Hi, My status is pretty much similar to yours. You have to touch base with them on bi-weekly basis. Best of luckAOR - June 21, I called IRCC around the third week of October and was told the following status:
Eligibility - Recommend Passed
Criminality - In progress
Security - Not started
I gave my biometrics on 1 November(updated same day). I called again today after over a month and nothing has changed. Which makes me wonder do applications just sit there without anything being done on it for months ?
It's ridiculous the number of people who spend a significant amount of time day after day hoping for an update on what appears to be a never ending process !
