Hello guys, so cic replied to me saying they could not locate my file. Probably because september files has not been touched yet to generate an application number. I don't know what else to do. I'll just have to be patient and wait. God is in control.

As much as I don't like calling CIC, I did so early morning today and had a pleasant conversation with the agent, much to my surprise.
1. Can you find my file in the system to give me a temporary number? He checked couldn't find it.
2. Can you see other September applications in the system? They're not in the system yet,I do see July though, so maybe give it another month before calling back, close to December most likely.
3. Can I submit a webform without the temp number? Yes, you can, but it's useless because it won't link to any application so would advise you wait for at least the temporary number.
4. Does name have to be written in native language on IMM5406? Yes, that would be preferred if applicable.
Hopefully these responses help the rest of you.

Hi everyone, I know this information has been posted a million times, but I just searched it and couldn’t find it after 30 mins. So please forgive me. What is the series of numbers I should press when following IRCC phone prompts, in order to speak to a rep and obtain temp number? I would like this info for when Sep outland applicants start receiving temp numbers. Thanks in advance.

Get to Agent Press 2-1-0 after hearing them blabbering for about 3 minutes.
So, how long is it taking to achieve Decision Made (DM)? Looking at the 2019 and 2020 tracker spreadsheets, about half of the July & August 2019 Outland group have indicated DM. Sept & Oct 2019 are approaching 50%, and then it drops off from there. Therefore, it's taking a bit over a year (from application received) for about half of applicants to achieve DM. Hopefully, this will speed up given the dedication to additional processing resources starting this October. And it's encouraging to see a handful of February 2020 applicants achieve DM.
From what I have noticed, a lot depends on the LVO that it goes to. Also keep in mind lots of offices weren't working March - July, so if we add 5 months back ( assuming they don't close again ), we can be looking at 10 months. But that is wishful thinking. More realistic is Nov 2021 for most of this group.
August 4 Outland also. Sponsor received AOR and sponsor's approval, then the PA received Biometric request. I saw it on FB group.
I had submitted Form 5406 online because I thought I forgot the city and zipcode for my brother.
Anyhow, I finally got an email back and they said that they can't attach that document, that I would just have to send it again after it's rejected.
Hopefully I corrected that form before I sent it and just forgot to save it. But, otherwise I'll be sending my application again after it gets rejected.

Well, lots of August AORs. 6 of them. But it doesn't make sense. They should be going by date, not random. This way December people will get AORs before we do.

I think not every officer will look at every applications the same. Some had theirs returned, mostly Inland for zip code/country mistake. But also some were still able to get AOR. I hope we are all lucky to get AOR, hopefully this December or sooner.
Please don't fret it. Just wait to get your temporary number and use it to attach updated form to your file. It is a pretty common occurrence and lots of people have to submit amended forms even from the September 2020 group.
And "they" don't know anything. "They" only give out misinformation and negative info at that. Take it with a grain of salt.
