Same. I got an eligibility pass recommendation in August, and no update since then. My guess is that someone quit their job and they didn't re-assign the files and just waited until a replacement was hired to take over those files months later lol

Same here. AOR may 6 recommended pass from last four months and no update since then. Is there anything we can do so the officer knows that he has people waiting from more than 8 months without updates.

Good to know it’s not just me!! But not good that there’s multiple people in our situation. I really hope they get back to our files soon. I don’t know if there’s anything we can do other than wait. The agent on the phone told me to raise a webform if I urgently need my PR to be processed, but for me it’s not really urgent as I’m already in Canada with an active work permit.

AOR May 25th, CEC inland - I just spoke with IRCC for an update and the agent said that nobody has touched my application since my eligibility was recommended pass in August. 5 months of it just sitting there! I think it’s going to be an extremely long wait for me

Same here may25. Execpt elegibity passed on September 8. No one touched the file after that. Criminality, info sharing in progress since then. Security not even started!!

I am in the same boat, after eligibility recommended pass my file is untouched from more than 4 months. This is strange that we can request IRCC to process our file Urgently, because when I asked IRCC agent that if I can do something so that officer pick my file he simply said, no just wait. So I have a question if we raise a webform and ask them to process our file urgently, could this have a negative impact on our file, any idea

I don’t think raising webform would bring any negative impact as long as all our application documents meet the EE requirements. Same situation for me, no one touched my profile since last September, I have submitted a webform this Wednesday. Would rather do something than just wait. Good luck to all May AORs.

I have raised a web form on the 27th of December, so far got no reply. Eligibility passed in August 2020. AOR May 30th.

The status bar only represents the time elapsed and not the actual processing of your application.
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.

Table 35: Processing Times for Express Entry applications finalized by year and immigration category, in months

Program	2017	2018	2019
Canadian Experience Class	4	5	7
Federal Skilled Worker	4	6	9
Provincial/Territorial Nominee	6	6	9
Federal Skilled Trades	6	7	12
All Programs	5	5	8

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.

As per the 2019 data, you are well within the average processing time. You can send a webform to enquire about the status of your application and at what stage your application is at.

Given that you were sent the RPRF your eligibility should have been passed or about to be passed. To read on eligibility see #2,520

Hi everyone. Just curious to know how the work experience is verified, given my situation as follows:
My hospital (workplace) was part of an international group of hospitals, on the letterhead of which I submitted the documented detailing my work experience. But recently, my hospital was renamed, merged with another group (but with same corporate staff) and most of the administrative personnel at my hospital replaced including the HR director who had signed off my documents.
So do I need to obtain a new experience letter proactively? Would really appreciate some advice, particularly from the experts on this forum (@legalfalcon @caipsnotes ).
TIA
