Progress Bar showed completion on March 30, 2021 but disappeared a day before on 98% citing covid delays. Can I do anything to find out about the status of my application? Can I expect a decision within this year? I am really worried. Is it just the helplessly waiting game now? Does the webform enquiry do any help?

I got an email saying We successfully get your document, and when I log in I saw my additional document status is updated from N/A to we are reviewing your additional document.
I uploaded my RPRF receipt in Nov 2020, and they told me they got it today...
Aor Sept 2020 Sydney, anyone have any idea what is happening?

VO Ottawa, progress bar disappeared after 100% completion 5th March due to covid delays. I ordered my GCMS notes on March and it says eligibility is passed, criminality and info sharing in progress and security not started.
I guess we have to wait again and again... I hope we can leave at the end of 2021. I was wondering if I ask for new GCMS notes this summer, what do you think ?
You can ask IRCC your status by phone with Fongo World application, or by webform. Or you can ask for your GCMS notes ?
Hi @legalfalcon please decode my GCMS Notes, which was received on may 17, 2021:::---

I am also CEC inland with 1 dependent and same status as yours. Last update was on April 25th when eligibility was conclusively passed but security not started. Please let me know if your status changes.
IRCC is now taking almost 11 to 12 months in 80% of the cases to process. On one hand IRCC continues to roll out ITAs and launch new programs, but does not share how it has increased its processing staff numbers, enhanced processes to handle more and more new applications. The website gives vague and contradicting information. Even if the focus is on INLAND applications, it cannot keep harping on the pandemic issue. because the covid 19 circumstances are here to stay for long, IRCC needs to adapt if it were to match the economic requirements of Canada through immigration.

Understanding “Review Required”
A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.
Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):
R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals - See https://bit.ly/3cxnr0w
A11.2 – eligibility
Security - see https://bit.ly/3apWglN
Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.
However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.
Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.
Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.
Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:
1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.
There are just some of the scenarios.
Review Required on Client Info.. check your information related to travel history, personnel history and yes/no questions related military service etc.. if there are gaps in the period for personnel history, you may receive ADR to resubmit the client details form.
Hi @ridhig1 , Did you upgrade your PGDIBO course from IGNOU to an MCOM one or were you doing two parallel courses from different universities separately? When did you complete your PGDIBO course and when did you get your evaluation done? Please guide as I am considering to do PGDIBO, IGNOU to boost my score. I have also done Bachelors in Economics from DU.
My application shows Approved on the CIC website and I can see the COPR number. How long does it usually take for the COPR letter? Also, see the expiry date as August 19, 2021. What do I need to do before that date? Thanks!
