Thank you for answering my questions. I just hate the feeling of waiting for nothing to do now. LoL...

On a positive note, they are processing the results first come first serve as it seems. Saw someone in the Facebook group from Toronto who finished the test on Feb 15th has his status changed to DM today.
Based on the comments here, I haven't seen anyone received a test invitation from the Montreal office since last January. Is my observation correct? Montreal remains a red zone unlike the rest of Quebec, and I am afraid this implies that no tests and more delay!

Regarding the online applicants, this shows that IRCC were capable of implementing this system years ago instead of piling paper documents. Now when the pandemic hit, it has been harder to bring hard copy files to the immigration officers' homes assuming that they work from home because they are non-essential business, while they can download the online applications and study them from their home and on their computers. Indeed it's a very bad luck for us who applied late 2019 until late 2020, but also their lack sense of fairness towards us. We are are just file numbers to them, not humans.
I used driver's license and got the invite for an interview after that. So you don't have to use only PR card.
Anyone who has gone through an interview, how long does it take? In my case, they asked me to send the passport copy before the interview.

Hi I contacted the local MP member and asked them to help me check my application status. They responded with the following status:
The criminality verifications have expired on February 26, 2021 and will need to be reworked.
The security verifications are currently valid.
The immigration verifications have not been initiated.
As per our current processing times, it may take up to 12 months to finalize the application, if the applicant needs to travel during this time, they should apply to renew their permanent resident card if they are eligible.
The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and the next step would be the citizenship test.
Since it said my criminality verifications have expired on February 26, 2021 and do I have to do anything? Like, do I need to re-submit my background check to CIC? Thanks.

It is their process, criminality checks are conducted by RCMP and they expire after 12 months. Nothing much you can do at this point, just sit back and wait for updates.
Same for me. No communications whatsoever, nothing. Even they acknowledged my urgent processing 2 days ago, still nothing...
What did you use for your reasoning to be changed to urgent processing, if you don't mind my asking?

Definitely contact them and contact your MP for a detailed update too. The call center will probably only tell you “in process” “please wait” “covid”... etc
Thanks, I am sending email to MP and hope I receive any response
