Did you get funds from a family member? Had you provided a gift deed? It seems like they are concerned about a large deposit made. Other than that I think they are happy with everything else. May be raise a CSE and provide LOE for funds.

Hi guys,
I am an fsw inland applicant
Aor - 19 May
Med passed/ IP 2 - 30 May
No updates after that
Got the gcms notes yesterday
Vo - Montreal
Eligibility - review required as birthday falls between ITA and APR and points go down below the CRS score for that round.
Any inputs regarding that?Should i be worried?

I found this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/age-based-requirements.html

As per this link if your age changes between ITA and submission of application officers may grant you exemption in case your points fall below the CRS round. I think that is the reason your application may be review required. I would suggest take legalfalcon's opinion on this.

AOR : March 3, 2018
IP1 : March 14, 2018
Mex PCC : June 06, 2017
Ghost update : August 22, 2018
IP2 : September 20, 2018 *
PPR : September 20, 2018
VO : Montreal
Home country : India
Residence : US

* My application was in IP1 till the end, PPR was an update on application and the status changed to IP2 along with the PPR update.

There was no update on my application for over 6 months, today I called IRCC they put me on a long hold. During the hold I received another request for my Mexican PCC on to my account, I inquired the same to the IRCC agent after hold. He mentioned that they never received my PCC. Then called the Canadian embassy in Mexico as they already sent me a mail confirmation that my PCC was delivered on June 06. They put me on a long hold and there was another update on my account during the hold, it was the PPR mail.

So I firmly believe that me calling today has made some difference. Else I am pretty sure today would be have been another day in those 6+ dark months.

This was one of the worst wait times I had ever. IRCC should provide all applicants with timely updates at every step.

Wishing all the best to all applicants here. You will surely get your PPR as no application would be rejected after many months of wait, but its only upto IRCC to send you one.
