Any idea how long it takes IRCC to respond to webforms?
My FP were received on Nov 7th (seen on tracker) however there is another update on Nov 8th (seen on tracker) that says:
"Fingerprints required: final notice
Background verification
We sent you a final notice to submit your fingerprints"

Thanks for your help in advance.
Did you also attach all the details of your submission to the RCMP? If not, I suggest you do that.

I am sure that We January 2022 online applicants won’t hear anything after the test from IRCC this year. They are very bad.
I agree with you. Maybe they will make us wait until March as the average processing time for online applicants are anyway 12 months from AOR.

Though majority of the paper applications are complete by now, few such as us are still stuck since June after the tests were successfully completed. No updates afterwards.

Hi all,

Test was marked completed in my tracker on Sep 28, 2022. There has been no progress in tracker post test completion. I received the test invitation from Scarborough and waiting for Language, Prohibition and Physical to turn green.

I ordered GCMS notes on Oct 17 but haven't received them yet. Anyone else with similar timeline from Scarborough office?
I ordered atip in august. Came exactly 60 days after

Many questions about processing times.

To better manage expectations about the processing time, please refer to the following official sources:

1- “Our service standard: process applications within 12 months
Our target: meet the standard for at least 80% of applications submitted”

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/service-declaration/service-standards.html

2.- As of oct 2022: 70% of the total applications are processed within a year. A good progress has been made over the current year. The situation is projected to improve by the beginning of 2023 when IRCC is expecting to archive the service standard ( 12 months for 80% of the applications )

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/stronger-immigration-system/citizenship.html

In conclusion the IRCC goal in terms of the processing time is in average 12 months.
Assuming 20% of the cases are more complex, and it will require additional time.

The plan is to achieve 80% of the cases process within a year by the beginning of 2023.

I got request to submit scanned copy of all passport pages along with provincial photo ID on Nov 17, 2022, they also asked me about my return date to Canada because i took the test from outside Canada. I am all set to be back in Canada by Dec 16, 2022. Responded to their request on Nov 23, 2022 along with a copy of my return ticket.

You are March applicant, given the current processing time, I guess you won’t receive any update until Feb 2023 at the earliest.

IRCC saying 70% of the applications were processed within the service standard time, leaving 100k applications in the backlog. I don’t trust this.
