Honestly this is not fair! Or even acceptable from a governmental entity managing such an important immigration stream in Canada.
By respect, professionalism and ethically, they need at least to release an update or a notice of explanation for this enormous delay in application process.
People are here investing their time, money and putting their entire lives on stand-by in order to honor this agreement in principle with the Ontario Express Entry Streams authorities, that we intentionally and deliberately chosen to apply for ( and not to other provinces) based on specific terms and conditions supposed to be respected by both parties!
This is not out of lack of patience or else, it's the fact that the result of this delay will only jeopardize our whole immigration project.
(DD validity issue, CRS points issues upon age progress, tests validity, inland statut validity...)
Waiting without limits or vision is absurde.
