"BS C-19 answer" : Yes. C-19 has impacted in some way but for CIC this has been a lot to blame than its actual impact. I asked my MP to request a status update, expedite, etc but the same answer, nothing much has done.I was in the same situation, requested GCMS notes and learned that nothing was done since Jan 6th. I contacted my local MP office an they requested info on my behalf. They replied with BS C-19 answer and in 1 month I got Biometrics request, medical request and Decision made on sponsor app.
I think we just should wait.....sounds terrible but...
