i still haven't received a single correspondence from ircc after i was told my files has cleared all stages as on 28th June. No portal email, no change in profile. Makes me wonder if i was being lied to by ircc contact centre...
Yea order gcms. Ive seen cases where ppl wait up to two months or more from all stages passed to portal email. It depends on when they look at the file again. Seems our vancouver vo works in batches and does updates for many at once

Hi Bhavleen Have you got any update from IRCC i think your eligibility passed recently so is the file moved to any other VO or still in Vancouver

Hi Suma! I have not received anything from IRCC after my conversation with the agent last week. I feel they have slowed down again. :(

My AOR is Feb 1st and they started working on my file last week. So this is normal if your file is at Vancouver VO. They will start working on your file in the 6th month
I'm so sad, my AOR is Feb 2nd and nothing has been worked on since Feb 26th. I ordered GCMS notes and everything is still the same as before. I called IRCC yesterday and nothing updated. Coming up to 6 month mark on Aug 2nd.

i know this sucks, theres people from nov, and dec (me) still waiting too. vancouver vo does not seem to catch a break-- first with heavy lockdowns and now with crazy wildfires affecting the province too

I know, it's even more disheartening for people before me! I don't know how you don't get angry when you call on the phone. I thought CEC inland applicants were being prioritized. I do not have a complex case.

In my gcms notes it shows due date as 1 aug.. VO is Vancouver and AOR is 28 jan 2021. Does it mean they will transfer file to another VO after 1st aug?

due date just means the date that your file should be looked into again (or max date if it hasnt been looked into yet) -- doesnt mean they will though. In my case, my due date was the same date that my eligibility seems to have passed and i got an rcmp request (they knew since jan, but had forgotten to send it, so it got sent on that due date instead). ive been stuck since, and no new due date.

I called the IRCC again today to see what’s going on. He advised that my file was moved to Etiobicoke on July 5th and they have been working on it not Vancouver VO. My security is in progress as well now!
