Its when you pay the full fees including RPRF when you submit your application. You have the option of only paying half and paying the rest later like JPV did. The advantage of paying only half is so that when they ask for the remaining money, you know you have passed eligibility. The disadvantage is that you might lose a few days... but clearly in the speed JPV is going...a couple of days dont matter!
Yes, as you said, I guess there's not a much delay if we don't pay RPRF upfront.
The main advantage is one which I'm having at present, being aware of the fact that yes a human is regularly checking on my file!:)

Absolutely! You have surely passed eligibility and you are in the last leg! Looks I have to be stalking you now coz your PPR is surely going be faster than mine. I paid my full fees up front so no way of knowing anything till I move to IP2!

My status changed medical passed and bgc NA on the same day. Did not have any IP1 status. Paid my RPRF upfront. Will the next change be direct IP2?

I have this little nifty trick by which I know when they are accessing my file. Its a freak case and I'm sure most people don't have this "problem" which turned out to be a boon.

By default, there is something technically wrong with my profile where I can NEVER log into my profile the first time. I have to keep signing back in again and again and i usually get into my profile only on my 5th or 6th attempt. I have thought of reporting this technical issue multiple times to CIC but I held back since I did not want to mess with my profile till i get my PPR.

However now I realise that every time they are working on my file, I get through into my profile in one shot. The last time it happened was a day before I passed medical. I thought it magically got fixed and I logged in multiple times that day and every time, i got through the first time on my computer and my phone on that day.

After I passed medical. I went back to the old problem. I keep getting bumped off after I accept Terms and conditions back to ICC home page. Only by brute force by signing in 3 to 5 times do I get through.

Day before yesterday. I could again get through without any issues so I know some human was working on it. Today morning I'm back to the normal routine of multiple sign ins. 'LOL

You might move to IP1 soon. Sometimes it's instant and sometimes it takes a few days.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

That sounds pretty interesting but it might be just coincidental. I hope your IP2 comes pretty soon and the PPR, then we can celebrate.

Thank you for the help you have rendered to all of us here, we really appreciate.

Hey your CSE will come very soon dont worry, you sent it right after AOR! Now even the CSE's come quicker.
Yea hopefully it does, Thanks for the assurance dear.

Also, on top of this many applicants got meds passed yesterday with AOR 23rd May, and now I called my good for nothing representative for updates, he is on leave:mad:! I have no access to my account without them sadly their policy :confused:. Now I am sitting and wondering what is happening with my file:oops:
I might beat up my representative:mad: I see red:eek:. first they did not check my documents properly, the only thing i paid them for now this.
Never ever hire any immigration lawyer thinking they are smarter then you, they know nothing not even as much i know.

Thanks for bearing with my rant. Could't keep it in.

What is the number to reach IRCC? When I call the number listed on website, I get the message that - Call originated from Canada will only be answered.

Thanks
Which number did you use? I was not able to reach an agent this afternoon.
Just want to confirm the number to call is 613 944 4000 for people outside of Canada,right? I kept getting hung up
Yes, Still NA. No Movement after 13th June. I tried calling IRCC about 6 times last night and spent about 20 minutes on it. I kept being bumped off saying heavy call volumes! How did you manage to get through? Just sheer luck?
Yes, that's the one. I could only reach upto the bit where they READ the damn status to you which I can anyway read myself on my profile! After that they say - High Call volume and we can't connect you to an operator. Please try later. And then I'm bumped off.

Here is a tip. I have made a note of the sequence. So the first call took 6 minutes to reach the Bump off bit. So then I used the rest of the calls to practice the sequence and I managed to reach the last bit by 3 minutes in my last call as I kept pressing the 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 as fast as the sytem will allow.

Unfortunately at the last bit when you want to PRESS ZERO and go to the operator, the stupid voice will not let me press ZERO till she freaking finishes reading the entire status profile!

I am going to try and aim for 2.30 seconds to reach the finish line today!

Last week I called 613 944 4000 many times and they just say due to high volume of calls they cant connect to an agent.

So, I had my friend call 1-888-242-2100 from Canada and I told him to select option 7 for express entry. The wait time was 25 min so he conferenced(joined) me in the call after 20 mins and I spoke to an agent after 5-7 mins.

Hi,

I m PNP applicant and got the eAOR on 20 Apr 2017 but still waiting for an update even medical status has not been changed.

Can anyone suggest how to contact them or is it a normal processing time ?????
PNP timelines are very slow as compared to others, better contact them to know exact status.

PNP processing is the slowest. BTW you can join PNP APR thread for latest trends on PNP applicantions.

All the people on this thread are FSW-O. Hope this makes sense.
