AOR in April 2017 - Let's Connect Here!

[188916072]

I am really tired and exhausted. I just want it before Christmas to mark the end of 2017.

 

[Tomi2]

So I am one of the hundreds or thousands silently following this forum and learning a lot from everyone. I just got my PPR yesterday 20/10/2017, I want to thank every and each one of you for taking the time and putting the effort in this forum, it made a huge difference. The least I could do is provide a detailed time line for my application, hopefully it will help re-assure some of you.
I am FSW inland

AOR: April 26, 2017
Medicals passed : July 1, 2017
No updates from July 1 to Sept 29

My time line from July 1 to Sept 29 :
Application status : We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility : We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results : You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents: No additional document needed
Interview : You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics : We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when we start your background check
Final decision: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.


Received 2 GCMS notes on August 24 and Sept 27: Both notes were identical, showing:
Eligibility :recommended pass
Criminality: not started
Security: not started
Some notes by the officer who assigned the "recommended pass", indicating checking my degrees, letter of experience and confirming the location and contact info of the place I was working at
GCMS notes showed that no one looked at my application since july 4

On Sept 29, My background check was updated. I did not get an e-mail for that:
Background check : We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information

October 6, I got an email requesting Canadian police check for me and my wife, as we have been in canada for more than 6 months
The application updated to :
Review of additional documents: We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.
I uploaded them immediately as I had them ready

October 19, on the HOME PAGE of my account, showed the my application is updated, however when I opened the application, nothing was updated

October 20, I got PPR e-mail
Current time line after PPR:
Application status: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements
Review of medical results :You passed the medical exam
Review of additional documents We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes. Help
Biometrics : We do not need your fingerprints. 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.

What i learned throughout the process:
- There is NO one specific way that your application has to follow
- If your application is taking longer than others, it does not mean that there is something wrong. My application was not touched for almost 3 months for no obvious reasons
- The updates of your application on CIC are not that accurate as you can see from my current time line
- You guys are much more helpful than you can imagine, You are impacting others life significantly
I hope you find this post helpful and let me know if you have any questions!

Lots of love!

Thank you so much for your detailed time-line!

What was the information needed for your employment.I am in the same situation but haven't heard anything from them. NO Additional document request yet. Thanks in advance.

good thing no additional docs requested for you. It will further delay the process, by verifying, uploading etc and takes considerable time as happening to me now
its the offer letter, pay checks etc.

Hi, just want to get those with same status in this loop so we can share status.
My medical passed on 23 OCT, but somehow background check is still not started whereas some applicants have that updated to in progress immediately after medical passed.

Anyone has the same issue? any update?

 

[Skyler68]

What is the option to request for an update when our paperwork is being processed by an agent?

Hi, you can email them if you have your details. Someone I know emailed with a different email address that was used for his profile and got a response. So just give it a try, no harm.

I used my email to email them and they came back saying that another email was registered. So, now we are waiting on the agent which again is taking forever!

I am pretty much in the same situation. Medicals passed on 1st Aug. Only criminality is done. Eligibility and security hadn't started as of Sept 17 and now there is no way to request an update.

Thank you so much for your detailed time-line!

Here to confirm I also got PPR yesterday even though my documents section said we need more documents. I guess they just don't bother updating it!

Oh dear. Sorry about that

Hi All,

Does anyone has phone number or email ID where CIC can be contacted. They have asked me to send mine and my Spouse's valid passport, although , I have already submitted. The point here is that my passport expires on 17 Jan 2018, although my husband's is valid for next 9 years. now I want to make sure, that they want my present passport and not a renewed , since it takes atleast one week.

Members , please help me out here. Here is the message from CIC :
"We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents:
 11315645830 - Shilpi Verma:

FSW-Outland--> Stage-> IP2 (background - NA)

Hello Shilpi:
I am AOR 28 June, and I got the same email from CIC at 2nd Oct, and submitted a copy of new Passport at the same day, but I haven't heard any thing until now!! Isn't it weird?
Did you submit copy of new passports? and how long did it take to get PPR after that?
Thanks a lot.
