These are very wise words.
As for your PR renewal, I was in the same boat where my processing timeline started going beyond the advertised timeline. I have been a PR for over 15 years and my PR card was expired. Submitting webforms resulted in silly responses that didn't even acknowledge my questions.
In this situation, I did what @WantToImmigrate suggested and requested ATIP from IRCC and CBSA. And guess what? Less than a week after I submitted the requests and they went to an in-progress status on my ATIP dashboard, my PR renewal was approved. LOL I am now convinced that this may not have been a coincidence.
I just got off the phone with IRCC and they said my application is progressing along. Nothing open or missing or seems on hold. And my LPP has not started yet. So it is definitely a good idea to continue to exercise patience.

I have no idea where LPP was done. I never called them since the processing was fairly on time.
After the AOR - which was from Sydney office, rest of the communication was from Calgary office.
Same here. She said my LPP hasn’t been even touched yet which sucks.
She also said my application is non-routine because they requested my fingerprints, but lots of applicants who gave fingerprints had their application completed within a very good timeframe so who knows.
Nothing. Which is unfortunately normal. Most of the time one’s application takes to process is actually spent in the queue where there is absolutely nothing being done on your application. Its just parked until an officer picks it up again.
That is what stressed me out, what if the officer just forgets about it? according to IRCC, the processing is 9 months now, so technically they can wait for another 6 months to pick it up again...
Yep. When I called today the agent pretty much indirectly said that same thing to me. It was heartbreaking to hear
yeah when I called yesterday and the agent was like all we need to do is wait, he actually said those to me.Yep. When I called today the agent pretty much indirectly said that same thing to me. It was heartbreaking to hear
I have feeling that IRCC is intentionally slowing down. I guess they dont want to overwhelm themselves
Or the IRCC leadership is trying to make a point that the layoffs will be catastrophic by slowing things down to get noticed and receive more headcount.
And think about it, Canada is already generous with how short a PR must wait to apply for citizenship, they don't want to appear too easy or eager to welcome citizens. But Canada has the easiest immigration laws to be honest. You can immigrate and become a citizen within the first 5 years of moving here. Try doing that in any other country?
why I have a feeling that all our files are with the same officer, lol.
all are waiting for LPP and they all appear to be in Vancouver (my guess based on what I have seen), I get a feeling they work in batches...
