I see. My case has become one of the worst. Ok, to answer your question, I would say neither. Technically, they are still processing it. However, the second CSBA note says that the last time they touched my file was in July 2021. So, it's hard to call "processing." Pay attention though, lots of things depend on the specific visa office. Mine is Warsaw VO, I believe, one of the worst. Even before the war and prioritization of Ukrainian refugees, I had been waitting for 1 year. Now they don't even answer my webforms. The last webform I applied for (at the beginning of February) is still unanswered.I don’t understand, did you get a refusal or is IRCC still processing your application? Which one? Please, I want to know the worst to expect.
I don't know your situation. However, I can share what I realized. As I said, it all depends on the visa office. Search this forum to find your visa office waiting group. For example, if you find the Warsaw VO theme, you will see it over 600+ pages long, which means it's not okay. Ankara or Rome VOs don't have such groups. That, of course, isn't complete proof that they are normal VOs. You need to go deeper, join their Whats App chat and ask them about the general situation. I myself plan to move to Cyprus to reapply from there since it's not so hard to get temporal residence as long as you have money.
