Wow, their response is just not satisfying at all. They are not even willing to start processing it. They say its in process whereas you don't even have the Acknowledgement of Receipt. Anyways, 4 days will be over soon and now you can inquire based on exceeding the 12 month then. I guess that's what they want to see.Thanks dear this is the reply i got from mp
I spoke about your file today. The agent checked everything. There are no additional requests or notes. He admitted that there is not much done, however there is a high volume of the Spousal sponsorship applications in the same conditions. Now, after the elections the Government is still re-organizing the Cabinet and key staff, wherever is required. The IRCC is working with their limited capacity.
Your application is still considered to be within normal processing timeframes taken the circumstances the Government of Canada had lately (COVID, elections, crisis in Afghanistan).
Hopefully after the re-organizing of staff and key members, things might turn around we can only be hopeful and pray this elections was just a blessing in disguise.
