You can call the CIC number and get updates. You can also use the ECAS online tool to check status. You can still link your application if you want.

Hi! Just wondering if you are able to clarify something in regards to GCMS Notes; was your file ever in FCU-DIS in paper file history? If so, what`s the location after FCU-DIS?

For reference:
Location: Registry
Location: FCU-CAROOM
Location: FCU-DIS
Hi, from the notes it looks like our file was never sent it been in that particular location. I'm unsure about what it actually means. I'm sorry but maybe someone else could clarify this bit.

And you've mentioned before that you've already provided them with the necessary documentation that shows intent to return to Canada, right?

Cause it all looks like you're ready in that case and you just need to wait for PPR email.
Hi Oulrish, nope. They have not requested to show intent (but of course by sending the entire application is an intent in itself right? Haha.

Nope, still with PA, outside of Canada.

Odd right? Anyway, I responded with a time frame of 12 to 18 months.
Well I'm guessing they are requesting for proof of the sponsor having intent to return to Canada. Did you provide that yet? Employment, bank account, house, anything that proves you will be returning to Canada soon.

Thank you for u our help I was able to check the status its says in process do you know what's the usual time frame for them to make a decision and does in process means they are checking for background and else
In process could mean a bunch of things - Sponsor Eligibility, PA eligibility, Background Check etc. As long as Decision isn't made it will say In Process.

Your time frame also depends on mainly two factors: The VO (some are very busy like LVO and processing times are usually on average a bit longer than other VOs), and the nature of your specific case. If it is a straightforward case then processing should be within average time frame for that VO otherwise it can take longer. What's your VO?

Only a letter signed by my neighbour that he intends to buy my property.

Anyway, hope it is positive!
