@PCC_desperate also got PPR. AOR 21 June. Montreal.
you may also get straight PPR cansha.. I mean without any ghost updates. The guy with username thebestapplicant (AOR June 18) also got a straight PPR 2 weeks ago with no ghosts whatsoever. The only ghost he got was the PPR. I hope you and all others get it soon..... I know how hard this wait is..I think anyone who has a ghost update is in luck. It means file has moved and PPR can happen. So @Y@$h you may also see something soon.
I’m yet to see any ghost visit me. So chances are zero that I hear anything before New Year.
Yeah, this morning I called the call center and when i asked what caused the 2 ghosts, she said the eligibility review date is recently changed to Jan end and may be that caused the ghost. She told to call back in Jan end for any updates.Please say the story of how you called the agents and what they told you today. To further buttress that agents say crap many times and they don't really know the actuall status of the application
Awesome, awesome awesome......Congratulations!Guys... PPR just now.. will post timelines in a little bit..!
Thank you so much dude....! This is extremely helpful info.. appreciate it@phaneeswar130 ............ One recommendation for you ........when sending passports use UPS instead of FedEx. For some inane reason everybody uses FedEx but UPS is equally good if not better than FedEx. The reason that I am recommending UPS is:
- They have currently a promotion going on and the round trip cost from US to Canada cost me around $70 USD, including signature on delivery option. FedEx was around 140.
- Even if the promotion gets over you can find coupons for UPS on the web. Could not find any for FedEx. Last time I sent something to India, I was able to find a coupon even at that time.
- No Commercial invoice required. UPS has a checkbox which says you are sending documents only with no commercial value. If you check this box and put "passports and documents" in the description box, then you don't need to fill up the commercial UPS. As my account did not generate the commercial invoice I went to a UPS store and they confirmed that as I had checked this box I would not need any commercial invoice.
- UPS is fast. They delivered mine in 1 day. My return tracker got activated today and I am scheduled to receive my passport on Monday.
Also, if are using US, the return trip to US will cost $60 or more..... you need to manipulate the system so that it will charge you around $37Thank you so much dude....! This is extremely helpful info.. appreciate it
I had put this "Need for commercial invoice" bit on my "figure out things to do" list in July end as something to do after PPR. I'm yet to do this.Look at my tracking info below, it has cleared customs in the US with no commercial invoice.
You know people just follow blindly without using any logic. A few months back I had sent documents to India using UPS and there was no commercial invoice generated. At that time also I had checked the box "document of no commercial value".I had put this "Need for commercial invoice" bit on my "figure out things to do" list in July end as something to do after PPR.

You are the super planner I do all these things at the very last momentI had put this "Need for commercial invoice" bit on my "figure out things to do" list in July end as something to do after PPR. I'm yet to do this.
I have sent documents to India before and you're correct I have never generated a commercial invoice. I had used fed ex. But, then I thought may be it is a requirement of US customs when I saw people mention it on some threads. I think I may have seen a post where someone claimed his or his friend's passport was either held at US customs or may be at Ottawa. I think CIC made them send a commercial invoice before they could ship the passports. But, anyhow your explanation makes sense to me. For crying out loud "Commercial invoice" has the word "Commercial" in it Intuitively, it should not be applicable to personal documents.N

While sending my passport and only because it was my passport, I went to the UPS store to double check. They said you don't need it as you have checked tthat box. They also said that whenever you need one, the system would generate one for you and email it to you.
Also, I just updated my post above and if you look at the tracking info, you would see my passports are already in Tampa
I think I know the post you are talking about. Even on IRCC's website they list out steps on how to generate a shipping label using FedEx and the need for commercial invoice. But then it is FedEx, they are adifferent courier company and have their own standards. On FedEx webiste, I could not find any checkbox which I could have marked to say that the contents are documents only with no commercial value and I guess that is the reason they need commercial invoice.I have sent documents to India before and you're correct I have never generated a commercial invoice.

To be honest, I have never used online Fedex. I tried once it was too confusing for me So, I go to store and in there the form did have the check box for documents (I guess)I think I know the post you are talking about.
