I can assure you that the Hamilton office is indeed working and moving. However it looks like the 2019 and 2020 applications are unfortunately part of a backlog in Hamilton. I applied in 2021 April and I hope they are trying to hit the 1 year SLA with the 2021 applicants at the Hamilton office.
My timeline:-
I just want to add that I did not receive a request for finger prints nor did my test invitation ask for any passport copies. I don't know if they will ask in the future though. So far so good. Keeping fingers crossed!
