No updates yet.
The average processing time for FSW increased from 5 months to 6 months as per IRCC website yesterday.

I'm Nov 21st.

Tell me when do they send refusal email if there's a refusal?
They'll send you a cancellation email if you missed something within your application before R10 pass(Med pass/BIL).

After R10, they can send an ADR or PFL - none of which are refusal emails. If you fail to satisfy ADR, you get a PFL. If you fail to satisfy PFL, you get a refusal email.

Thank you very much. I thought mine takes longer because of it's a refusal or rejection

There are a few cases where it took 4 months for them to issue a BIL too. You never know when you are going to get yours or how long it could possibly take. You can file GCMS/CBSA notes to see if you are R10 pass or not after a few weeks. If they show that you are R10 pass, it would be a waiting game.

Could you explain how to do this?

Btw, this was the case that I was referring to: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/june-aor-2023-thread.805786/post-10592925

About ordering GCMS notes, there are quite a few threads like these on the forum: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-order-gcms-notes-step-by-step-process.513893/ - this one could be a little odd, but you can find more recent ones here. If you are unable to find one, do ping me, I'll search for one and get back to you.

I called IRCC and they said they will send the letters to the new group shortly. Not sure what they meant but it looks like they send letters on batches. They told me my application is in security stage which will take a while and eligibility passed. Also they said application will be processed within 5 months.
It is clear now that even if they did not request for biometrics, the application is processed and moving on the next phase.
