Hi all! I submitted my application by mail on march 17th 2022. Many people I know submitted around December/January and received the biometric and medical email after 60-90 days. Its been 4 months for me and absolutely nothinggg. I called and have my temporary file number and all. Is it because of the the month I submitted it? Do the IRCC officers have moments where they just do not work on applications, anyone know? I hate this waiting game :(

Same here ! I have only the temporary application # by which I can not even link my application online. My guess, most March, 2022 applicants have same situation. Seems case processing officers went on a vacation for indefinite period...!!

Applied March 30. Wife from United States. Applied Online Outland . Just got letter today saying

"Please note your application has been rejected for the following reason:
USE OF REPRESENTATIVE (IMM 5476)
Your application package is being returned to you because it has been identified that you may be using a representative and/or have not properly completed the required Use of Representative (IMM 5476) form."

I have copy of application that submitted and this form was fully filled out and signed. I used the latest form downloaded the day I submitted the application.

The guide even does say if your the spouse and want updates, etc. you need to fill this form out. The letter reads like a spouse can't be a representative.

Very confused.
Thanks.
Hi. What is your latest update on that

There seems to be something odd going on with paper applications submitted in the middle of March (e.g. March 10 - 17). Unfortunately we can only speculate. Either the case officer is way behind on their files or is on some sort of indefinite leave. I'm only hoping it's nothing more sinister like all the applications from those days being lost in some corner of their office, accidentally disposed of, etc.

I agree. I submitted my application on March 22 and while it was progressing quickly at first, I have been waiting since May 10th for any update.

I passed 4 months without any AOR or any communication. You can ask for temporary application # only by calling them if it is entered in IRCC database.

Hey man, did they update your eligibility? Also if you don't mind is Beirut where your spouse is?
