Hi guys,
First time posting. On behalf of everybody , I would like to thank everyone that does. This forum has been very helpful.
Today my sister in law received her ppr. My brother is a PR. Our application was delivered to Miss. on June 12, 2018. We were able to see the status update on July14 using the cic online tool. Same day we were able to create our GCkey account. This all happened without any AOR. We used his info for the online tool and used his wife's info for the GCKey. On July 17, the online tool showed descision made for the sponsorship part of the application. It was actually on July 30 that he actually got his AOR. Our AOR orginated from Sydney, in case you would like to know. After that came the SA email on August 17. Like everybody else with this timeline, we also got the request for medical on August 21. Medical was done on the 27, updated on gckey on Sept. 5 with the line that she passed the medical . On Sept. 11 we got the email stating that our file would be transferred from Sydney to Mississauga for further processing. She is in India. Yesterday , Sept. 27, her background check started. It was updated in Gckey. No email about status update, just visible under the profile updated status. Today she got the email to submit her passport to vfs. Just in case you are wondering, the online tool shows decision made for the permanet resident application while gckey still says background check in progress. The letter that she got in her personal email was mailed out by cic mississauga but in the footer of the letter, the address of the high commision of canada in New delhi is written on it. The pre-arrival services that are available are also mentioned in a seperate sheet.
We filled out our application ourselves. For anybody out there starting out,it is possible. This forum and its members are very helpful. I would like to wish you all the best. I have a strong feeling that alot of PPR's are ready to be emailed. Good luck everybody. Wish you guys all the best.
