Hello every one , I have applied for PR on August 1st ,2019 ,through my consultant, but did not hear any thing for 17 months. So I did inquiry through web form and applied for GCMS notes and received them both last December. The web form reply from IRCC says my application is waiting to be processed and my payment receipt is invalid which was done through my consultant . At the same time I discovered in GCMS notes that the IRCC asked my consultant for a valid receipt in January 2020 ( he did not tell me about it) and his employees sent another one . But I found out in the GCMS notes it was invalid too . So I went back to consultant office and paid again online through my credit card. My question is : Does the 17 months passed on my application waiting to be processed ( because of invalid receipt-consultant mistake) since August 1st,2019 counted or not ? anyone have experience in this case ? Thanks.
