All the 2019 Applicants (in general) are waiting for Medicals and based on the discussion here some of 2018 applicants are also waiting(Medical/DM/COPR).

So only waiting can be done in this situation for 2019 Applicants.

I am in the same boat, completed 23-Months and no news so far except pre-arrival in mar-2020.

Let`s hope for the best ……
Exact same situation

Just today, I completed my 21th month and they extended average processing time 3 more months.
When I first applied it was 17 months.
That’s a shame.

I think we are getting closer to a reform, the system can't continue like this. Soon the processing time will be 3 years. They are issuing CSQ in less than year now. So imagine how big is going to be the backlog. Now the biggest question is how we are going to be affected. I don't trust them...

Yes, he is inland.
I am not sure - if he is inland, he would not have needed to submit biometrics last year. I applied around the same time (June 2019) and received AOR in August 2019. I paid the biometrics fee upfront but that portion got refunded to me in a cheque from the government, because back then (last year), inland applicants can be exempted from giving biometrics. Maybe he is in Canada now but when he applied he was outside of the country.

Hello guys,
My lawyer told me not to upload my address since mailing address is under my lawyer’s address( lawyer told me that changing address might delay my case) (there r two addresses on ECAS if u know what i mean). But i heard it is good to update my address to make it popped up for immigration officers and heard some ppl got medical after updating the address not mailing address.

Why would this person lie about where they are applying from? Each case is different. I have been living in Canada for almost 4 years and when I applied for my study permit, my wife's work permit and my children's permits, they did not ask us to do medical exams. Everyone I met who was in the same process was required. The same happened with biometrics, this year we did them for the first time, they had never required it.

I didn't say they lied but just said there might be some miscommunication. I am not sure about your case regarding the medical exam 4 years ago, but as you said, they started implementing biometrics to inland applicants this year (or from end of last year) only. Me and another 4 friends I know, who applied in early-mid 2019 were not required to give biometrics.

I of course believe his case is true and he has my congrats.
