Oh, sounds like they’re back from their Christmas break! *picks up the microphone* this is your captain speaking - brace, brace, brace! On a serious note, if anyone hears back for their TC app, mind updating the thread? Quite curious to see when they’ll get back to us.

Best of luck guys!
I applied for TC too and my app is still "on hold".

I also applied for the Direct TC and mine also says the same.
Does your Candidate Review Box has a tick mark to it? And
What was your WG percentile?
Yup it has the tick, don't think this means anything though as I had the same for the Winter VS and still got rejected. I don't know my WG percentile for the direct TC but for the Winter VS i got the 98th with 38/40. Best of luck!
