Welcome to the club! We are all 8+ months here with no update. Unfortunately there is very little we can do to move the application along - IRCC works on the application when they feel like, nothing much we can do.Hi all, hope any of you can shed some light on this..I have been waiting for over 8 months now...
AOR: 29 may 2019
FSW - O
Review of eligibility
Review of medical results
- We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of additional documents
- July 9, 2019 You passed the medical exam.
Interview
- Not applicable.
NOTE: I had a request letter for additional documents on Dec 5 2019 (stating "we have begun processing your application"... does that mean they started 6+ months after??). Since then the status shows "your action is required"...but I already submitted the docs. Besides, following a webform, IRCC confirmed they received them. Does this mean it's a system glitch, or that nobody has done anything since 5th Dec 19, thus the status did not change?
Biometrics
- You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check
- July 22, 2019 Completed.
Final decision
- We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made
I sent a web Form to know an approximate ETA of the process but obviously I got nothing (I asked a stupid question, I know). They did say, though, that they received my additional docs (great!).
Should I be worried? What should I do to have an idea as to where my application is stuck? I am starting getting nervous as you can imagine..
Thanks to all
In order to understand what's happening with your application you can order GCMS notes. They take 30 days to arrive and can provide some detail as to what's going on with your application. The quickest thing you can do right now is call IRCC and ask what is the status of your application in terms of: Eligibility, Security and Criminality. Specifically ask for these 3 attributes. You can also ask which Visa Office is processing your application though that isn't necessarily helpful.
At this point you can just try gathering information - apart from that sit tight, wait and hope for the best. Hopefully the wait isn't too long.
