Historically in pandemic situation there are two waves first wave passed !! Second (I hope noo) when winter will come!
I applied in September 2018 and haven't received MR yet ? I had ordered GCMS notes last September ,it says my file is in normal process.
GCMS notes are generally generated around the time the requests is made, not at the time they are released. At the bottom left of the file it should indicate when the file was generated.
Sounds like you received a 60 day extension; there is an ongoing investigation into such delays. Please see https://www.oic-ci.gc.ca/en/resources/news-releases/information-commissioner-initiates-systemic-investigation-department
You will never get any more information or you can not push them. Believe me, I tried to do this many, many times. The only way is to find your local parliament representative and ask for assistance if you are over due. They can put some pressure.
I'm an outland applicant, getting the help of any Parliamentarian is not possible for me. I'll be calm, let's see what the immigration will do.
I understand your frustration, I hope your background is not complicated. It's beyond my comprehension why certain files are heavily delayed. I'm waiting 11 months to pass my BC, last time they contacted me was in January 2019.

Your timeline is similar to me, with application sent from OCT 2018, but my MR, Pre arrival and PCC from June 2020. What is your local visa office, and did you do PCC upfront ?
Eight months back I got my GCMS notes, in that they didn't mention anything about by BC, I did submit PCC when I applied. In my GCMS notes they said my file is in normal processing time.
