Hi,
Below is my timeline:

Called IRCC in Feb and got through to an agent after about half an hour's wait. Wasn't helpful at all and said that whatever you see online is all that they can tell me and that they are still within the processing time of six months. I asked if I will get a decision within six months and was told that is the minimum time required for processing.
Fast forward to last Friday (Mar 15) and got through to a wonderful agent who took the time to look up my case and this is what I got:
Eligibilty - Under Review. Don't recall if these were the exact words or if they said they were reviewing as from what I've read in this forum, Under Review might not be a good thing. Will have to call back next week to confirm.
Security - Not Started
Criminality - Passed
Processing Center - Ottawa
A few questions for the experts here:
- Here's the kicker: They said I can expect a decision by June 28th!!! That is about 9 months! Did anyone else here get a date an estimated completion date after calling IRCC?
- Anybody here knows what happens to the progress bar after you hit the 6 months. Mine shows 19 days remaining. Does it show you a more realistic date after you hit the six months?
- Also wondering if it is a good idea to order notes now or to wait for the six month mark since I am so close to it. Is it better to order it yourself or use a paid service? I can order through some friends who live in Canada.
Thanks
