Majority of the population have this status for months. So no need to worry. It's so called IP1 which can remain in same status for 2 to 4 months.

My brother received same email too as follows:


On December 12, 2018, you’ll see a progress bar for your Express Entry application. The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received your application. It will give you an estimated completion date based on our latest estimated processing times.

We’ll let you know when the progress bar is available for your application.
I received the same email now. This maybe a good thing at it will provide us with an estimation when we can expect the golden email :)

Hi all,

Received AOR on 19th NOV

I too got an email , but don't have high hopes on the status bar to provide the exact status considering how inefficient the entire process is .
Anyway will wait and watch . Hope they make it application specific and not display a generic message just to avoid individual query

I have the same status. Except for Additional documents it says "we are reviewing your additional documents"

This is IP1 stage and should stay like this for a few months

Hi Guys, My AOR is Nov 2. Biometrics request letter (Dec 1st) only received for wife/dependant but not for me. I have raised a CSE, yet to receive a response. I'm thinking of emailing them again as they haven't responded in a week. Should I be concerned?

I got a request to Upload IMM5475 (nominated my spouse) and the last date was Dec 7. I sent CIC via CSE Email as that was the only way I knew. Today, I logged in and saw "Replacement Overdue' (Required by Dec. 7 - Yesterday) under 'Documents submitted by the client'. Am I in trouble? Should I call CIC? If so, what's their Number? I have uploaded the document there as well.

Also, could someone please add me to the Whatsapp group, my number: +45 53105922. Thanks!

My application has already been canceled as incomplete once and I lost 5 points (now CRS at 450) due to a stupid PCC that I had but did not upload. They did not even ask (although I had given them 4 PCCs already) and just canceled without warning - hence the apprehension if everything is on track this time.

Appreciate the time!!

Got an email saying that my application is updated. However medical check tab says "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.". So medical is not passed yet.

The BG check says "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

Bit confused about the status of my application. AOR was on November 5th and most people applied on that date have already passed the medicals.
Im in the Same situation as you brother..november 5th.the update was for my uci number that changed from CAN to a 10digit number..no mep passed

ugh, sorry to hear of your past experience man.

I think you should be fine if you uploaded it within the required time. They also get the date when you uploaded the document so i believe you should be ok.

so I got this weird email from IRCC which says the following

"On December 12, 2018, you’ll see a progress bar for your Express Entry application. The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received your application. It will give you an estimated completion date based on our latest estimated processing times. We’ll let you know when the progress bar is available for your application."

I was like, what crap. What was this, i would have preferred an update to my profile. Still went ahead and checked.

Looks like I got an update for the medicals (didn't receive an update on my email for the meds). Additionally, I got my application UCI updated from CAN00000XXXXXXXX to the one I had when I had applied for my student permit.

They also updated my biometrics information by plucking out the information of my student permit and putting it on my profile and giving it an expiry date ten years from the date i gave my biometrics. Funnily enough the status still shows you don't need biometrics.

I am FSW-inland applicant and now the profile shows this
