I applied on March 11th too, I called IRCC today morning and got same response like yours. That they are working on applications from February 3rdApplied online on March 11, 2026. No correspondence yet, not able to link to gckey.
Called this morning and they said they were still doing completeness checks, then they put the application in the main system, after which you can link which generates an application number.
They said they were working on applications from February 3rd. What? How is the processing time 27 days, if they're over a month behind?
There are other posts where people have got their cards who have applied in March.
looks like IRCC just gives a stale response
