I'm not sure if anyone is updating May timelines. I know I'm not.

Do you know how long before ECAS updates once you've done your finger prints? I did mine on the 25th, and the RCMP said the verification was completed on the 26th and mailed to CIC on St Clair.

Hi experts, I need your input. I heard RQ usually received within 3 weeks of IP, do you guys think i am safe now since my case went IP on 3rd Jan? I am worried to receive RQ since I took 10~15 trips to Aisa every year, though only stay less than 1 week every time, and I do track my travels and listed them in the calculator.

Hi experts, I need your input. I heard RQ usually received within 3 weeks of IP, do you guys think i am safe now since my case went IP on 3rd Jan? I am worried to receive RQ since I took 10~15 trips to Aisa every year, though only stay less than 1 week every time, and I do track my travels and listed them in the calculator.

Actually most reported RQ these days is issued at or following the test/interview.

For a couple years now there have been rather few reports of pre-test RQ, which has typically been issued by the CPC in Sydney. I'm guessing this still happens, but not nearly so frequently as in the past. If that happens, of course that would be within a relatively short period of time following the application being shown as IP (since, again, that is usually the result of screening in the CPC prior to file referral to a local office). I would be surprised, however, if the timeline is consistently less than 3 weeks.

The imposition of PPQ-QAE, for which there has been a surge of reports sufficient to infer there is indeed a surge in the number of applicants affected, also appears to be determined in CPC-Sydney, so here too this likely happens within a relatively short period of time following AOR and IP, but here too I would be surprised if the timeline is consistently less than 3 weeks.

Applicants given PPQ-QAE (according to the correspondence sent by IRCC) are "RANDOMLY selected." To the extent that is true, you are as safe or not safe as any other applicant regardless your travel history.

Otherwise, anyone can be issued RQ or a PPQ at virtually any stage of the process. While it is highly unusual, there have been cases in which an applicant has been scheduled to take the oath, pulled from the oath ceremony on the day of the oath, and issued RQ.

In the meantime, the vast majority of qualified applicants will NOT be issued either RQ or the PPQ. To that extent, most qualified applicants are safe from RQ. BUT there is no guarantee, far from it.

I did my FP last week in Montreal, will GRC send the result directly to CIC or to me?

Pretty sure ECAS doesn't update to reflect whether you have submitted the fingerprints or not. Also, I believe test invitations are typically sent independent of FP requests, but could also happen after FPs are processed and analyzed. To give an example, some people got test invitation and FP request on the same day. You could request your GCMS notes if you would like to find out more, or simply call them.
