Yeah I don’t actually know if it’s useful or not .. but it’s worth the try. Where did you find your MP and did you email them?
https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en search by your postal code. I contacted MP from Liberal party, but they refused to help me and told me to ask MP from my area... Had to send email to conservatives :) Thanks to @Khan5696 he shared this link with me

Hey everyone! Jan 2020 applicant here
I just checked the status and found this:

We sent you a letter on April 2021. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
It seems like it’s biometrics refund, but I haven’t received the letter yet. Is this a good sign? It also shows medical received.

Could you help with the full timeline?

It's always better with the full timeline.

You should leave out sensitive data; it's practically generic information from then on.

Some from January 2020 already got DM.

Inshallah. You will hear good news soon. Brother to be honest none of us have control on what is happening and it’s weird that there is no queue or FIFO system. The only thing is if your officer is efficient he can finish quickly that’s all
True hopefully we all get out of this stressful situation soon "Inshah allah"

my friend...im so tired of that.i even stopped checking the status of application since its a waste of time. My in-canada dependent left country (because of the covid restrictions, he is unable to work and we barely cover expenses) until the decision will be made. The whole process of reviewing In-Canada PR applications turned out to be an extremely unfair biased procedure. I wish us and all "forgotten" applicant from 2018 and 2019 all the best of luck :)
You are absolutely right I have my two dependents here and rest in back home , and I am tired of telling them your application will be done soon

Hello everyone,

June 2019 application :)
I just called IRRC today and they said all assessments passed and a note that was posted on April 7 says

Pending cancelation of diplomatic passport.

Does anyone know what that means? who will cancel it? do I need to do anything? the agent has no idea and didn't tell me what to do.

When I applied for asylum I gave them my diplomatic passport which will expire on 11/2022, don't tell me I have to wait till then :(

Yes! Does that affect anything?
It means your legal representative would see a better detailed timeline than you would.
That means your application could have progressed further than the timeline you see in your account. Call IRCC. You don't need to speak directly to an agent. Just check on the progress of your application using your file number.
