I would say, Sit Back and Relax :D

I am Oct 4, nothing yet. Even folks from Feb-September 2021 are still waiting. So I guess it’s normal. If you want to call IRCC, best of luck! They always say « High volume of calls » even if you try 100 times lol

However, you could consider applying GCMS notes to get a in-depth view of your file.

Anyways, Who knows, IRCC works in mysterious ways, you may probably be lucky one like most in the end of year to receive a decision on time :)

GoodLuck!

Oh ok :) I heard that CEC inland applications (including all dependents) are progressing fast. I know three of my colleagues submitted their CEC application during Jan 2021 , June 2021 and July 2021 got their eCOPR in 4-5 months. Also an IRCC memo published in cicnews.com ( https://www.cicnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cicnews.com-IRCC-Express-Entry-Memo-March-17-2022.pdf ) says for inland CEC applications, it usually takes 7.5 months. So I was just curious to know the experience of others.

Those were the lucky ones. All who are left have mostly crossed their normal processing time (i.e. 6 months). However, IRCC has recently updated processing time for CEC and now it’s 7 months as per their Processing Times page also. Which begs the questions, whether this is from AOR or R10. According to some information sources, the 7 month clock starts the day you pass your R10.

Either way, this time never matters actually. If it did, none of the folks would have crossed their 6 month mark. Some are even 1 year plus now (Feb-Mar AORs).

I also invite you to visit other threads from other AORs. You might find some information or maybe a little motivation to help in waiting, just like me :D

OMG :oops: my work visa has expired on 26th Feb 2022 so I have applied for Bridge Open Work Permit on 1st Dec 2021 which is also not processed yet so I was expecting at least they will process my BOWP if the PR is getting delayed ...

That’s something you can try to call IRCC for. But as I said before, it’s really hard to get through and talk to an agent these days. I haven’t applied BOWP personally so I can’t tell much about it, but by crawling through other threads I learnt that BOWPs are also getting late responses (in some cases, 4-5 months). However, again, it all depends on the case officer that your get.

Apparently the "High volume of calls" message was not enough for them, so they just decided to shut the damn Call Centre LOL
