I am in the same situation presently..i heard once a file is moved to Etobicoke, it might take another 1 to 2years to get response from them.I have a friend also asking this question, she already has a sponsorship application ongoing and her file just got transferred to Etobicoke so she’s confused that it might take longer to get approved,
And with this new pathway she’s qualified because she worked during the pandemic. So she don’t know if she should apply for the new program or if it will affect her sponsorship application ongoing already.
