Hi all, here's my timeline (FSW-Outland):

2 March 2020: AOR
9 March 2020: IP1/Original MEP for me & spouse
16 March 2020: Profile shows “Biometrics completed”
4 September 2020: I notify IRCC of the intent to add our newborn child to the application
9 September 2020: Re-medical request received for me & spouse (Original medicals expired in June 2020) & ADR #1 for child
15 September 2020: ADR #2 for child
13 October 2020: Revised MEP for me & spouse
15 October 2020: Medical request for child received & profile shows “We are reviewing your additional documents”
29 October 2020: MEP for child

I’m not sure when exactly my application entered IP2, but it’s been stuck at that for several months. However, I received a ghost update last week and the “Review of additional documents” section changed from “We are reviewing your additional documents” to “Not applicable”.

Could this be an indication of good news coming soon?

We should wait for a week or two and if he does not respond then we can send our queries to the PM as well through a webform on the official PMO website. They have to tell us why our files our staled and give us a yes or a no. This just cant go on...enough of playing with our lives.

@legalfalcon any idea why cic is not processing jan-march applications and doing even august. It is getting very emotionally upsetting for us who applied in these months
It happened all the time. Not all applications will be processed within the same time frame. In any given month, 60-70% applications were processed within the average time, and the remaining 20-30% keep lingering. Mostly due to time it takes to process them for security, eligibility.

Do not be concerned about it, instead see what stage your are at.

Also, your AoR is Match 2020, the average processing time frame for FSW and PNP, pre-COVID was 8-9 months.

As per IRCC's annual 2019 annual report it takes 8-9 months for an application to process.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/annual-report-parliament-immigration-2019.html

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?
Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Data is operational and as such should be considered preliminary and subject to change.

  • Processing times refer to the time in which 80% of applications were finalized by IRCC. The processing time is measured from the day a complete application is received until the time a final decision is made by an immigration officer.

@legalfalcon thanks, that makes sense! If 9 months is expected, what would you say is the time period when March AOR applicants have to really worry about their applications? My application is exactly at 10 months and 6 days today and I haven’t seen any progress since October.

Don't forget your application was not moving until your bio were marked as exempt.

Hi @legalfalcon

The Speed at which IRCC is working, Seems getting the PPR request will take months now and I can't hold on my travel plan further.

I need to travel to Australia for some work( Temporarily), but my country of Residence will remain Singapore.

By any luck while I am in Australia, I get a PPR request, can I request IRCC to submit my passport at Australia?

Thanks

Well, that would mean the PPR date would be August 2021. Haha, that’s absurd. Hopefully my green card works out this summer. Good luck fellas.
