April 2024 AOR

[Candidatt]

What is your AOR @priyankabhalla ?
@Anulika87 and I are Apr 01.
I called IRCC. Kind gentleman picked up my call and reassured me that things appear to be in order. Hoping to see some progress in the coming week or two. That is on the optimistic side. But it is also somewhat realistic because by mid-July I’ll already be at 105 days post AOR. And just a few short days after that I’ll be at 120 days and firmly within those who enter the fifth month. Hoping for the best though.

@Candidatt your message has me optimistic seeing we’re both April 1 AOR. I hope we all see some movement sooner than later and we all get to congratulate ourselves

The tracker seems to be down these days.. people getting PPRs have not had their updates on tracker either
So we shouldn’t rely on that for our status ..

My AOR is 6th April. I have no update on my tracker since i paid the RPRF fee. Its totally silent

I’m glad you got some feedback atleast blaming it on high workload. They don’t even tell me anything when I call.
I know it’s so frustrating seeing other people from same stream and timeline getting FDs, but honestly, the most we can do right now is just wait and hope for the very best whenever that happens.
Also, I ordered gcms notes last month. It’s not here yet… maybe you can order and see exactly what’s going on.
Be of good cheer my friend!

I ordered my GCMS notes today, and it says they should arrive in 20 days. I'm wondering why you haven't received yours yet. Why is IRCC so slow in some cases and super fast in others? It's really nerve-racking

Hey, when you ordered your GCMS notes, did you choose "Privacy Act"or " Access to Information Act"

I wasnt asked to choose anything. I just went on gcms.ca and chose to order gcms notes and I did.

Thank you @iSaidGoodDay .. your inputs were really helpful throughout this process.. I do plan to land there sometime in October since I need to see out my notice period of 2 months with my current employer

A few things to do over these last 3-4 months:
1. get your DL extract
2. get your insurance history (I wasn't able to get mine once I landed here)
3. download the relevant app and start learning about driving(makes it easier and faster)
4. renew your credit and debit cards in case you would like to have them with extended expiry dates
5. see how will 20% TCS(outward remittance for PoF and general settlement funds) impact you and prepare according
6. start talking to people in your target city for jobs, housing, etc and prepare better (if you aren't doing it already)

Might seem small, but this will eat up all the time you have got.

Thanks again for sharing all these points. Will take a screenshot of this for future reference.. luckily I do have a few friends who have moved to Canada in the last two years so I have been in touch with them on getting information on relevant jobs and housing.. Really happy and excited for the new opportunities and challenges but nervous at the same time especially on the job front.. do you think I can start looking for a job while I am outside Canada or its recommended to start looking for one once I have landed there (some employers may not be interested if you aren't there)
