i think they are in total panic at IRCC at the moment....so far they haven't requested a thing in my case.
We are on 8th month, Sydney still , and nothing asked , nothing has moved. (Since April 2019) and it happened to tons of ppl.... since April almost nothing has moved , is not normal no matter what they say when you call.
It def won't be finished by 12 months, and we also have to pass from provincial undertake in quebec CSQ (45-60 days), which i can't even send a thing at the moment waiting for this letter of transfer and invite.
