No one has any real idea what's happening, and anyone claiming otherwise is full of it. This thread is rampant with speculation and anxiety. Processing times could be determined by the agent processing the application as much as it could be the application itself. I think the best we can do is just sit back, relax, and wait because there's literally nothing else we can do. I have, in what I think, is a pretty simple application but I haven't had an update in a month. I can only assume they're reviewing my application, or not reviewing my application and prioritizing others, but there's no way of knowing or doing anything about it.Timeline:
Inland application
AOR : 7 Sept 2021
Request adult dependant child to complete IMM5406 : 8 Oct 2021
Medical passed: 21 Oct 2021
Request minor child to submit biometrics : 17 Nov 2021
Glad to see some movement on our file but anxious to have this process completed.
Does anybody know if the biometrics request is a good sign if all else is done and PPR will be soon or is it just 1 more hoop to jump through and be patient?
Yes we need, as per the requirement of express entry candidates.Hello folks
Do we need birth certificate for CEC
I am a single inland cec applicant and haven’t submitted any birth certificate.. Is it mandatory or essential to submit it?

Good speculations, this is reality , every file is different and every person has different background. Even the visa offices work differently. Its always a dynamic situation.

Here are the only things I am certain of:
1. CEC applications are being prioritized and are being reviewed.
@sq96 my understanding other way around... like if "Your application is in progress...." then something happening. Actually same mine is in status since i started noticing like past one month... Anyway its good as long as if something happens..That's a good sign I think, mine just says "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start processing your background check"
The background change to In Progress is getting delayed the overall process.@sq96 my understanding other way around... like if "Your application is in progress...." then something happening.

Welcome friend!Hi
My AOR is Sep 12, 2021. I am a CEC inland applicant. No updates on medical (old medical from 2017) and biometrics yet. I got two ghost updates, one with an email and another without email but when I logged in I saw application updated message but no update. My background check message has changed to "we will let you know when we start your background check".
I am just wondering if anyone in the same situation?
Thank you.
Yes, they have my old biometric from 2019 and it shows the biometric number in the portal.Welcome friend!
"we will let you know when we start your background check" -- this means your Criminality check / PCC verification is running/started, Its called IP1 around here i believe.
I think your application has achieved MEP, they have not yet updated it on your portal.
Does IRCC has your old biometrics? Did you give biometrics before?
When did you get those GUs? As in date?
Lastly, what was the month of your medical in 2017? Some folks may have to do it again when IRCC asks.
