Mine has been like that since March 6, even though my status reads "Decision made." My application was received on October 14, 2020, a bit more than a month ahead of yours. There have been others, though, whose applications were submitted during that same time period and who have already received their certificates.

Nothing at all. Have sent in webform inquiries, no response. Have tried calling, so far haven't been able to get through, but will keep trying.
Have also considered getting legal representation, but the firm that hosts this bulletin board says they don't take this kind of case, and another firm I inquired with wants a lot of money with no promise that they'll be able to speed things up.
Mine says Started Processing April 27th. It's ridiculous how much time they spend on something that shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks.
I guess all my complaining and griping was for nothing, and I just needed to be patient!

Of course I haven't actually RECEIVED the certificate yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic that it won't be long now.
