- Your application was transferred to the Vancouver office on August 26th, 2021.
- Security assessment was completed on Jan 20th, 2022.
- The file is moving.
- There is no additional information required from the applicant at this time.
- When fingerprints were requested, it became a non-routine application.
Meanwhile, I sent multiple IRCC Web Forms, and all got standard replies.
Hopefully I will receive the test invite soon. I studied so hard 3 months ago ... and now my vibe has diminished
