Hope everyone is staying safe. Its now mid april, my application has not moved since October. Last update on my ECAS was that they send me correspondent in regards to background check. Went outside the country for few months. Back in December i had to request a transfer of my docs from Vancouver to Toronto and they confirmed the transfer was successful and received in the Scarborough office. I came back end of February in Canada (Toronto). Called CIC around early March (luckily before they closed and got an update) and i was told that my background check cleared fine and that my application will move forward to the next stage which is writing the exam. But up to now, i have not heard anything! Is anyone in the same boat??? I guess mine will surely extend the 1 year time line.
Hi Vonsterfit
I think many of us here are in the same boat with myself included having no updates since last update/notification of processing start and then nothing
Mine is AOR 28th of Aug 2019 & start of processing on 9th of October 2019. My application is in Hamilton office and still waiting for the test invite through Email or Ecas
According to the feedback of our colleagues here the processing timeframe of 12 months counts from the date of reciept of the application. This implies that in normal conditions (excluding COVID-19 effect) for all of us here as June 2019 applicants this processing time frame should end by may/june 2020 and we should be getting test invites before this date . However with the current conditions for sure it will extend longer and i think we will have to lower our expectations unfortunately
The main question is : with the ongoing lockdown are they at least processing & screening the applications behind close doors to keep the older backlog moving without conducting tests/oath ceremonies or is everything simply put at halt ?
