Please help, I need some insight on what can I do, (My timeline already exist in the Google sheet).

April 21, 2022 submitted
May 4, 2022 AOR
Nov 8, 2022 Backround
Nov 25, 2022 Test passed
Dec 6, 2022 Test completed

Ordered 4x times GCMS, contacted MP with no reply, Applied for urgent processing (I fall under one of the categories for urgent travel)
Still, since December 6, nothing. I have lost hope.
I'm almost exactly as you, AOR May 5, test completed Nov 30.

I got a reply from my MP, the standard 'you are within standard processing times, you just have to wait' reply BS.

It's ridiculous... there doesn't seem to be a pattern to why some of us are stuck and others got fast processing. I've explored a few possible patterns and none of them come up true for everyone. I think the only pattern is we got assigned to the same dead end queue.

Do you have e-Grants PE as your location in your GCMS notes?

I've sent this to a few journalists. Hopefully one picks it up.

we are all in the same cruise !! IRCC is full of BS now and they can't even give answers!!!!!! like what the hell wrong with our applications to be delayed so long!! order gcms again, and read it thoroughly, you must catch on what is going on and what is pending!! I have almost same timeline and still nothing!!!!
As usual, LPP is pending, it is just so bad.

it's so weird... I'm also in Sydney office, stuck since test in December 9, and they're working on applications that did test after me... they just throw applications to the air and get one randomly.

I think Sydney is the central queue, your local office is where your application should be at.

I called IRCC and the agent told me the canned answer, 19 months timeframe and she can't do anything before November, my residency and prohibitions seems not started yet! but couldn't understand what she meant by they are working actively on my application! I asked her when was the last time my file was touched, she said in the notes shows on July 7th (when I requested gcms notes) which means my file is collecting dust!! she told me I know it is frustrating to see others getting their files finalized, and she is receiving lots of calls regarding that, and nothing to worry about and all that yada yada, and keep an eye on your email for the next steps!!! like commoooooooooon IRCC, April 2023 are getting oaths and we are f.....ng waiting!!!

"she can't do anything before November" , as if they could do something after that :rolleyes:
I wish someone from IRCC would share inside information about what's going on there.... like, if they at least think about fixing this situation, if they have good reason for the delay, etc...
they are probably forced to prioritize refugees, since that's what the media talks about.

I believe all they can do is notify the officer, and they do actually forward your correspondences to your officer, the problem is there are asshole officers that do delay things on purpose, or leave without an auto reply message :D its a complete joke!!!!! un supervised officers and workers !!
