So, I got this response from IRCC through an MP.
Looking at that, it's easy to say that the new documents I sent caused this delay. It's a lesson to everyother applicants to be mindful of how to send documents especially a Replacement Documents. If possible, don't send a Replacement Documents except if you are asked to do so by VO.

Omo my story long oo! But i'll just go straight to the point.

First time applicant, self sponsored although I finished with a first class in economics, I have a 10yr study gap so I wasn't sure how that played out. Going for Masters in Economics at UNB. I'm employed and also have a side business I registered last year. Previous travel to US and Turkey. I wrote GRE, applied and got admission myself but when it came to visa application my liver failed me. That was where Frank (God bless his soul) came to my rescue. Timeline:

Applied 22nd Apr
Vfs biometric 26th Apr
Eligibility & background check started 4th May (may have been earlier but after applying I didn't check the portal until this date)
Upfront Medical done 4th May
Medical E-Slip uploaded 6th May
Biometrics Updated 6th May (I had to email them a reminder)
Medical Passed 7th May
Ghost update 4th June
Sent renewed passport & unconditional acceptance letter via webform 8th June
Agreement prayer with husband when I noticed April applicants getting their decisions 16th June
Ghost update 16th June
BVL & PPR 21st June

Regarding ghost updates, I may have had more but I only check my portal once or max twice a week on average so I can't really say. Also I didn't pay school fees o, not even deposit. The Ijebu in me didn't let me part with my money before visa approval also my school didn't make it compulsory.

Document submitted
Transcripts
SOP
GRE
IELTS
MBS & regular account statement (First bank doesn't have MBS so I just submitted the regular statement and included introduction letter from the bank)
WAEC Certificate
Degree certificate
Employment letter
Introduction letter from employer
Study leave approval letter
Consent letter from my husband
We both indicated that my mum will be taking care of my kids in my absence
Husband's employment letter and work related documents
ID's of my parents and siblings

Hmm the waiting wasn't funny o especially when I see the type of document people submit here, at some point I felt I may not have submitted enough. I just told myself "las las if dem deny my application i'll just focus on my business''. But alas! God did it. Also special thanks to @Lekiboboe his posts really guided me when I was searching for graduate programs.

To all those still waiting, I wish you the very best, God willing it will end the praise.

signing out.

So sorry about this. You will celebrate sooner than you expect. Amen

If you are fully vaccinated, book Lufthansa/AirCanada. (Lagos to Frankfurt to Montreal to Toronto).

To reduce the cost further, book through an international flight booking platform, it was about 923 USD a week ago, but you have to pay with USD credit card.

Avoid flights that pass through USA if you don't have US visas.

I was also advised to avoid flights with 2 layovers within Europe (There is one with layover in Frankfurt and Zurich). I don't know why, so you should make further inquiries.

I was sceptical about the Montreal to Frankfurt route too until I made inquiries and was told there shouldn't be a problem if fully vaccinated and exempted to quarantine at Montreal.
