Probably because, like another person who posted here suggested, my application is being slow walked. I've not only received no notice of decision from IRCC, I've also received no notice of decision from the court. And to make sure it's not a me issue, I've double checked with the court and CanLII. So far, the last bit of activity on the court's docket is the hearing back in July and CanLII doesn't have my decision yet.
But yes, I applied back in 2022 and IRCC's own portal acknowledges receipt of the application on the 14th of November 2022. So does Canada Post tracking.
