What is your AOR? the letter that you got on your account confirming that they received their online application. ITA is irrelative to the 6 months period.

Also, it depends on the complexity of your case. Have you passed your medicals yet?

Then you might be under security check. order GCMS notes or call IRCC on +1 (613) 944-4000 and ask them detailed questions about the reasons for delays.

P.S. I am on the same boat it has been 9 months, I called them I was informed that I cleared all but am under security check.

When you call that number (after 9:00 AM Ottawa time) there will be many options that you have to listen carefully and choose what you need. Most of the times immigration, IRCC, and PR applications will be choice no.1.
Almost at the end, you will be asked what is your type of application and they will give you three choices depending on the first letter of your application number. After that, you will enter your application number and the machine will repeat exactly what you can already see on your cic account. After that, there is a choice to be connected to an agent wait for it and choose it.

Note that you will have to wait mostly more than 30 minutes so use hangouts to call. Once the agent picks up he will verify your identity with the following questions:
- Application No.
- Date of Birth
- Nationality
- Country of residence
- Email
- Phone number
- Full current address

After that, he will check your application and return to you with some details, hopefully, more than what you see on your account. Good luck!
