I had applied for ICT under Specialized Knowledge for myself, a Open Work Permit for my spouse and a Study Permit for my kindergarten daughter from Chennai, India, and currently the status is "application in process at VAC, Bangalore"

Here are my timelines

07-dec-2019 - Medicals done
31-dec-2019 - Biometrics and Submitted document @ VFS Chennai along with passport

Yet Awaiting response

Any leads on processing time?

I have read through other forums as well on canadavisa.com, looks like ICT processing delays has started by the end of Septembr 2019. Application previous to this, like applicants on this thread got ICT processed in 2 to 5 weeks. And now its 7 to 9 months processing, I am sitting on 5 months nw, upfront medical and biometrics done. Just waiting.........

In VFS portal
(1) Gave biometrics and paper filed in VFS Center Chennai on 31-dec-2019
(2) Received tracking# on 1-jan-2020
(3) Have options to track status with tracking# and DOB under https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/india/track-your-application.html
(4) The status message once I enter, shows "application in process at Visa application center, Bangalore"
Ok.

I did give biometrics in VAC Hyderabad, but how to get tracking id ? My application filled directly on CIC site and there it's not showing any such details :(

That's hard to believe. If that's true, why my stupid service team says "other who applied later on Nov 25th" are getting approvals.?

Something fishy..
