Hi All,

This week did not see any PPRs yet. Still half a day to go and sometimes PPR comes on Saturday morning. Hoping we still see a few tomorrow.

Anyhow we will be entering October and lets hope things will be better starting October. Based on cases we have listed here March has 100% PPRs. The largest population we have in Montreal is from April AORs. I have a feeling we will see good progress on them soon. Anyhow Montreal seems much more sequential in processing applications than other visa offices. Any movement in April / may will be good news for June candidates which is the second largest number after April.

Hope next week is great. Wish you all a happy weekend!
Likewise, Have a nice weekend! You are doing a great job tracking stuff on behalf of everyone here. We are thankful :)

Wasn't part of this thread until @cansha mentioned my timeline might be helpful/hopeful here:

VO - Montreal
FSW online account application from USA
April 24 - AOR
May 1 - Medical passed
No updates or e-mails for ~5 months
Sep 29 - BG check has started status update along with APPROVAL LETTER requesting the passport.

Oh, and I didn't know my VO was Montreal until I got my PRR yesterday.

Welcome to Montreal family! As you may have seen that Montreal takes 6 month timeline very seriously. So brace yourself for a long wait!
In the mean time do come here time to time to say hello and keep this thread at the top. Also, let others also know that they could be in Montreal and direct them here.

Have a nice week!

Hehehe! I couldn't agree more with you especially what I read from threads for Montreal VO. Now I can officially be prepared for the long wait.
Thanks and you too have a great week ahead!

Welcome and thanks for sharing your case details here. As you may have seen on the thread that the wait time in Montreal is little longer. Given you’re June 1 AOR you can expect some action around first week of November. Do come back and share your findings from GCMS notes when you receive them.

Looking at April AOR's, its worrying that Montreal VO is not even finishing stuff in 6 months :(

Well technically many will reach 6 months in last week of October and also their clock starts from R10 check which is approximately 2 weeks after AOR. Having said that I’m hopeful our April friends will get good news in this week.
Hoping for the best !
