I agree with you. I am resident of AB and my application has been received by CIC on June 26, 2019. The status indicates "In-Process" under sponsor and applicant with a note that processing started Nov 20, 2020. I have not received any medical request or biometrics while I do see some applicants from other provinces with submission dates around June 26th have already received medical checkup requests or even further progress.After spending long time researching everyone's applications in the excel file, I have to admit Albertan's applications are slowest. Recently, ON and BC made lots of progress. However, AB seems not started yet.
