They received my application October 17, 2019. It took till March 3, 2020 (138 days) for me to receive Decision Made. I still have not received CoPR. Keep in mind that everything has slowed down the last few months because of offices closing for quarantine. It may take longer for you to get a final decision than what used to be the normal wait time because of this. Hope this helps!

Hi Everyone,
I got a letter from IRCC on January 31 2020 that my application has been forwarded to the London Visa Office. Since then I have heard nothing.
I raised a web form to the LVO and this is what I received:
" Your application is currently in transit and given the above restrictions, we are unable to confirm receipt of your application in London at the present time."

Is there a chance my file has been lost? What can I do? Has anyone has a similar case? Appreciate anyones help please

Timeline: Husband in Quebec, Im in Dubai
App Received: Oct 31
Biometrics Request and Done: Dec 5
Forwarded to LVO: January 31, 2020
Applied for CSQ since Quebec: Feb 8 and in process

Your husband should call Ircc and ask them.

Hope it's not lost. I'm sure it's just this whole COVID thing making it difficult to communicate with other agents. Hopefully London will start having more capacity and finish our apps.

We called last week twice and it wouldnt get through to an agent. We sent a Web Form yesterday, waiting for their reply.
Any idea how long it usually takes them to answer?

My husband said the same thing
Have you heard of a case that the file is lost in transit?

Of course anything is possible, but FAR more likely is that it's sitting in a pile or a mail room waiting for somebody to get to it - at a time when the immigration offices are mostly closed or working only on urgent matters - AND the person responding either did not have access or did not see or know the code saying it was received.

You can order GCMS notes. There will be multiple entries (that are hard to understand) about the file's movements and registration in various locations, 'inventory', etc.

Also almost everything is scanned and filed digitally (in parallel with the physical copies). So if you received the AOR (the first one) and notice it was being transferred, your application has not just 'disappeared.'

In short, relax. It's most likely covid related delays.
