I got an update saying:
Additional information required: Final notice
We sent you a final letter or email requesting additional information. Check the letter or email we sent for more details.

I have not received any email or letter. Any advise how I can find out what is needed?

Thanks in advance
Hi, I got the same request for "additional information" on Feb 16, but I have yet to receive any email or mail. May I know how you handled that in your case? Did you just keep waiting or reach out to IRCC? Thank you.

Submitted my application in January 2022 with an AOR of march 3rd. I haven't had any updates except the ghost update on dec 16, 2022. Everything still shows "in progress". Is anyone else in the same boat?
