Latest update on processing by IRCC: This video provides weekly update on official processing timeline as updated by IRCC on their website every week. As per IRCC website, “In the past 3 months, the majority (80%) of the applications we’re finalizing were received during this period.” If this date range doesn’t change for a while, then IRCC is still processing applications and finalizing older applications that were complex or missing documents.

Processing is still sluggish with timeline moving backward for Spousal (outside Canada) and Canadian Experience Class. Also, timeline for most of other applications is still the same as compared to last week. You should understand following things, if you are watching this video:

Previous update

Your application is complex than what normally IRCC was expecting, but not to worry IRCC may contact you to clear that complexity. So, expect delays.
You should check your GC key or official email ID for update on processing.
IRCC has also mentioned that there is delay in processing due to COVID-19 and they are prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions.
Some people may also be victim of fraud, so ask your consultant for UCI number or proof that they actually applied for your visa.
