I called them just now and it's my second time calling them (last time was late April). They're still saying that they're working on my application and have no updates to tell me at all. I submitted my GCMS note request earlier this month but haven't received anything yet. I passed my meds on Jan 11th and uploaded my RCMP check approx. a week later. I haven't heard back or had any 'ghost' update in my account at all.
This is frustrating, I only have 6 days left to my processing time and my work permit expires on the same date I will be hitting my 6 month mark. I've already applied for my BOWP but my god, I can't travel outside of Canada because I'm being held hostage to retain my implied status and while IRCC is fine with me changing my job, no one's gonna want to hire me if they know I'm on implied status and have an expired SIN (the hassle and the fact that many HR professionals simply don't know how to deal with this case). At this rate, my only option is to reach out to my MP regarding my application after I hit the 6-month mark. My biggest fear is that they might reject my application and I really don't know how to deal with it since my current WP is expiring and I will be on implied status. I'm fine with rejection but this far into the application is so incredibly frustrating because I have to scramble to get my ITA, then, all my application stuff ready and resubmit again. Ughhh
