AOR in April 2017 - Let's Connect Here!

- Start date
Others are saying PPR comes max 20 days after IP2 mine it is more than 35 days and counting... something wrong there or it happened with others
We have almost the same timeline. I got IP2 on the same day as you but no PPR yet, the wait can be tiring and frustrating considering that others got PPR on the same day as IP2 or maximum or 2 weeks after. It shall end in praise bro, just be patient.
Is your application FSW-Outland?
I had ip2 last week, my background check just went NA again... please who knows what this means?

My AOR is 3rd April and Background check is NA not sure what it was before, my concern is that I have still not received an RPRF request. I'm super concerned now.
Its just for people who are stuck at eligibility its mentioned on the gcms notes for further review.
I called CIC yesterday and your BG status is just like mine(Criminality and eligibility - in process and Security - not started). After knowing that I started browsing and figured out that for some people it took around 10 days after criminal and elig in process to Security start being processed as well, but unfortunately there is not a lot of cases and we can't trust on these days I just told you. Lmk if you find some info more useful.
Good luck to us

Why do BGC takes so long for some applicants?
If your application is stuck in the BGC and your GCMS notes show that everything else has been completed, then it could be either of the two scenarios:
a) The application is stuck with CSIS. CSIS may be conducting an in-depth investigation into your file. This could be a result of your past military service, extensive travel to suspicious countries, known political or governmental affiliation. Sometimes it could be as remote as the company you worked for is under investigation by a law enforcement agency of a foreign country. Only since you were an employee, and not named in the investigation, CSIS will take its time to probe the issue before it gives its conclusive report.
b) The CSIS report is awaiting final review from IRCC: In most cases the delay is at this stage. CSIS after filing its report, the IRCC has to make a final review and a determination. When CSIS flags a few things, CSIS does not recommend that the application be cancelled, but it is on the IRCC to determine if based on the CSIS report an applicant would be inadmissible in accordance with IRPA. Most applications are held up here. This is because the IRCC will send that report to officials specifically trained to look into the inadmissibility issues based on security and they will make a final determination, which will then be approved by an agent.
What can an applicant do if his application is stuck at BGC?
If an application is stuck at BGC for a very long time, i.e. more than 3-5 months after your eligibility is cleared you have two options:
a) You can inquire about the status of your security check directly from CSIS. To enquire about the status of a an immigration screening file, the following information is required*:
a. a full name,
b. date and place of birth,
c. the signature of the applicant, and
d. a return mailing address as replies are not sent by email or fax.
e. If you are enquiring on behalf of another person, the request must be accompanied by the Consent Form to Disclose Information to a Designated Individual.
f. Mail or fax the request to CSIS at the attention of:
Assistant Director, Operations
Canadian Security Intelligence Service
P.O. Box 9732, Station T
Ottawa, ON
K1G 4G4
Fax: 613-369-2954
It takes CSIS 8 weeks to process these requests. Information on this is available at https://www.csis.gc.ca/scrtscrnng/index-en.php#bm02 Some applicants have successfully obtained information from CSIS.
b) If CSIS has finished the security screening, then your file is pending final review with IRCC. There is nothing much you can do at this stage. However, there is anecdotal evident that ordering GCMS notes does initiate the process. This is because every time you order GCMS notes, an agent will review the notes before releasing them. If the file has been reviewed by the Agent, and is pending posting the update on the system, the same will be done by the agent when he is reviewing the notes and this will move your file ahead.

Question on RPRF:
We unfortunately are going through an unreliable agent and he didn't inform us at the time of processing our application that we had the option of paying RPRF upfront.
As it is, the PNP stream is taking forever. Do you know if there is any way to make this payment while the application is in process to avoid additional delays?
