I think it is indeed halted, I called CIC lots of times and you don't have to notify them unless they request it from you but I guess they know MIFI takes at least 5 months to issue the damnned csq now.
Unfortunately yes. My application is stopped since I was asked for the csq. I sent my application on August 7 and the midi received it on 9, and I still don't receive anything. I contacted my VO and they told me to send the csq as soon as I had it. I received the letter of Pre arrival exactly one month ago but nothing more. There is nothing left but to wait. I'm pretty frustrated because all this damn delay is because of Midi incompetence
