Just going to drop this here also!
So I just spoke to the most annoying IRCC rep. After waiting for 30 minutes and collecting my UCI and asking me the program I applied for, her response was I cannot provide you with any information regarding your application because of the crisis in Afghanistan. So I asked her how it makes any sense how she cant provide I, a tax paying resident of Canada with information regarding an application I paid for due to the crisis in Afghanistan and she was mute. I find it egregious that these agents just follow directions without asking any questions. Common sense would tell you that you should answer the person who paid a hefty sum for their application, but no the IRCC is too dumb to appreciate any of us. I cant wait for this broken system to change.

I understand your frustration - it's clear from the evident lack of background knowledge that these call handlers are not working under any written policy and if they are not solely "playing dumb" this highlights to me, a serious lack of training for their workers. This consequently makes me question their competence. I can fully appreciate that they are "doing what they are told/doing their job" however IRCC should consider that at this stage, there are many of us who feel forgotten about (some in more difficult circumstances than my own) - the lack of information, transparency or even consistency is making the whole application process tedious and frustrating. The fact that all IRCC divisions are solely prioritizing and operating on Afghan crisis applications alone, is entirely baffling to me - I would consider that they cannot operate effectively this way - surely they would be operating out of different departments and allocating different levels of competence / advice giving abilities for these particular, time-sensitive applications?

I haven't actually tried to call for information - in a bid to give them space and time to establish progress; I had however sent a webform in as my driving licence expired and I had questions relating to information given by ICBC who issued a temporary paper license and advised that I would not be able to renew when this expires unless I get a new AOR letter (updated date) - IRCC sent me a generic response stating confirmation that my application has been received and is in process... Obviously this helps in no way whatsoever as it's the only information I am currently privy to. I am currently left without photo ID, health care card or even knowing if I will even be allowed to drive next month.. lol :)

To me the problem is that there is zero ownership or responsibility for the lack of processing and clear inability to allocate adequate resources for completion of those applications already
received... I can't wait for the stress to be over! :)

Hello Guys,
Does anybody has experience with getting GCMS notes recently because it's already been 30 days since I requested mine ?
If you requested from IRCC it can take up 60 days as well... It may make sense to request them from CBSA.

Is there a way we can find out in which VO our file is being processed?
