August 2018 AOR - join here

[Manu Kapoor]

Hi Manu,

I was on the verge of ordering GCMS notes myself. I tried calling CIC a couple of times but couldn't reach an agent because their lines were too busy. I had read a comment on this forum earlier that calling at the time just when they are about to begin taking calls is the best time to call which is when you have high chance of reaching an agent. That time should be around 7.30 PM IST but I am not sure.

I had asked the same question as you have, which is whether it would make any difference if we called CIC multiple times to ask about our status and the answer from other users was "No, it shouldn't make any difference". I would say, try at least 4-5 times until you reach an agent before deciding to opt for GCMS notes. Case Specific Enquiry is also an option that I have heard of, but not tried myself.

Also, please check the timelines of other people who paid RPRF later like you. MyImmiTracker website is helpful in that regard.

I hope my answer helped you in some way and if all your documents are valid then there should be no reason to worry.

Yes, your answer did give me important pointers and I will take the call accordingly.
Thanks somiran for the comprehensive answer and all the best for your new journey ahead . Take care.

In my account, there is a paragraph above the process bar said "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.

Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to. This will help move the application process along."

Anyone have the same paragraph?

That is quite interesting... I read in September AOR forum, their message in their account is this:

We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
You may not hear from us for a little while, this is normal. Most of the progress on your application happens closer to your estimated completion date.

hmmmmmm....

So the paragraph might be just based on our AOR month, nothing special...

I hope that means some good news is coming to you.

 

[blahola]

Still no progress bar for me
I don't understand how/why an update gets applied to some accounts and not to others.

 

[digitalmohsin]

Beautiful, now we have a countdown. Awesome

This progress bar is an absolute shit show. It doesn't mean anything and it would be an epic shame if we do not get PPR by the timeline shown in the progress bar. There should be a limit to lameness.

 

[JJ_87]

I did not get any emails...neither about the introduction nor the launch of the progress bar, but I can see the bar in my application now.

 

[Archita]

@Archita Yes, I'm in a similar timeline and situation....

AOR - August 6th
Medicals Passed - August 28th
IP1 - Ever Since......Sigh!!
FSW - Outland

We're all on the same boat. Trying to stay positive and remain calm...I guess that's all we can do since we're well within the CIC's processing timelines...

I know it's really frustrating. But all we can do is wait. Hope for the PPR soon

Hi Guys, Please be informed that we are almost 10 people sharing the same VO Sydney and same stream PNP-Outland got our application approved 1 month ago and still waiting for our PPRs .
we called IRCC and an agent confirmed that our application is approved since x date and we just need to wait for VO to send us emails.
we have been waiting for this since November , we are AOR August and AOR July .
i just wanted to share this so if some of you have the same case can join the waiting list .

Its not just PNP outland, but FSW outland too, who are stuck at Sydney and files approved.
Nobody knows the reason, but I guess we'll be waiting for a long time untill Sydney finally wakes up from its slumber!
God knows when that will happen.
I dont understand the logic behind holding up an approved file.

 

[Archita]
