I totally hear what you're saying. Last year, first application : AOR July 30, 2019. I ordered my GCMS notes on Dec 8, 2019 to see what was going on. Finally got them on April 9, 2020. My application was rejected in the meantime (quite late), while I probably could have fixed the problem if I had them earlier... Who knows.
Second application, everything passed. But again, like I said in #3,017 and #3,738, due to Covid, I've been stuck for 4 months already, in a country that is not my usual CoR. So right now, I'm not only dealing with Immigration Canada but also with Immigration NZ, to make sure everything is in order.
Anyways, IRCC told me that my LVO was in my home country, that I should let them know about my situation and update my contact details / address. What I did awhile ago. LVO never replied. So I raised a webform 2 weeks ago to IRCC. They didn't say anything about where my application could be now or about the stage, just that it was updated with the information I gave. So I wonder : where it is now? And can a new LVO look at my application differently since no final decision was made earlier? And so, is rejection still possible?
I don't want my file to be a burden. But Covid is impacting everybody, even if it's not always obvious in our posts. Also, I was lucky enough to get an ITA again and I don't want to miss this second chance. And Immigration NZ is easier to contact and discuss with, so it makes the lack of information from Immigration Canada even worse.
Wishing all the best to everybody and take care.
