Hello,

I had applied along with my spouse and children to the home support worker pilot program. I am outside of Canada. Everything got submitted in November 1, 2021.
-Biometrics have been done
-Medical has been done
-All other requested forms have been submitted
When I call IRCC they say that it is under review. My employer has been pushing through the local MP office but so far no progress.
Anyone in the same situation? How much longer will it take? The processing is just so long.

So IRCC will take the full 31 months to process?
It may or could be sooner. All I am trying to tell you is that you are within normal processing times. If you applied in November 2021 then you should get final response (if additional document is not required) some time in June.
 
The processing time for an open work permit through the pilot is 12 months. With sufficient work experience, the IRCC intends to process the application in at least 6-months.

Yes that is what I thought too when I had applied and now I’m at 25 months and still waiting.
it was a paper application so I can’t even check a status online

Where does it say that?

In 2021, when I applied that was the processing time and procedure.
 
Is it longer if you have dependents?
I can see from the other threads that most people already got the approval letter
