I wish I could understand why IRCC is so slow with the CEC stream. I applied for PR and got my AOR in July. Passed medicals on Aug 22, 2018. I have even seen several ghost updates but no PR. The most frustrating part is that I ordered for my GCMS notes in November to seewhat's going on. The note showed that I passed medicals, R10 stage, criminal checks and eligibility. Infact, as of Nov 2018, my file was being assessed by the IRCC office in Calgary. A Visa officer made a recommendation saying "after reviewing all documents and recommendations from other officers, I make the following recommendation: Recommend pass A11.2: Appears met R87.1: CEC MINIMUM REQUIREMENT - Appears Met Ready to finalize RPRF - Complete".
This recommendation was made around mid October based on the GCMS note but up to now (January 6, 2019), I haven't heard anything. Meanwhile, people who applied in September are already getting their PR, especially Outland FSW candidates. This is really frustrating
