Well, it gets frustrating now. My medicals expired in late September. I have received a total of 4 ghost updates in October/early November timeframe, and since then everything has stalled. I am still in the US, so I can cross the border and land as a FSW-O, but I have no idea when it's going to happen. It's very stressful and the wait is killing me - especially when I see fellow applicants I gave my biometrics with a year ago posting pics from Toronto and the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I am also on H1B, and my family is supposed to be on H4, but because of USCIS delays they still haven't got their biometrics appointment - so they're in a legal limbo.
I am hopeful to hear back by Feb 26th - it will be a full year since I received an ADR from IRCC.
As per the latest webform, my eligibility is passed, background is valid (has been in progress) since the ADR. So I hope for the light in the end of the tunnel, but can't be sure about anything...
