@caipsnotes thank you for responding. The agent yesterday told that the application is in progress. I am not sure what that means when all the parts of PR application are status quo since Sep 2020 like eligibility is still showing Recommend Pass not in progress, Security is Not started. I am not understanding what should I interpret with application is in progress when actually there is no progress.

Do you know how long does visa officer takes to conclusively pass the eligibility?
Hi. Each application is different and it's hard to say how long, particularly these days with COVID delays

meaning wait patiently.....some say 7-20 days, but some all passed since October with no approval. Such a sick game. If the final review takes so much time, what's the meaning of the 2 rounds of Recommended pass and pass for eligibility?

6 in total, last two were on 28 Feb and 1 Mar (assumed it was when all stages passed), found out by calling on 11 March, AOR July 25, more than 8 months and counting and they have the nerve to ask us for more patience by sending out that STUPID email.

When we first applied, yes. PA inland and 1 dependent Outland. Dependent entered CA in October and raised 4 webforms (not a single response from IRCC) and gave 1 call to specifically tell me that now everyone is inland. So not sure why they are holding the application.

VO office is in Ottawa. They called on saturday 1:30 pm from no caller ID and they asked me and my husband’s first arrival in Canada. He told me on the call about the approval of application and immediately I got copr
