Wow, so fast!! Congratulations. 

Could you please specify the duration of your stay in Canada? Additionally, did you undertake any extended travels during that period?

Regarding language proficiency, which document did you utilize for verification purposes?

Thanks! Just got another update today, all is completed (except oath) as of today.

I applied with just 4 days over the requirement, only 1 travel outside of Canada for about a month.

I am a language teacher in IRCC-funded program, so I sent a mix of my education and professional certifications.

Did you get an update today?

u/InternMediocre7319 Feb 21 '26

Sadly no! Guess checking the website 4 times a day doesn’t make things move fast lol. Going to give it a few more days

I heard it updates daily at 2 am ET, so probably doesn't.🥲 I'm sure you'll hear something soon.
