Hey all. I applied in late 2019 and after painful waiting I got my RFV on May 9th and i have sent the necessary docs and passport to the visa office. Does RFV mail means my copr has been approved? I understand that to become a PR we have to actually land in Canada. Sorry my disaster thinking brain is stressing me out.
I got an update via mail from VFS that the decision envolope has been courier to my address after processing.
E: My ITA was Nov 2020, AOR was JAN 2021, Remed was April 16th.

Exactly! My bosses son studied Kinesiology (I don't know why all the youngsters are going for this dumb course, I know a few of them). After 6 years of job hunting, he is now planting trees for the govt. Sad.
I think its a North American thing. My Boss's son studied Sports Management and has been working in Star Bucks for the last 1 year. My boss is an Engineer and he let his son ruin his career.

Congratulations.
Believe it or not, your CoPR has been issued and you are now PR - at least you will be once you land :).

So I'm one of those here who received ADRs recently, completed them, and now some time has gone by without any other movement. I had requested GCMS notes from the CBSA back in January, and finally received them yesterday. The notes are dated as of May 13, 2022.

My file had laid dormant for a long time until March 11. On that date I received a Sch A ADR. On March 21, I can tell from other parts of my notes that Officer AB14712 went through a bunch of my file and appears to have requested a new PCC (FBI report) and re-med. I turned around the FBI report 3 days later, and IRCC acknowledged receiving and passing my re-med on April 5 (although it's not shown on this page, it is shown on the medical specific page of the GCMS notes). And then it appears they gave themselves an additional 30 day internal deadline... and have blown past that one as well?

The waiting continues!

Absolutely pathetic. For what it's worth I'm waiting with you bro

I am mentally checked out. I don't even feel like ordering notes. Passed med, submitted my ADR and ready to wait for another year, just because IRCC. Rules are made for us, not for them.
Same bro same. Don't even know why they asked for adrs and remeds...I was already mentally prepared to wait till 2023 until these came through

This means Security has started. It could be already completed or still underway. They don't update that field after completion.
Can security which is more serious as this is done multilaterally by the five-eye countries than criminality (which I'm guessing is only domestic crime) pass before Criminality...I doubt. I hope it is though

IRCC wants to recycle old applications to keep the average processing time long and keep their backlog nice and fat.

“I believe the government must answer for this 2 million backlog. When I was national Chair of the Canadian Bar Association Immigration Section during the pandemic, I attended many liaison meetings and asked about delays given officers were unable to attend at processing centers to work on paper-based files and given visa offices were operating with skeleton staff due to the virus. I finally asked a rather impolite question which was simply about how many officers were actually working and if they were finding solutions so officers could work from home. I remember getting a vague answer about how immigration officers were part of the federal public service and so questions should be directed outside the Department. But then it was revealed that 80% of staff were on leave at the major processing centers for extended periods.”

I don't know either. Technically speaking, asking for ADRs and remed means that the file should be finalized within a reasonable time. Otherwise, there will be another remed. request, and I don't think I will go for it. Funny, when I went to see a doc for my remed, he is like: "Oh, you still here?". That hurt, cuz I realized that I paused my life for 16+ months and my life was filled with stress and anxiety for the last 16+ months. Even ADR I got just showed that the agent didn't look at my file at all and just generated a random one; otherwise, he would have known not to ask my US PCC, since I have not been to the USA since 2014, and thus, according the their own website, my PCC should still be valid. He just went an easy route and asked for a generic PCC for all the countries I have lived since I was 18.
