Family Class (spouse) taking too long, no update for 10 months

I submitted the Family class (outside Canada and for outside Quebec) application on behalf of my wife as unpaid representative on Feb 10, 2024.
Received AOR on March 2, 2024
Biometrics done on March 26, 2024
Medical passed on March 30, 2024


And after that there has been no update. The IRCC processing time say 10 months but it has been close to 11 months now.
I'm now starting to worry why is this taking too long.

On the application status tracker site it say
Eligibility: Not Started
Background Verification: In Progress

And it has been like that since March.

Is there something I can do? I feel like something is up with the application.

Any suggestion/help is greatly appreciated.

Did you use GCMS to know the updates. I am on same boat. Your med n biometric some in a matter of few weeks, mine they sent biometric in one month then medical in next month .
Yes. I have applied for GCMS notes twice and there's not much there. First time I applied in June and then in Dec. And they are identical except now the Primary Office says New Delhi while the June one was Ottawa IR.

Here are the ASSESSMENTS (same in both June's and Dec's GCMS notes)
Eligibility: Not Started
Security: Not Started
HIRV:
Criminality: In Progress
Org Crime:
Medical: Passed
Misrepresentation:
Info Sharing: In Progress

Took about 3-4 weeks on both occasions. Not sure what HIRV means. Probably an internal term they use.
I googled after you mentioned.
HIRV means Human and International Rights Violation

Did you get any response ? Did they do any update ?
