This is the last update I received from CIC, and my online GCKEY account hasn't changed since. Here is what it says...

Take note of all the little pieces of extra information in the margins and photo captions of Discover Canada. It would be worth making sure you know who all the people in the photos are, and why they are of significance to Canada's history.

so sounds like they got a set time or production line on applications, and would not process an application even if it's ready until "set" time..?
