Oct 18th would be 10 months for my application. Not sure if I should wait until then to request case update or not.

What are you planning to do, apart from waiting?

How should I request this information? Should I select CSBA, GCMS, or submit a complete request? Thank you in advance!

Oct 18th would be 10 months for my application. Not sure if I should wait until then to request case update or not.

What are you planning to do, apart from waiting?

On my notes, there's a due date written for the LPP as 2026/01/01. I am assuming that means nothing but some sort of a reminder for the case officer to look into my file. In the meantime, I was thinking of sending a mandamus to have IRCC pick up their slack, but they keep extending processing times.
I think waiting is the best thing to do right now. What are you thinking? BTW, does your's also say Grant Review Ready PM03?

CBSA got me the same notes IRCC would but it only took them 10 days to process, so I would submit an ATIP with CBSA requesting notes on your Citizenship application.

Go to ATIP (https://atip-aiprp.tbs-sct.gc.ca/) and generate a request with CBSA. I requested them to provide any security clearance related updates to my Citizenship application, and it actually pulled in more information (which is usually redacted from IRCC notes) such as Security Clearance details and status along with the whole set of notes.

Hi, within 10-11 months they are bound to send us outcome, or it is up to them. I talked with them as usual answer in process, don't know what to do? any suggestions.

There is no hard rule for IRCC to process any application within the processing time displayed. The processing time displayed is based on how long it takes and not how long the IRCC has to process. So in case the file is deemed non-routine (which is the case for me), IRCC will almost certainly not process my file as per the ongoing processing timelines.

There is a way for one to apply a mandamus to the courts to have IRCC take any necessary action on my file in case the file has been sitting with no updates for a long time. This is a legal proceeding, but I have heard that the responses from IRCC could very well be that "the file is under routine processing".

Inside my notes, they have due date as end of December 2025

Agree. They use the word "typically" or "normally". There's no hard rule of x amount of processing time like you mentioned. They can take their own sweet time(sour for us)
