If your PR application (here, PNP-based Express Entry) has gone quiet after biometrics with no visible movement for months, group members suggested two concrete next steps rather than just waiting:
- Submit an IRCC web form asking for a status update on your application. This is the standard channel for nudging a case that seems stalled beyond normal processing times.
- Call IRCC directly if the web form doesn't get a response, to ask about the specific stage your file is at.
- Order your GCMS notes. These are the internal case notes IRCC keeps on your file. Requesting them (via an Access to Information and Privacy request) can reveal exactly what's causing the delay — for example, a pending background or security check — that isn't visible from the public tracker.
The general takeaway: 'still under process' with no update isn't necessarily unusual, but if it's been many months past the stated processing time, a web form plus a GCMS notes request is the most concrete way applicants found to get visibility into what's actually happening.
