Hey guys! my AOR is May 23, 2018 and like you folks, I am also in the same boat! I am a resident of Ottawa, literally lives blocks away from all these offices and ministries.
I have ordered GCMS twice and there was no difference between the two documents. Recently ordered CSIS and CBSA to confirm if I am in Security Screening but haven't received those yet!
I did had an extensive travel history (In U.S. Europe and Asia) but only as a tourist and had a U.S. visa cancellation during the starting of the Trump era due to not satisfying there country tie (Despite been travelled to U.S. for over 30 times and not staying more than a week or so, what a JOKE!). Anyways, I think due to these two reasons, my PR application might be taking longer than usual (Almost 8+ months). Looks like 50% of the application gets done in 4 months, 30% within 6 months, remaining unlucky 20% within 8-14 months.
Also, I came to Canada before turning 18, so they never asked me for PCC from my Home country, instead only asked me for my RCMP clearance. Can any of you relate to any of this (Travel history, Visa cancellation or RCMP request).
Thanks! Hope our long wait ends!
