Did you receive your GCMS notes?
Nope! I ordered them via getgcms. I received an email from getgcms 2 days ago saying they have filed a status request with IRCC regarding the delay. Its funny that getgcms mentioned one of the reasons for delay could be due to the application being at the final stage o_O. I wish that would be the case :).

That is a possibility only if your application was transferred to Ottawa. Its a possibility so lets hope for the best

Ok anyways we have very few people from May on our list. Looking at April and June number my expectation is that there are more May guys in Montreal than we have here. But good to know things are moving in Montreal. This is the 3rd news of PPR from Montreal in this week. Hope November turns out to be good month for Montreal.

Something I generally post on the June thread. Members from other months may find it useful

%age statuses by month as per Immitracker. Based on my past experience on reaction to this post will start with following disclaimer points :D:D
  • Yes the immitracker data may not be accurate. As we all know not everyone updates the data there. But I think it is okay. In practical world decisions are taken everyday based on a sample of a data set.
  • If you feel - “Oh I could list N reasons the data is not the right sample" … well yeah I know that BUT unless someone can give us better data, this is all we have. So let’s make peace with it.
  • Immitracker ignores inactive cases. And yes it does impact %ages. However, I think immitracker is correct in ignoring inactive cases.
  • I stand corrected on above. On 9th October there were a lot of cases which went inactive and hence were messing up the %age trends. I was not tracking active cases on regular basis as the numbers didn't change much. But to keep consistency I have now used active case number as on 21st Sep (as that is the only week I had captured number of active cases)
  • Having said all of above, I think this data can still be used to see trends which are useful. The %ages may not be accurate but overall movement is definitely indicative of progress
  • And lastly, if you disagree just ignore!


My observations

  • This has to be one of the most disappointing weeks! There was hardly any progress on June.
  • June is 10% behind at the same time compared to May. By end of Sep May had 45% PPR and June has only 35%. This is really disappointing!
  • May has missed the mark compared to April. The data may have its limitation but I personally think it is very difficult that the 80% target has been hit for April and for that matter May will hit it

I know many people think ... oh it is probably because people are not entering the data on immitracker ... BUT if that were the case we would see a random trend in data. But the trend is anything but random. Look at progress in July and Aug ... July is almost at same level as June at end of 3rd month. And August at the same level as July at the end of 2nd month. The trend is real, in my opinion.

Looks like the process is just getting slower and slower from the data you have. IRCC doesn't seem to be reaching it's targets.

Hey Guys ,

I have an inquiry. If I change my job now will I have to update my profile? Will I have to submit proof/documents for the new job like letter with my new role and responsibilities? Please advise.
