June 2018 AOR - join here

Okay second last post for the Year 2018. Here are the screenshots from immitracker, easily available and may have been seen by many already. Just gives the story of 2018 compared to 2017.

• 2017 had 4391 recorded PPRs and compared to that we had 1200 less PPRs recorded in 2018.
• There can be many theories of 2018 vs 2017 but one thing is difficult to ignore that 2018 has been unbelievable slow compared to 2017.
• Once 2017 picked pace after May the worst month was Dec'2017 and it had 350 odd PPRs. What is surprising is even the best month in 2018 was no where close to that number of Dec'17.

Anyways let's hope for a better 2019. Hopefully, there were some reasons in background was this wide lethargy and they may get resolved starting Jan 2019.

Heartiest congrats once again to folks who received PPR on Dec 31st. Probably, the best way to cap off a year which I'm guessing was challenging if not for anything else then for the wait till PPR.

Hello Folks,

My last post for 2018 is a request (and I promise for the last time). It is not a new request, it is the same old broken record request from me. Please do take out sometime and write a feedback to IRCC on their handling of the cases and processing times.

Link is here again https://secure.cic.gc.ca/feedback-retroaction/feedback-retroaction-eng.aspx

Suggested points for feedback are below:

1. Request them to decrease variability in the processing times
2. Request IRCC to have a mechanism where cases beyond 6 months get some sort of priority especially the ones which are languishing just because no action has been taken
   
3. Suggestion that all VO processing times be reviewed and brought at par with each other. For example some VO sitting on files without touching them for months.
   
4. Bring to their notice peculiarities like Sydney, NS sitting on approved files for over 2 months and a visa office like NDVO releasing PPRs only after candidates email it.

Thanks in advance for your time in reading this post and sincere gratitude if you decide to write to IRCC.

Have a nice 2019!

I raised a CSE to ask for my VO and found out that my file intake was made at CIO Sydney and then my application is currently at Ottawa and they are currently verifying the eligibility requirements. Is this good? Any input. Happy new year everyone!

Who responded to you? Was it Yueshan?

Happy new year.

Hi guys, I just checked my CIC account and found that my status has changed to 'Approved' (I had submitted my passport on Dec 18). I also noticed that an additional table is now visible. One of the columns in this new table reads' Date of Expiry' (this does not correspond to my passport expiry date). Has anyone else seen this? Can it be the deadline for first landing? Thanks

Yes it is the date before which you have to land

Happy new year everyone.

Thanks for your reply. Would you know how to figure out if one's return tracker has been activated?

 

[Nishika22]

@Nishika22 Did you get any reason from GCMS why our security hasn't started yet ?

None Not even a due date was given for security, so the GCMS notes only helped to confirm that criminality is passed - the rest is a wide open book. If there is a backlog of cases, the VO might just avoid touching the last leg because once started, there might be a due date that gets imposed.
Dunno how long it will take, but its clear the wait and watch continues...Patience seems to be our only choice...
