I got news for you,
CEC 'n' PNP!
I'm right behind you!

I get the feeling that inland (CEC and PNP) are both processed in a totally different queue, based on how fast some of their PPRs come. That's why I have my MyImmiTracker report saved with only Outland displayed.

That is threatening.
I hope I get PPR.
It's agonizing.

It's pretty cool that
some peeps got their PPR.
I'd like one too, thanks.

Any correlation between a RPRF and an imminent PPR that may have been observed in the past (mid-2018) has been proven wrong just as many times in the recent past. The times have changed and there seems to be no link anymore.

Any comments on RPRF to PPR processing time. As per some post, they get the PPR request within one month.

I'd like to know your research behind this. I'm very interested because I'm at the other end of the spectrum with 100 trips reported (to roughly 35 countries). From private messages with about 20-odd other people with extensive travel histories (ETH) and a review of a dozen AOR forums, I found, predictably enough, that we cannot have one general theory about how IRCC treats ETH. There are a sufficient number of candidates who had reported 70+ trips and waltzed through the process. Equally, others speculated that an ETH held them back or was the reason why they were put into a security screening.

To add, the agent I spoke with at IRCC was of the opinion that there should be somewhat of a positive bias toward candidates who are seen to be entering/reentering certain geographies that are visa-based and selective (USA, Europe, Canada, etc.).

Research through people who reported to have got their PPR here faster than others.

80% of those did say they have 0 travel history!!! A few of them as you point out were citizens of EU and had not travelled anywhere outside Europe

 

[derkdsou]

You're making a bold theory that can easily be refuted. What do you say of candidates - and there are plenty - who have received a PPR without any perceptible delay despite an ETH? And what do you say of candidates that had very little or no travel to report and have been waiting 6+ months for their PPR?

As is generally the case with IRCC, the truly is inconveniently somewhere in between. According to the agent I spoke with, the foremost reason why someone faces an additional security screening is due to their name coming up on a watch list. I will speculate that IRCC/CSIS are interested in looking at the purpose of your travel and trying to find suspicious or erratic patterns (e.g., too many trips for tourism to the same destination), as well as assessing the risk profile of the countries you have visited and assigning you an overall risk score based on that.

P.S. I didn't say anything about being an EU citizen.

Hi All,

I have submitted my application in December. I currently stay in US, and my visa status changed after I submitted my application. Did anyone had similar experience? Do we need to update CIC? I called IRCC but could not get any answer regarding this. Please let me know if there is a way I can send my updated visa copy, if required. Thank you!

 

[derkdsou]

What did the IRCC agent say exactly? I would follow their direction to either do nothing or send through a scan of your new visa via CSE.

Please let me know if there is a way I can send my updated visa copy, if required. Thank you!

Hey guys my timeline is as follows

AOR: Dec 21, 2018
MEP: no update yet

I received an email today as follows:

'Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your account and check your application status and messages for more information.'

I logged into my account only to find no changes except that my progress bar says 4 months remaining.

Could someone advice as to why I would have received that email today?

Your help is much appreciated. Thanks!

That's very odd. That seems you're in IP1 without having gone through MEP. You might want to contact IRCC (see my signature) and ask what's up with your medical.

 

[derkdsou]

I'm going to guess s/he has an MEP already and the IP1 email just jumped the gun? Maybe the MEP will show up in the next 24-48 hours...followed by or at the same time as a change in their BG status to IP1.

Thanks @USProgrammer !

Yes that does seem pretty odd. I will contact them tomorrow. My medical was done back in november, and I had called up the clinic to ask about the same. They told me that my medical was sent to CIC on Dec 08, 2018 and that there was no issues with my medical.

@joelpauljames713

@derkdsou I hope so too. I've requested CIC to add my spouse into the application as well (My marriage was post AOR on Jan 3, 2019) by raising a CSE, which I am yet to be updated on.

 

[joelpauljames713]

@derkdsou You are right!

My Account says:

'Background check: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.'

Which I believe is IP1?

 

[rahul247rocks]

I got a schedule A on Saturday. Uploaded it. Now it says Additional Document: Not applicable.

Background Check: We are processing
Medicals: passed
