Howdy!

So I've finally gone and created an account after silently lurking in this thread since ~November. You obviously don't know me, but I feel like I know most of you and have been an invisible passenger and loyal groupie for all your tumultuous journeys towards PR. I've shared your excitement, your frustration, the impatience, despair and anxiety every step of the way. The multi-daily GCKey account checks, the missed heartbeats with every new email notification, the awkward questions from family and friends about why I'm still here weeks after I told them I'd be in Canada... oh and don't get me started on Mathew.

Can I be honest with you guys? I didn't want to sign up here, not because you don't all seem like the coolest humans (which you totally do) but because I felt signing up would be an admission that my visa wasn't going to arrive on time, or even any time soon. A feeling I've held onto every minute since my 6 months post-AOR came and went in December; but this is it. Another week ends, I've hit my low point and I need to vent.

Maybe I should have opened by standing up and declaring "My name is ____ and I'm a PR-oholic" because this thread and the wider forum feel like a support group for an obsession that is steadily eating away at my soul and taking years off my life expectancy. The wait has become insufferable, but at least I know I'm not the only one still waiting. Still, feeling completely powerless, sucks huh?

FSW-O UK, AOR June 17th single applicant, no proper updates at all since medical passed on June 30th. Oh, well, I did get a pretty sweet progress bar to stare at (it has broken through the edge of my computer screen and just keeps going). Like many others I thought my application was pretty straightforward and I'd get my COPR within a couple of months, and certainly not longer than the 6 month deadline!

"Oh, sweet summer child" I hear you say and yeah sure, that was all before I started reading this forum and discovered that IRCC is just chaos. After my second call to them I found out I've been relegated to the dreaded "Review Required" dimension, despite being told after my first call that everything was fine, which either means I was lied to or they hadn't looked at my application at all in the first 6 months (either scenario is kinda not great).

The RR is for LOE duties, which my ex-employer refused to provide on the letter when I asked for it 8 months ago because it was against their policy. I didn't cause a fuss because the duties for my line of work are very distinct will be more-or-less the same for every country on the planet so I thought it was self-explanatory and that anyone looking at my application might apply common sense but I guess that didn't happen, so here I am. smh, as they say. After much begging and pleading I got an updated letter and submitted it, but still not even a hint of progress.

236 days in with no end in sight beyond the brick wall I'm banging my head against. It could be next Monday, it could be another 6 months, who knows? Isn't this fun? Attempting to communicate with IRCC is like shouting into a black hole. Blood from a stone and all that.

Anyway, I have a contact in Canada and I'm going to get them to apply for my GCMS notes this weekend because this feels like the only thing left to do before I get carted off to the asylum.

Cheers guys

Oh, Agent Mathew.

I really hope I never meet him in person. There is a fair chance I will be kicked out of Canada if I do!

That is the worst part of it. We have to apply for new permit. pay 255$. we are gonna be without health card or sin number till the time that the BOWP arrives, cuz apparently BOWP also takes at least 3 months these days

Then you have to use a third party group that applies for your, but it has some costs. You can use either of these two website getgcms and gcmsbuddy. Google them and you can find tons of information about them.
Anyways, I don't recommend getting CBSA notes unless you see some red flags in your GCMS notes reflecting that you are under SS. Have you ever applied for GCMS notes?

Mine won’t expire until end of May, I want to apply now just to be safe. But it is tempting to just risk it and hopefully PR arrives soon.

My edits

Dear Officer,

I write this letter of explanation to provide some clarity on the review required seen on my recently generated GCMS notes for proof of funds.
My GCMS Notes generated on 9th Jan 2019 shows that my eligibility is review required because of proof of funds as the Bank Letter shows my savings account number followed by 11 different fixed deposit account numbers.

I'd like to use this opportunity to confirm that the 11 Fixed deposit Account Numbers that were the reason for concern are numbers assigned by the Bank when Fixed Deposits are generated on different dates, and are not individual bank accounts .

Each of the Fixed Deposits were generated from the same Savings Account (Account number: xxxxxx) mentioned in the letter and upon maturity/liquidation, these amounts are usually deposited in the same Savings Account (account number: xxxxx).
I have attached to this letter of explanation for ease of reference, a current Bank Letter with the savings account number (Account number: xxxxx) and the Scanned copies of the 11 Fixed Deposits certificates showing my name and the Savings Account number from which they were generated.

Application No. .......
Surname and Given Name........
Date Of Birth...............
UCI Number........

(Ensure the bank letter and FD certificates are merged in the same pdf document as this letter of explanation)

WELLDONE TOBS
