Still waiting for DM (PA).
Good to know that sometimes the appeals for excessive demand are sometimes successful. Minister Ahmed Hussen said he would be looking into those types of cases and consulting with each province.
He will be in Toronto and will be part of an Immigration Town Hall on Wednesday evening from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at Scarborough Civic Centre. Apparently he will provide an update on recent immigration initiatives, including the passage of Bill C-6 and reductions in processing times for spousal sponsorship, and take questions from attendees.
Edited: I just got through to IRCC through Citizenship line and call center person said still doing security and nothing needed from us. Same as last couple of weeks when we checked.
Also finally got a response to the technical glitch requesting additional documents via e-mail last week and told was an error and nothing needed.
Keep in mind, he inherited a ship that was broken. It "worked" in the past, under lower levels. Unfortunately, it didn't get the attention it needed until it was too late. This was also the trouble John McCallum had.
The Live-In Caregiver, and TFW programs are not the same as the spousal program. Under the spousal program, applicants are exempted from excessive demand. Additionally, they can have (and usually do) have specialists weigh in on how the person may "weigh" on the health care system. There is a threshold that they set, and as long as you are not above that, it's acceptable.
Re: Security Check: huh. well I am sorry it's taking this long. I am not surprised, given the strain the refugees who are crossing illegally are placing on the system. Sadly, that's the result
