October 2021 applicants (SDS) still waiting for decision, what can we do?

[casit]

I applied on October 1st 2021 SDS, gave biometrics on October 4th, medical updated and eligibility review started on November 19th but there has been no update after that. It's going to be 5 months since I applied.

I raised a webform in January and they responded with the usual covid response and that they will give a decision as soon as possible. But it has been almost 2 months since I raised the webform and there hasn't been any update.

Anybody in the same situation? What else can I do? Should I order GCMS?

There are many in your boat. iRCC is extremely backlogged. Most students are taking deferment.

But most new applicants are receiving their PPRs within a few days of applying.
