Due to the pandemic, after getting married, I came to Canada with my husband who is a Canadian PR, in Dec 2020, on a Visitor Visa, while my FSW-O PR application was in process, under the impression that the current processing timelines for Federal Skilled Worker Programmes range from 5-6 months, hoping that I will receive my PR before my visitor visa status expires.
I immediately informed IRCC about the change in my current address, with the hope that my file would be processed in due time, considering I'm already in Canada, exempt from travel restrictions.
Now, it has been almost 1 year since i've been in Canada, waiting for my permanent residence, but no progress has been made on my file.
I’ve been repeatedly calling IRCC from the past 8 months and every time I’m unable to get a helpful response from them.
They even confirmed on call that all parameters of my file, that is eligibility, criminality, medical, information sharing has passed, but final decision is pending due to border restrictions. This has further been confirmed in the gcms notes.
