well you crossed the biggest hurdle.
Yes and I'm also happy it's showing any sort of progress.

I'm just surprised it is being processed in Ottawa. I thought they only really did FSW-O US and Inland applications.

Question: When eligibility isn't met (e.g. insufficient work experience) how early in the application process would this pop up? (e.g. rejection, or ADR)

My only concern with my application is that they may or may not approve my internship as work experience. I got AOR on June 29, MEP on July 14, and am an CEC-Inland applicant, currently IP2.

Considering we've seen quite a few CEC applicants get to PPR really quick, and my application is pretty straightforward (held just 1 job, 1 PCC, limited travel history) with each day that passes my hope that I met the eligibility requirement increases a bit :)

EDIT: Guess I can call - am lazy though.

My AOR was on June 25th, is it too early to call? will there be any disadvantages of calling?

They seem to be processing a lot of cases thesedays. Might be a reason it's become slower.

It should come up during officer review. Which is probably 2 - 3 months from AOR. The case analyst will mark it as review needed early on, he won't request for ADR.

I did request GCMS notes about a week ago - going on vacation in late August, so by the time I get back I should have the notes that will probably mention whether it got flagged or not. I could call now but meh...I will wait for the GCMS notes, and if they're not conclusive I'll give 'em a call.

Processing of pr applications has slowed down it seems for FSW O applicants especially those who are from India.

Waiting time is unbearable. Hope to see some movements soon.
As far as I remember the only non US fsw-o pprs in June are from India. I haven't checked immitracker in a few days though.

AOR june 8th and in IP1 for over a month now.

I called today!! I tried my luck directly from my cell phone without blocking anything and was very surprised that I got into the queue. After holding for about 20 minutes I got through to a very pleasant agent. He laughed and told me it was "sooooooo early" in the application process to check but he would still do it.
The only new info I got was that eligibility has been met and they have to now verify things like PCCs etc. He said they had all the info they needed and everything was progressing as it should. It's being processed at the Ottawa office. I asked if it stays there and he said it may or may not. It depends on what infomation they need as they do their checks.

I'm probably going to call back mid September to see if anything has changed and decide from there if to order GCMS notes.
In the same boat as got almost a similar reply on the phone!
