Ah! I just got my approval email!!!
Applied FLR(M) May 18, Submitted docs in July, asked to resubmit Part 2 of declarations a couple weeks later, IDV App on Aug 27, called help desk for it being out of service standard last Wednesday. Now to wait for the BRP but this is such a relief.
I hope this means everyone else still waiting from early in the pandemic will have theirs this week or next!
