Myself too sailing on the same boat. My team member had also got approved last week, who applied somewhere last week of Jan 2020. I am waiting clueless since I applied from Dec 2019. Mine too is surely stuck somewhere. Nothing that we can do except for hoping the best sooner....
How many people from your office are applying for ICT? This can definitely be a red flag.

I know only of one, and sorry if that lead to confusion, he is not exactly my team member.

Far more correct would be I called as "my neighbor + company pal", because we know each other better as neighbors rather as "Fellow company pal" I hope NOC for which he applied will also be different.

I don't see this as concern (but never know). What concerning me is more of delay in the process, rather than the actual result...keeping lot of personal commitments in jeopardy....

Is there any significant impact of covid19 on visa processing? Has anybody experienced the same? My ICT wp application has no updates from march 3 after biometrics submission. It's still in BG CHECK stage, any idea how much time does it take? Also, how can I know which visa office has my application? Bio submitted at Hyd VFS, application submitted online. TIA.

We are all expecting a slow down in processing given COVID-19. Also, Canada is closing borders effective today. So even with an approval, it may be a while before you can enter Canada.
