Anyone waiting for more than 30 working days (new portal only) should raise a web form and email CPC Ottawa directly to request a status update. Files that are being reviewed in Ottawa are processed while the KSA Visa Offices aren't processing many applications so 99% of you will only get a reply that the file is in the queue for processing. It is the same with some other Visa Offices around the world as well.

It has helped a few applicants recently.
Thank you for this info. I raised a new webform and chose that my application is inside canada so it will go to CPC ottawa right?

When I sent request to withdraw the application through the webform, they did it within a half-hour, which means they are intentionally not processing TRV applications !!!
True I have heard the same from others. You have a right to ask IRCC to move new portal processing to Ottawa or other Visa Office as a part Global Case Management System (GCMS) workload distribution agreement which was set in place to redistribute workload for international applications to different visa offices in the world. This was placed to allow fair processing time for all.

Although the success rate of moving visa offices is unknown at this point, it may help in identifying IRCC regarding the dissatisfaction of applicants in specific regions.

from KSA office, yes they will always reply like this.. like robots.. how in queue and one member of the thread here got his passport although we applied on the same day...
when did u do your biometrics? because what i have heard that who is submitting their biomimetics recently are getting their replies on time.. but old biometrics are left in limbo (queue).. due to a very bad ircc system..
