Hi Guys,

My timeline is in my signature. Despite receiving PAL, last week I received ADR for my CV and Military documents. My status in GCkey account still shows "Your documents have been uploaded". Does that mean that my application has been sent to Security Screening? When is the best time to order GCMS notes?

Receiving Pal in my view has nothing to do with the processing. The most important stages are the security cum background check, criminality, medical and eligibility. I know someone who got portal 1 last week and just received pal on Friday. Pal is more of an information sent out so one can avail themselves of in the event u receive approval.
I hope you get your good news soon!
 
Anyone received PR Card recently, what is the actual time after COPR? 33 days on the website but I want actual time they are taking.

Client ID number (UCI) Error 1: Either a client ID or an application number is required.

Application number Error 2: Either a client ID or an application number is required.

these error appears while submitted webform. i am applying for first time and do not have any of above.

Yes you can get TFN or application number through webform . Make sure you clearly write and be specific about what you are looking for in webform .
can i inquire through webform for allocation of TFN or AOR?

Yes you have to fill your UCI number if you don’t have application number. Just fill UCI . You can’t leave them blank .
 
Today, in the GCKey, I got 'Application Profile Updated', Under back ground check, it used to say: we are processing your background check but now it says 'Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.' I am confused, is this IP1 or IP2? and whats next?

For you, is it just "Processing >> In progress"? I thought you previously had N/A.. to know whether its IP1 or IP2, need to know BGC status changes from start. For me, it was like "Processing >> Not Applicable >> Processing" and then "ADR >> PAL >> DM"

Here is the flow from my timeline:

Right after getting AoR email, upon linking the application (to GCKEY), I saw that BGC indicated "We are processing your background check." So this might be FALSE IP2.

Real IP1 - I never saw my Background Check in "Your application is in progress". I used to login to check GCKEY everyday, 2~3 times a day (even on weekends). I might have skipped IP1 maybe coz I'm inland perhaps?? I may be some of those applicants who skip this stage.

NA2 - My BGC went "Not Application" - no email or GU. Some folks say its glitch and what not (as per IRCC call agent bla bla) - I don't believe it nor think it to be glitch. I think BG check when NA is like either IRCC waiting on CSIS & CBSA or both Or that info from both CSIS & CBSA has been received for applicant, VO is to further update application. or that I could be wrong, but "N/A" is certainly not glitch per say.. I was looking at very old post, like from 2018 and before, N/A means something something, everyone has their own version of story, some got GCMS notes before or just after this phase, and so they have their own say.

Real IP2 - Up logging into GCKEY, I noticed GU, "application/profile updated", BGC change to "We are processing your background check." (from N/A).

Yeah I did my own little search reading through some of the posts in this forum. Apparently, going from "We are processing..." to "Your application is in progress..." indicates eligibility passed and security starting or something else. And when it returns back to "We are processing....", it means background completed and after that its portals. It used to take around 40-50 days for that to happen but that was during COVID. I think these changes are glitches anyway, do not indicate definitely what is going on. Glitches in a sense that there are flags that triggers the changes, but changes don't give out anything meaningful. Some people experience stuff happening with Medicals..... (completed to In progress to completed.... etc) that indicates the same things more or less. I asked for GCMS from CBSA on the July 6th too, maybe it has to do with that thing, who knows..... LOL. Btw how is your progress? Got your card?

Edit:
I have another theory:
1. your status changes from "Processing">>NA>>"Processing" might be synonymous to mine, where NA = In Progress OR
2. may be they finished your background first and then started the eligibility and for me it was the other way round, and hence different status changes.

Either way, I am just happy, somebody might have touched my file.
