That’s awesome. My last part was passed last week as well. However my medical is about to expire so that will be another wait for approval. When does your medical expire?
Good luck anyways and wish that we all receive PPR quickly. We’ve been waiting long enough.
My medicals were extended to the end of the Year (i.e. Dec 2019) I guess its because am already living in Canada, they did require my wife to redo hers (dec 17th, 2018) cause she isnt here...
Great. I'll see if they will extent mine or request a new one for me as well. I'm inland too with dependents outland as you are.
Hi Tobs,
Called again to confirm, agent said "Congratulations all is passed and approved, just wait now for the Ready for Visa email". So i have mailed NDVO; now, a new wait begins. Thanks for your help though. much appreciated.
Hi! Happy new year! It’s been lozng time without news. Did you get PPR already? I am still waiting...
Still waiting... Got a ghost update a few days ago. Since then, nothing. I got a one-year BOWP so I am less stressed, but I wonder that the hell is going on there.
Extensive travel history
Hello folks, first, good luck to everyone still waiting for your PPR. I have a question specifically for those of you that had extensive travel histories to find out whether your PPR was affected or delayed in any way.
I had roughly 100 international trips in the last 10 years, which I meticulously reported in the Travel History section of my application. Most of the travel was to Schengen countries for work while I lived in the UK, but I also had some travel to the Middle East, Africa and South America, with more frequent travel to Asia and the US.
I was only required to produce upfront PCCs for the UK and India, which I did.
I have a mid-December AOR and have a long way to go, but it’s never too early to start worrying, right?
I would be grateful for any experience or insight you can share.

I would be grateful for any experience or insight you can share.My fiance and I had the same problem: we traveled extensively, including Middle-East, China, etc. I have been asking around and talking to lawyers, consultants and folks in the government where I work. The answer I got is that, yes, that type of travel can raise some flags, and if you reach a specific threshold of "flags", a thorough - and time consuming - background check is triggered. Usually it takes the form of requests sent to other countries, and some of them might take time to come back. Note that some "flags" can trigger a background check on their own (spending 4 months in Syria, for example). I believe our application was delayed because my fiance lived in Pekin and Shanghai for a while, which, combined with her stays in Lebanon and Israel, could have triggered BG check.Extensive travel history

I just got this answer to my most recent Case Specific Enquiry:
"We verified the information you provided and can confirm that a decision has been made on the application. Rest assured that the responsible office will contact you by mail or email to provide you with that decision.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry."
I haven't received any email, and I surely hope this is not a negative decision...
In all honesty, we really don't know the criteria, for them putting people into extensive screening (well apart from if you are from the middle east, which is well known), usually its a random selection so pray you aren't part of that. The most important thing is that you submit all documents needed and provided them as accurate as possible. I'll give my ongoing process as an example.Extensive travel history

Submitted my application Feb 3rd with AOR on the 4th, got move to IP2 around the 27th of Feb and the my application got stuck. ordered GCMS which came back about 3 months later, only to find our i was in Review required. Submitted a letter of explanation regarding the issue, and then criminality was passed in August (6 months after) then silence till Dec, where my Spouse was asked to do a re-medical. ordered GCMS report once every 2 months and it always said, Eligibility - RR; Criminality - Passed, Security - Not Started. and by 8th Jan. my application was approved (meaning security was a matter of days). Do mind i currently live in Canada, but i also have an extensive travel history, Spanning Europe, Northern America, South America, the Middle east, and Africa. so am pretty sure it shouldn't matter.
Am now currently in the waiting list for "Ready for Visa mail".
Best of luck and I hope yours isn't as much long as mine!!! Close to a year now...
You'll be fine, you are way too deep to have a negative reaction, why not call them?
Just a little trick, try getting through to them using the Canadian residence option, once you get through, they redirect you to the Permanent Residency agents. mind you might take up to 40 - 50 mins wait but you will get through.
