I was on the March outland application sheet and also just see Indian applications on it now. What gives? Can it be restored accurately?

I have not heard ANYTHING back on my application sent in March. It's absolutely ridiculous they are not making progress. It's just paperwork and it's clearly "essential" work. There is not even any need for face-to-face interaction. Pathetic job by the Canadian government.

Agree 100%
In the least we Outland deserve an official statement about when processing is aimed at resuming so we have some idea and plan our future accordingly.
How long do we need to sit and wait like a woman waiting for a soldier boy letter from the front lines. 3,4,5,6 months? Years??.

The problem as I see it, they are most likely feeding us misinformation
i.e. We are still processing applications although slower.
They dont know we have tracker that gives us an idea of whats going on with dozens of people, and its obvious nothing is moving since mid March and its already June!

We need to start a petition for Outland.
We are all assuming our government is putting Outland as priority.
However, it seems we are sadly mistaken. This is normal human false hope- for example during WW2 most Jews in Germany assumed that the government humanity will not let them perish and they sat and waited....but it DID happen and 6 million perished.

Lesson? Never Assume anything and be proactive.
Yeah, same here... wth?
It’s probably the same schmuck who has been editing people’s information for weeks. Before this, someone kept changing my dates and county of origin. Really bizarre behaviour.

I agree. This is so unfair. We have to stay in our houses and we cant even have our spouses to live with.

I think this is a great idea!! Twitter is such a pervasive platform and gets a lot of attention. I personally don't have a Twitter account but if someone would like to take the lead, I will support this 100%

Ircc agents.
No. More likely a political partisan moderator of this forum who doesn’t understand how politics and the government work here in Canada. When lobbying, you use ALL the politicians, regardless of party affiliation, that hold key positions whether they are an elected government member or an opposition member. There’s no place for partisanship when lobbying, the goal is to make the government take action on what you want them to do so you use all the tools you have in the toolbox, including the opposition members of the government.

Hi everyone
I sent off my application in April (2020)
I’ve seen several comments about a tracker/spreadsheet and was wondering where to find that information
