The same thing I have been told, everything is passed and we are just waiting for final approval.. hoping to see APPROVED in place of SUBMITTED soon.
Honestly this looks like political issue than clerical. Someone posted a
twitter URL, a tweet about how immigration program is on halt by Raquel Dancho. The same thing happened when Liberals took over (back in 2015 I guess), but when Trudeau government took over. As this government is in minority, such issues could arise, and is happening.
Bio-metric seems to be legit, as we need to maintain social distancing, I hope that starts back soon. But as many people have cleared all the stages of their profile and are just waiting for final decision, definitely looks political to me.
