Hello. This post is a reply to everyone who submitted H&C in late 2021 or 2022.
First of all, the H&C average processing time is now 27 months for all applications, excluding the applicants from Ukraine or Afghanistan which are prioritized and/or its your second or third etc application or a reconsideration case, which to my experience by reading the comments here and knowing some of the members turns out be the case. Not saying that certain applications can't be processed faster or earlier than the average processing time if you're lucky or an exceptional case. This info is available to everyone through IRCC links and resources.
The point being, there are applicants who applied in as early as 2020 and are still waiting for their decisions. Expecting a decision within 6 months of your first application is unrealistic, at least to me, but I understand the stress and impatience and we're all here to help and ease the stress while waiting, but it's something to be dealt with while waiting for the decision when the timelines are clearly given.
I'd also like to know from OP about the medical? Were you asked for a medical upon AOR or did you have a medical done recently that was accepted? Asking for fingerprints is a standard procedure by IRCC anyways before even going into process in most cases, unless you had done fingerprints in the last 10 years, which was in my case.
My timeline for reference:
AOR - MAY 2022.
IN PROCESS - SEPT 2022.
Nothing after that and I'm patiently waiting for the next stage or decision.
Applied for GCMS notes last month and still waiting for the results.
I hope and pray that everyone here gets a positive decision while waiting, including me, but patience and keeping yourself in line with the current processing times would be the only realistic and optimistic way going forward. Stress and impatience will only add to your problems and well being. Just stay positive

With all being said, it’s too early for you to apply for GCMS though. Your application in process for just 3 months.Hello. This post is a reply to everyone who submitted H&C in late 2021 or 2022.

By doing so, you are increasing the backlog.
To be honest I have never seen in my experience in this forum and with all the lawyers I have spoken with and the immigrant community centers I have visited, h&c applications sent in 2020 or 2021 with a delay longer than 16 or 17 months (for stage 1) except in the case of @MuhammadtigerbHello.

I strongly believe that the processing times displayed by IRCC are false and shouldn't be taken into account, (at least for certain types of applications like h&c ) they try to increase the number of months to be able to hide their incompetence and lack of professionalism.
And with that being said, I rely on options and resources provided and I use them to my advantage. And I'm aware of my 3 months into process and applying for GCMS notes because the backlog of GCMS itself is around 2-3 months, by the time my GCMS are processed, I could be getting the most up to date notes, or no notes at all, but it's a me problem and I can live with that.
However as to your concern regarding backlog of GCMS slowing down application process is concerned, I think most if not all the members have or had applied for them at some point, so I see no problem there. Each applicant is free what they would and wouldn't want to do !
Good luck !
I can agree or disagree with you on how competent or incompetent or lack of professionalism they are trying to hide by providing unreal processing times, but does it change the fact anything about it or if not take their timeline into account then what other timeline do you suggest to be followed? When you talk about stage 1 taking no more than 16 or 17 months, it doesn't change the fact the the entire process from start to end can and does take more than 20 months on average, and keeps increasing so we're not talking about stages here. Thanks
Good luck !
I also have same timeline and not info till now. Unfortunately, I got a removal order and will be attending interview next week.
I am trusting God for the best while hoping to get AIP soonest.
AOR takes between one and three months. If you don’t get AOR by month end, I’ll advise you call IRCC. There is little or nothing your lawyer can do about this.
