Does it mean they only stop accepting new applications but did not stop processing of the applications they already have in scope?

Hello guys,
Just to update that I had asked my brother in law who is in UK to call IRCC office and get some info. Unfortunately, IRCC rep excused themselves from giving any info on immigration purpose and said that "they are not answering any queries about immigration"!!.

Amazing service!!

Hi Everyone,

Received my GCMS notes on 17th Feb
Ordered on 16th Jan.

Eligibility - Passed
Security- Not Started
Criminality- Not Started (Recommended Passed in Noted)
Medicals- Passed
Info Sharing- Complete
Biometrics - Passed (Security 2)

Primary Office: London Visa Office
AOR: 20th Oct 2020
Spouse is already a PR holder. I got married on 30th Oct and updated IRCC about my status. After 15 days got notified that my visa office has been intimated about the change in my marital status - ADR requested along with PRPF on 4th Jan and submitted all on the same day. It was all reflected in my GCMs notes.

What should I consider now? And expected PPR? London has been pretty quiet so far in terms of giving out PPRs.

Hi. Does anyone know if there has been many updates from the London office so far in 2021? Thanks.
I suppose the London VO is in lockdown now, so there might be no updates at all in 2021(

Well that can’t be the case with the UK coming fully out of lockdown in July!
I think considering the Step by Step opening of London, LVO might start working even before July.
