Greetings!
By chance, would anyone be able to advise processing time for Winnipeg IRCC?
I read past thread saying Winnipeg field office is very slow...
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Looks like only one application this year reached DM state. Looks like they have different timelines for processing.

It’s moving along! You can find the office in the email. It’s a 3- or 4- letter code in the email address. Hopefully ours will move soon as well! Winnipeg office is slow, really slow! We have many friends who applied from here as well. One had his application « forgotten » (2019 applicants). 2 others found out that their agent doesn’t understand French so that agent has to send everything out somewhere else to get translated!

Yes, I hope so. I still haven't received test invite email, which will be sent to me one day before my actual test date; instead, I can only see my status in my tracker.

Did your friend contact IRCC? What did they say?

The ones from 2019 contacted IRCC and that’s how they found out their file was forgotten!
the other ones called as well and that’s how they found out about the non-bilingual agent!
