They’ve got to have a plan to finish when they invite 5000 every two weeks.

Not all of the 5000 invites get taken up to start with. Following that, it isn't like all the accepted invites then end up at Ottawa anyway.

Not many are not going to decline. That's negligible.
Many CEC and most FSW in the US are in Ottawa. Based on the current progress, there is no doubt they are way behind.

I just called IRCC again a few min ago- agent told me that my eligibility was recommended passed by an officer and not an analyst.. seemed a bit weird that it went straight to an officer or is that normal? @legalfalcon @caipsnotes

Thank you for your reply!

Hi all,

I sent a webform on Nov 6 and got this reply today,
"All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.
Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only.
We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to finalize the application as soon as possible.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
Furthermore, please note that there are two ways you can check your application status online. You can verify the status of your application:

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry."

But i asked for the status of Eligibility Criminality and Security.

Hi. It would be odd if that was the case; likely the agent is just using officer as a generic term/reference for who is doing the review process. If it's recommended pass at this time then it will make its way to an officer (decision making authority) for the final say. All the best

Hey guys today I called IRCC to check on my application by entering my application number and DOB. I noticed that biometric was not mentioned at all and my background changed from "Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." To "we are processing your background check."

any idea what this might mean?

To give you more insight, the last time i touched base with an agent on Nov 9
Eligibility : recommended passed
Security: not started
AOR Jul 1
VO: CPC-Ottawa

Thx guys. @legalfalcon @caipsnotes i would appreciate your thoughts with this one

Hi. Background check is a generic term for criminality check, security screening and information sharing. The key here is that eligibility has not been passed by an officer as yet, it's the most important stage. Once that's done your file will move to the security screening stage. Once security changes from "not started" to blank that means Eligibility has been passed by an officer. All the best.

Thank you for the reply, wat if we take an appointment before hand. Will that suffice?

May i ask did you take your biometrics out of your country ? If yes which country?

Greetings everyone. So I ordered notes on nov 11 and got a ghost update yesterday nov 25. Nothing changed. The background still says "we are processing...." Not "...in progress". Any chance that the GU is only related to the notes as opposed to actual progress? What you think?

I don't think so requesting notes will cause GU in your profile.

Hi @legalfalcon Is biometrics exempted for people outside Canada also if they have given biometrics before ?

Yes it is...
It doesnt depend on the current country of residence... If you have given biometrics in the past, you are exempted...
