Oh I remember you from when we applied for wp back in 2020. Congrats buddy! Mind sharing the visa office, I bet it’s not Montreal or Etobicoke
It was Ottawa. Well it's funny because three days later I got atip notes back from IRCC which are clearly quite a bit out of date... those notes were requested in September 2021. Those notes still still say eligibility review required, security not started and VO Ottawa. But the portal email I got was from Vancouver. Actually the new atip note format doesn't show the date the records were retrieved which is somewhat relevant.
I had consulted an immigration attorney in early February for mandamus but he recommended waiting because my biometrics were not taken until Dec 2020 and it hadn't been 18 months since then. Well I guess it's a good thing I waited...
Oh also a webform submission from Jan 19 got a reply on Feb 2 with "The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied." if that bit of information helps anyone.
