So, I called IRCC back the day I joined the alleged 20%, and the agent told me that she would send a reminder to CPC-Ottawa. A couple of days later I got an e-mail stating "Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications."
Yesterday I called IRCC to see if someone perhaps dusted my application off to start working on it, but the agent again said that nothing had changed and that she'd send another reminder to IRCC, and I have just gotten their reply, and it reads: "Please be informed that your application is currently in queue for review by an officer."
There's a clear difference between these two messages and it made slightly hopeful, but we all know what IRCC is like. What do you guys think, am I reading too much into this?
EDIT: I should also point out that in both calls the only things reported as complete are Criminality and Medicals. Eligibility and Security were said to be not started. According to my GCMS notes from May, Info Sharing was still in progress although this never came up during any call.
