Hi everyone, A few days ago I sent an Email to IRCC, here is my Email:
Enquiry:
Hi, we sent our permanent residency application in the sponsorship category on Jan 18,2021. It is now more than 4 months and I still haven't received any email from CIC regarding my file number or confirmation on receiving the document and starting the process. I wanted to be sure that there is no problem with my application. Could you please let me know about my file number and the status of my application? Thank you.
And I received this reply:
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
We verified the information you provided and can confirm that the
application is still in process.
All the required documents and information have been received by the
responsible office for the moment.
Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus
(COVID-19)<

some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical
staff only.
We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible;
however, processing
times<

accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to
finalize the application as soon as possible.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is
reached or if additional information is needed.
Furthermore, please note that there are two ways you can check your
