So I heard from a friend of mine (they were on a call with someone at IRCC through their work as they are a client of a client) and they were told that IRCC year end is March 31st, and that they are pushing through/processing as many applications as possible. I'm wondering if that's why so many June/July/August applications are getting through faster?

If IRCC have a measurement for success, it probably encompasses not just numbers, but how long the applications take to process? If they push through all the summer applicants, their processing time average for 2020 won't be so high. All the summer applicants probably have everything basically finalised in the system, with autumn/winter applicants probably still having some things they are waiting on. If they wait until April 1st, and THEN start processing Jan-May 2020, sure at the beginning the average processing time metric for 2021 would be high, but the average would balance out during the remainder of the year if they get back to processing in a timely manner. Does that make sense?

So if during April, all the applicants from Jan-May suddenly start getting approved, we know IRCC was intentionally holding off because of their own internal metrics. But if it continues as usual, and we're still not being looked at, I think it might be the case that Biometrics screwed us up. Anyone from Jan-May had to wait until October-ish to get Biometrics done. This is over the 30-90 day limit IRCC usually have. Even though they said it didn't matter, it might be that the system wasn't sert up to account for this, and so reshuffled everyone from those earlier months back into the pool because Biometrics wasn't completed before the requested date. In that case, we really are just all sitting in limbo, and either IRCC knows this, and doesn't care, or they don't know, but still don't care, because it seems like everyone from Jan-May is constantly calling their phone line and complaining about the timeframe! If we're sitting in limbo, we are literally waiting for case workers to notice our files in the system.

That's my current conspiracy theory, could be a load of hogwash, but the remnants of hope are giving me some comfort!
@legalfalcon what are your views on this? Does ircc really finish their work year on 31st March?

It can make total sense. I found the last immigration report and it was released on March 31.

Called IRCC for a status update and to vent my frustrations (AOR APril 27th 2020, Bio Oct 23rd, Criminality STILL in progress, Security Not Started), and they gave me the same BS answer "everyone's application is delayed, every application is different, the only thing you can do is wait" and honestly that just made me so much more annoyed.....I don't even know what to do anymore.

I had heard that their year end at IRCC is March 31st, and they are pushing through as many applications as they can, but that mostly seems to be people in the June to August 2020 range, but so hard to tell.....urrrrrggggggg
I got the same reply. Criminality In progress and security not Started. (AOR: April 4th, 2020)
