
Sorry it may seem like a dumb question, but did you apply online or on paper? Did you IRCC what's taking so long?Already losing your nerves?

I applied online, FSW-inland.
There is nothing wrong with my application, my eligibility is "MET" since the first month. They just stopped working on my application after 2 months and never re-opened it as per GCMS notes.
I had to extend my current work permit (BOWP) which was processed in roughly 2 weeks instead of 77 days as per IRCC website. I pay my taxes in Canada since the beginning but it looks like they don't care. They just "forgot" my application.

Hi all,
FSW-Inland applicant AOR Nov 26, 2020 - on the portal there's only medicals and biometrics info as passed.
Just talked to an IRCC agent on the phone about my application:
They said my application is currently open (I guess it means someone is working on it?). My eligibility is passed. Security background is being processed. I didn't ask for my VO info.
I also asked if I needed to update my application because I have recently extended my PGWP and they said it is not necessary, just in case anyone else is wondering that.
I know it might take a while to get my COPR, but at least now I know they have worked on my application.
