For anyone wondering....
Our application was sent to LVO on March 2, 2020. We didn't receive any notification after that.
However, at the end of March I had realized that I had made a mistake and sent a webform. They replied in May saying, they had placed a copy of my email and webform in my file and that I did not need to send new form. They also mentioned that my file was there and waiting to be processed and that due to Covid19 they were slower.
So that confirmed to me that my file was there. I applied for GCMS notes on April 5 and recieved on May 8. It also showed that a email was placed in my file. Nothing else had happened
Today I sent email to london email address, inquiring about their processing times and tolday I recieved following email:
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, please note that Canadian missions in the United Kingdom are providing essential services only.
Your application is currently in transit and given the above restrictions, we are unable to confirm receipt of your application in London at the present time.
From what I understand, this is the generic reply to everyone who hasn't started processing yet. Obviously makes no sense since my application was recieved and they told me they placed my email and update into file for officer. So take anything said with a grain of salt.
