Did ircc asked for additional document from you?
Nope, they didn't ask for additional documents. I did submit new admission letters since I had to defer twice so far.
Also I just remembered that I contacted an MP back in November 2023 and he said my eligibility had been completed back then and I was only waiting on the background check. So it is completed since November at least.

Do you know if your background has started? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do honestly... This is my friend's application and I'm a Canadian citizen myself. But I have no idea how to help him. MP's are useless basically, and I've got nothing else!
I think the only thing you can do is to request GCMS notes from IRCC / CBSA.
I requested mine but it has been 2+ months without a reply on that either lol.

Our case took over 251 days and I found webforms didn't do anything and it was just a waiting game until they got to it... But some VO's are better than others, but more because some VO's have way more applicants than others I would assume so case loads vary...
