Are there PR Application processing delays?

[inshallah13]

I submitted my PR Application thru Express Entry FSW on 13th March (1 month ago) and received the Acknowledgement of Receipt. I had already completed the medical before submitting. However, I am still not seeing any movement on my application. What is the next step I should be expecting?
Are the visa offices closed? Has there been any press release? I am hoping to receive the PR and travel by December this year so the delay it's making me a little nervous

Go on with your LIFE and sit back for at least months. Your process is only 1 month going so please show some patience.
If you start raising webforms already, IRCC officers have to spend their precious time answerring that. They can better spend it on processing files

As above although IRCC are still processing you should expect major delays due to reduced staffing levels currently. Nobody has any idea when anything will get back to normal so you will just have to be patient and not start contacting IRCC unnecessarily. There will be thousands of applicants in same position some who applied many months before you as well.

I am asking this question here to get an idea of how much processing times are delayed and if others in similar position have received any updates, I have not raised any webform and don't have any intention to so don't know why you jumped to that conclusion.

Thanks for your reply. This additional uncertainty in an already uncertain process can be quite frustrating in terms of planning things. I would like to be in a position to be in Canada by Jan 2020, latest March 2020

We don't know how long the processing delays will be due to COVID-19. That's really impossible to guess at this time since we do not know how long the current situation will last. All that we know at this time is that application processing time has been impacted and that Express Entry applicants should not expect processing to be completed in six months. Processing will take longer than six months.

That guy was just rude for no reason although you were asking politely. maybe he had got pissed by something else. I think I am in the same boat as you. I got my Express Entry invitation in May 2020 and submitted my application in June 2020. The progress bar on the application page hit 100% a month ago but I have been still looking at the same page with no updates. Could you share some updates if you've got any? Appreciate it in advance.
