I understand exactly how you feel, but believe me, in the end, just live your normal life and don't give too much importance to the process; don't let the process affect your mood and your everyday life. I know the frustration you might feel.
Maybe our story might comfort you... We applied on August 12, 2015. I ordered GCMS notes in November 2016, then again in early March 2017. On these March (8th) 2017 notes, it says the my eligibility as a sponsor isn't started yet (closing on 19 months after application); my wife's eligibility (PA) was not started... Only 12 days after these notes, on March 20th, we got SA and AIP, then the next day, DM. So what I'm trying to say here is, it does not matter that they haven't started yet according to the notes; whenever they will do, you will likely be processed within few days.
I saw most of Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec 2015 landing before our eligibility was assessed. I started to see 2016 applicants being processed. I started to really feel mad and angry about the unfairness of the process and then Profiler calmed me down, there are more important things to care about. I know it's easier said than done, but really my wife is here, living a quite normal life. We all want to have the process finished as soon as possible; but let's care more about our beloved ones than about IRCC processes!
