Processing times estimates on CIC website are a joke. They’re also not responsible for anything so just wait.. 6 months.. 8 months.. a year. They don’t give a hoot to travel plans and special occasions either.

Any suggestions how to check the status of application?
 
Any suggestions how to check the status of application?

Did you apply through an agent or directly online? If through agent follow up with them and ask them for the current status of your application. If direct you would have already checked online for your biometric request and completion when you submitted application online. Use the same website and user credentials to check what is the current status. CIC website is the only place you can check your status, no other way.
