This message helps so much, thanks for posting it here. Would it be possible to let us know the email id you wrote to? I'm in the same boat and online status still shows as submitted and no file number yet so can't raise a webform. TIA.

hi folks, I read somewhere that there are currently around 4000 persons await for processing under SE2, which was 4500 persons in July. This means there are roughly less than 2000 applications inventory in IRCC database.

according to IRCC website, there are approximately 810 application received in 2020 and 8 applications filed in 2021. 2022 applications number is unclear, but should be included in the 2000 inventory.

IRCC is transitioning to 100% online application on 21 October. does that mean they are now focusing on two things: the system and scanning remaining paper applications.

if everything goes well, we should expect them to issue AOR from December this year for application submitted in march 2020. considering the currently inventory, everyone should be able to get AOR by June 2023? and the processing time should return back to 2019 speed in the second half in 2013?

Just my thoughts based on some research. Please share what you guys think about this.

and one more thing: on IRCC website, it says language test result is a must for the application to be considered complete, otherwise it will be returned back to the applicant as incomplete. I don't think this is the case before the page was updated on 12 September. anyone has any idea when they made this change or when did this requirement take effect?

Meaning those who applied b4 12 September won't be mandated to get language test..

while going through previous posts here, I noticed people mentioned about this requirement back in 2019. however, lots of applicants have got their visa since then without submitting ielts. So this is quite confusing.

I decided to do this in May, 2022 during the Shanghai Covid-19 quarantine. I was desperate during that time ( and still feel the same way now). I can not imagine my baby will suffer this again and again in future. So I try my best to do it. God bless my family.

Same here, I am also from ShangHai and applied in late July. Let the wait start! Good luck and fingers crossed to all fellow applicants.
