New portal, from China, for business vistor visa.
Have US travelling history.

Submitted: 5 Aug
Biometrics done: 9 Aug

Nothing update till now....
Not start reviewing yet.

More than 2 months....
Have raised webform but I'm told to up to 28 days to get a reply.
Raised webform on 28 Sep.
Received feedback today(14 Oct).
Here's the feedback information:
"
We are aware that your application is out of IRCC service standard, however, processing times may be longer due to the high volume of applications received. We recommend that you do not take any final steps in finalizing your trip to Canada, such as purchasing plane tickets, until a visa is approved.

At this time we do not have an express service and we process application in order of the date they are received.
"
No useful information. Just ask me to pay attention to wait.

Eligibility review can start as soon as biometrics are loaded, or can take a while. There’s no set time. For all, background check starts along with application submission. Eligibility can start right after Biometrics, or can take months. There are also instances (many infact and majority of them) the entire file remains the same until the day of PPR and all gets updated.

Whats your travel date ?

I have submitted my application on Aug 11th for my mother. Biometrics done. No update from then. Biometrics are not uploaded in the portal as well. Travel date I have mentioned is in Jan 2023.. Just wanted to check if my application is getting delayed because of the travel dates.
