Cakes are my boo. Or whoever is processing my visa application.
Hmm...I'll go with cakes.
I read it somewhere they would send notes to officers.
Perhaps it was someone in this thread or other threads had this kind of experience.
Anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask nicely so they would help.

Details about your application status
When we get your application, there are a series of steps it may go through before we make a decision. Use the following table to find out the current status of each application step.
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, permanent residence visa.
If for any reason you are not able to meet this deadline, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form with details concerning your situation.
STEP 1: UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION
If any of the following conditions apply, you must inform IRCC immediately via the IRCC Web form:
Marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation;
Death of the sponsor, the principal applicant or any accompanying family member;
Birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children;
You, the principal applicant, or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
STEP 2: DO YOU NEED A PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISA?
If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you need your Permanent Resident Visa and it should be affixed in your passport, even if you already have a valid Canadian temporary resident visa.
You are required to submit the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that the passport(s) you are submitting is valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit the passport even if you are a permanent resident of the U.S.A AND hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada.
If you hold passport(s) from countries whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or hold passport(s)/travel document(s) issued by the United States, you DO NOT need a Permanent Resident Visa to be affixed in your passport. Please do not send your original passport(s). You are required to submit one photocopy of the photo page and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Please ensure that your passport(s) for which you will submit a photocopy is valid for at least 6 months.

Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must submit a regular passport.***

same...i got AOR Dec 11 and nothing since Medicals..what country are you applying from? my spouse is in pakistan
This is PPR, congrats. Please provide your details as well as number of applicants.
Hi guys. Could someone please help me. I had called IRCC two days back for delay in my application processing. My AOR is 7th December 2018. The raise raised a query and I received the following mail today:
Good day,
Please be informed that your application is currently in queue for review by an officer. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with a date on which your file will be reviewed.
Please be assured that you will be contacted immediately should further information be required or regarding the next steps in your file.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
This mail also had a trail mail which I think was forwarded by the agent whom I had called to the concerned department and the mail stated:
The last BF/due date for this client's application was 2019/04/01. The client is asking for an update on their file since no action was taken and delays have passed. Could you please verify?
Could someone please tell me what BF/due date is?
