They asked you for a police certificate after a decision was made on your application? This is weird
Hi. How do you know that they started processing jan, feb 2021 applications this month?
I applied on Jan 29th 2021, received Acknowledgment of Receipt in April but nothing since then. I wonder when they will start processing mine.
I know based on the posts from Jan applicants here in the forum.. have you tried checking your status online using your UCI?

Sorry, should I write “generic” in the box for question number 12 of the online application for police certificate, after the check boxes? Thanks.
the processing of your application should start soon based on the posts in the forum. You can post here asking who has the same timeline as yours so you can compare.
I tried checking online again and now it says the processing started on September 9th and medicals received. I don’t know how they received medicals. I didn’t send it. What should I check on this application portal?
As protected person We do medical when we first do refugee claim if u didnt travel outside Canada that’s valid for two years

Actually I did biometric in 2018 before coming to Canada! I don't know why should I repay biometric fee again. I Paid this fee anyway and sent the receipt by Webform to them on on 2021/07/16.
2- Yesterday, after 2 months I got these email to provide them the payment receipt! which I sent them before. It utterly make me mad and disappointed because I did it 3 month ago. I sent the requested documents again last night for the second time!
This is the email I got:

3- I have tried many times to link my application to gckey, but i got this message every time that they could not find my application. I provide the correct information but have no success yet. I talked to an IRCC agent, he told me i have not any lawyer o representative on my application and there are many of us that could not link application to gckey!
Now I want to know, is it a part of normal processing? Why should I pay biometric fee again? is this biometric fee for something like PCC/Background check or etc.? or is this fee for my abroad dependent?
Did you guys pay biometric fee again?
Are there anyone with same experience on linking application to gckey account?
Your kind assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
