Even I have been saying the exact same thing. It's not important they accept my application but what's important is they take a decision soon. A simple accepted or refused is all that matters.

Very true...... Der decision would help us to live our life peacefully ........ At present life seems to be a suspense everyday.....

Brother, there are cases where people get cleared of security in a matter of hours. It all depends on various factors.

My assumption is based on her being closer to her estimated processing time and having passed eligibility.

Let's hope for the best. I'll be really happy if you're right. Hope I'm not under SS

Looks like Canadian media is actually covering the inefficiency of IRCC.

Wow. Hit's you right in the feels doesn't it. It really does feel like being held hostage because your life is at a stand still and you cant take any major life decisions.

Especially when most of these government agencies run with your tax money and you still are at a limbo on your status in the country. CEC people will know exactly how sucky that feeling is.

They really are grossly understaffed. They either need to increase their staff or majorly cut down on the amount of people being invited until they clear off all the back log. As selfish as it sounds, they really need to give priority to the people who have spent 100s of dollars in applications fees.

Unless you have extended travel history, political/military activities, Middle East background etc you will not be under SS

There is a tweet from IRCC today which says:

“Note: We will not respond to any questions sent on Thursday, May 23. Please hold your questions until Friday.”

Hi @SithLord ...is there a way to check that you’re in SS or not?

That article was on Sydney, Nova Scotia but it is definitely relatable to Ottawa and other VOs.

They're indeed understaffed and probably not efficient enough to handle so many cases.

And what does it mean...... I mean..... Are they going to issue some batches soon?

I agree! if they can't handle the load- invite less people

Order GCMS notes or call IRCC

I have 14 trips abroad including 6 to Turkey (one of them was 10 years ago, and five during the last year - tried to pass and finally passed PTE-A exam that is accepted in Australia), 1 to Egypt (9 years ago) and 7 to European countries. Hope it won't be a problem.

Friday.... As per ircc..... That would mean Saturday for Indian applicants ......
