Hello guys
My application was submitted on May 28, 2020 and I had my biometrics in October. On feb 19, 2021, my file started showing that they are reviewing my additional documents. Does that mean they just started my application??

We’re working at full capacity to process applications.

You may experience delays because we have a backlog of applications due to COVID-19.

We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between
May 10 and 16, 2020 ?
If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.
What kind of inverted logic is this?! "let's process a backlog in reverse order..." *facepalm*

I also email my local mp here just a way of getting so movement on my file! Let me know how it goes
They did called the IRCC and the status are the same eligibility passed others are in progress
The casework for the PM told me that I have an option to send them a letter to request for urgent processing with a reasonable reason like if you are an essential worker.

mine is 17 May, 2020. Very unlucky
their last update of a similar nature was that they're working on august applications, which implies they're working the backlog in reverse. So May 17 AOR in that case would make you lucky rather than unlucky... though we can't be sure. I wouldn't put it past them to have arbitrarily jumped back 3 months from their august date and processing forwards from there. maybe they'll surprise you ;)

Thanks for giving hope. Very nice attitude. I liked it very much.

Mine is May 7th, so they ignored all before May 10th? Lol I got an update on my profile last Friday that my medical exams were approved (expired back in July but I guess they extended it). Hopefully we all hear good news soon.

Yes. I think their extending medical is prelude to approving your application. Let the good news begin
