Since PGP processing seems to be paused for now (my case had no progress for a year now); I am wondering if anyone here applied for a visitor visa for their parents while waiting. Any idea on the waiting time for that?

Just received an email from IRCC with:
Update on IRCC processing capacity for your Family Class – Parents and Grandparents application
Due to the impacts of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we’re experiencing longer than usual processing delays. Rest assured, we are still actively processing your Family Class – Parents and Grandparents application, but it will take longer than usual to get back to you....

Same as well. Like, oh thanks, CIC for telling us something we already know. The fact that they are NOT even trying to put more resources in finalizing the backlogs is absurd.

Received one too. This is just another example of the ministry's incompetence. How can they be starting to process the 2020 applications before completing the 2019 ones.

Sad to see that they are still making COVID19 as an excuse after almost 1 year of remote working. no empathy or compassion at all :(
Wish they clear the backlog and help us reunite with our families soon!!
