Hi.

I need some help or advice.
I am an outland applicant who submitted all of my documents on 2020, every time we call an agent to follow up on the application, they tell us we don't need anything, your application is in progress.

Its been almost a year and a month with no update on when I will receive the PR, every time I email them via the web form, no1 responds to me, I just receive an automatic message from IRCC about the Afghan refugee matter.

I am 27 weeks pregnant, and I am confused what to do, whether I should go to Canada and follow up on my application from there? or shall I stay and keep on following from where I am? knowing that I have zero updates on my PR application and my medical exam got expired too .. this is so confusing.

I email IRCC about my situation many times via the Webform but with no response...

Did any outland applications who applied in Oct 2020 receive their PR ??
go to Canada? do you have any legal status to be in Canada? if you are Outland (fsw or CEC outland) then thats the main reason why its slow as they have a HUGE backlog of outland applications as the focus was on applicants from within Canada.

Hi all,

I submitted my application on 6 October, as BC PNP and CEC, together with my wife and our two children.

AOR 6 October 2020
Biometrics 24 November

I had a medical update 10 February as medicals passed which got me exciting that I would soon receive PR confirmation.

Local MPs assistants in the meantime checked and confirmed security passed, eligibility recommended, medical passed, only criminality pending.

I sent a web form with all the information I received from MP's assistant (because there is no update on IRCC website) and asked if criminality is complete and if they could provide a timeline to me.

I am at this stage completely exhausted from all this waiting period. Do you guys have any opinion on what I should expect next, and what I can do?

Thank you to all who can guide me.
