Nope, 176 days and no word yet. I am in contact with my MP, but it can take a while for them to hear back too. No choice but to continue waiting.

I dont believe IRCC closes for the holidays, except Dec 25th and 26th.

Its 173 days today for me and still no update. Saw 1 person getting SOWP today in another thread. He applied on 24th August.
IRCC is closed only on Dec 25th & 26th.

187 days waiting. Online account says still in background check. I dont know whats happening or why its taking this long. I have just requested my GCMS notes through an ATIP request. Hopefully that provides some clarity.

I applied for the BOWP on july 23, and no words till now. the ircc state 165 days processing time. What makes me upset is everytime I applied for something, it will always way past the due date for a few months. on march 204 I applied for the visitor record and took them 8 months!

Today i got my Biometrics validity letter (biometrics were given in 2022) so someone has opened my application. Im hoping the answer (approval or denial) will not be long now, but with the new year holiday i dont know. Its movement.. so thats something. I obviously want an approval but at this point im just hoping for answer soon. 190 days today.

Happy New Year everyone!

Everyone who got approval, they got Biometric Validity Letter. And next day or so, they got Final Decision. So you should get your FD today or tomorrow for sure. Best of Luck
