Hi Guys,

I am November 14th applicant. Today, when I checked myCIC it shows as:
Application status We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you. Help
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. Help
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam. Help
Review of additional documents The additional documents you provided have been uploaded. Help
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes. Help
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information. Help
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Is it a good sign that my BGC went in Progress and also does it mean that my Eligibility passed or it could still be in progress along with my BGC?
How long did they take to update about adding the additional documents after receiving them?

They will acknowledge the receipt of your application in few weeks/month. Wait for a few days and if you don't get a letter then call cic.

I was asked for two additional documents in two separate correspondence. Passport size photographs and travel history form. For first correspondence, I mailed my photographs but didnt get any response or status change on myCIC. Then, I get another correspondence for travel history form and I did not mail it and only uploaded it on the myCIC portal and it said my document is uploaded successfully. So, I uploaded my passport size picture there as well.

@theshax99

please let us know what is process and format of inquiry email.
I believe it will help other waiting applicants
Hi ehsan1618,

AmyR is absolutely correct, there is no strict format for the email. You can use what AmyR shared. If you are interested to know what I sent. Here it is,

File #: *************

Dear Canadian High Commission,

I am sending this email to inquire the status of the application for permanent residence under family class for principal applicant <Insert PA Name here>. The Application was filed on <Application filing date>. We got correspondence from Case Processing Centre Mississauga confirming the eligibility of Sponsor on <AOR1 Date>. Since then we haven't heard anything from Visa office(London visa office in our case) or received any kind of correspondence. It's been about six months without any status update.

I would really appreciate if you can kindly provide any kind of update for where my application stands in the process.

Yours Sincerely,
*******************************

I got the same two requests and i did exactly the same as you did.

Question

Will I get an interview email from LVO or my lawyer will get the email?

Any idea
If u have a representative, then CIC will do all communication with him/her.

I have the very same feeling. We are stuck with some lazy visa officer -___-
Guys I know exactly how you feel at the moment, however you should consider two things at the moment to stay positive:

1) LVO has finally woken up from their deep sleep and the month of May saw the maximum number of DMs till now.

2) I think they have a mid year cut off so they will try to finalise maximum applications by 30th June. Same happened last year as a lot of people got DMs before June 30.

The dry period that caused people to wait 9-11 months has finally ended..IA those waiting will hear good news soon.

You are right about that, but it is really out of my understanding how they go about applications? I mean people who applied later are getting their PPRs and we are just waiting here since 8 months with literally no update at all. And on top of that, LVO doesn't bother to reply to the email. I guess I am just over thinking but it really is very frustrating.
