I emailed my MP in the morning and, by coincidence or not, received an email from the case officer in the evening that my file remains in queue to be reviewed by an officer. The email even has the IRCC unique Id number of the officer.
Has anyone received any emails like this from a case processing center before? I can only assume this means my application has gained some traction, but it's not encouraging that the file is still in queue after 1 year.
The mail came from
