NOC = 5131 Are you still waiting, or already received?

Hi, thanks for that... No request for additional docs. My original app was very thorough, may have helped...

Received Confirmation of Permanent Residency today. I'm now asked to submit passport and photos. They also want to include receipt of Right of Permanent Residence Fee. I’m pretty sure I paid this at the beginning along with the application fee. The CIC receipt doesn’t have any detail on it...

Huge congrats Sam...keep us posted. I submitted my initial application a month before yours, and did biometrics a month after you, so hopefully not too far behind! Good luck

South Africa - Pretoria

I just see a few examples here of peeps getting CoPR roughly a month after the pre arrival letter. Canadawill is one, and a couple others. Not holding my breath, will keep you posted

Hi all, An update: Just received a medical request and pre-arrival letter. To recap: Submitted: 2020/10/19 Received AOR: 2021/01/15 Received Biometrics request: 2023/03/23 Submitted Biometrics: 2023/03/27 Medical Request and pre-arrival letter: 2024/04/20 I've booked the medical for next...

PS - I managed to link it. FYI for other people trying - I had tried this before and had no joy. There are 4/5 different verification options. It didn't work with any of them except for the one that was "PASSPORT + UCI". So if it doesn't work, try them all! Also, I checked my application. It...

Thanks so much! I thought I'd done that but will have another look. So about another year to go, hopefully. I actually submitted an application way back in 2007, for FSW, and they just threw out all applications to clear the backlog 4/5 years later. This is my second rodeo. Holding thumbs.

Update from my side: Submitted: 2020/10/19 Received AOR: 2021/01/15 Received Biometrics request: 2023/03/23 Submitted Biometrics: 2023/03/27 So does this mean that my application is only *starting* processing now? It's not clear from the correspondence. Also, I can't seem to get access to...

Not 100% sure, but I think so yes. Acknowledgememt of Receipt of the application, but they haven't started processing them yet. It's some progress at least...

I received the same email as Sweelinck, and we submitted around the same time. Mine was sent on 27 October 2020...

I used E2Language which was very good. You do need to prepare if you want maximum points, but I found IELTS more straightforward than the Pearson (Aussie) test. 
Watch the writing section - there are very specific formats and terms for letter writing that they want to see. And you have a right...

Long-time lurker on these forums, but I finally sent off my application today. It's been delayed since April this year, as the courier services stopped running and my police clearance certificate was delayed as well. I didn't use a lawyer, but tried to be as thorough as possible. And now we...
