It is kind of hard to explain but let just say I am an Australian so I guess staying at where I am isn't bad compare to Canada.
I am a Kiwi...Working in Sydney since last 6 years....Still planning to move to Canada and live there for few years as I absolutely loved it when I traveled around North America for about 10 months few years ago....

I don't want it come to the time when they grand the visa and I don't provide document that need and it can be bad so rather get it over so I can have a good sleep if you know what i mean.

Upto you Mate....If you have ordered GCMS notes and nothing is review required then it is just a matter of time before you get PR...if anything is review required then you can provide documentation for that....otherwise your call...

It is all good on the note, nothing to review. This decision is just me. I can't handle it anymore, plus my family want me to stay as well.

Can confirm that Sydney is so slow, my application hasn't been handled since October 11, 2018.

Ideally yes. But whats eligibility status.. in progress or reveiw required?
Was that eligibility not met or eligibility not met "yet"... Huge difference....I hope it is latter....
Unfortunately, I was not able to ask if eligibility is in progress or RR. She just said that eligibility has not been met yet and the application is for review. I assume this is related to their response to my previous CSE - my application is in queue for an officer's review.

Im already so anxious and with the delays plus no definite time on when they will give their decision, Im starting to think if moving on with my life or a plan B would be best.

Me. They have asked me to call on Mar 17th
Hope you can update us if there's truth behind this new "deadline" :)

It's your decision and so good luck, mate. But it's quite a pity I think. Because I've heard from people who apply to Australia and USA and the wait and procedures there are even worse.

Srg for the lame question... could you tell me, how do recognize a ghost update in application? i mean did u receive a message in ur account or steps statua changes or anything else? Thanks
So when you log in to your profile you see “Application/Profile Updated”. Then you click and see no change within the application.

my application is in queue for an officer's review.
That could mean your are very close to PR or you are months away from it...I would suggest order GCMS notes to get clear status...

I feel you mate, its been almost a year for you in this process - all this waiting and then you see DEC AORs getting PPR while you wait for a small update on your application - really really sucks.
Its true that some people here have waited for years also, but everyone's reason for applying for this Canada PR is different. This 8 month, 1 year, 2 year wait is just not worth it for everyone. To each his own, I guess. All the best.

You're not waiting for nothing, I want to believe the wait is worth it

Hi everyone and good luck with your respective applications. I received my AOR on August 4th but since then my status has not changed from " We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.". And i have passed my medical and background check is in progress.

But this has stayed the same since November. Is this normal?

Any advice? I have just applied for GCMS and have just raised a CSE today. But beyond this is there anything I can do to expidite?

Thanks,
This is the standard status that you get on your account. Try to call IRCC and check what is the exact status if you want . You can also raise a web form (CSE) and ask for some info. Thought the responses to CSEs are mostly generic, there are chances that you might get some info.

CIO: Sydney, NS
MED / IP1: September 6, 2018
Eligibility: Met
Background Check: Not started
Security Check: Not started

Request to withdraw my application: 04/03/2019
Reason to withdraw:

  • Over 6 months without any update since Medical Passed on 06/09/2018
  • The file hasn't been touched since 15/10/2018 according to GCMS note
  • Very poor experience with the way immigration department handling application by randomly pick & process hence I don't think Canada will be any good for me
I wish all the best to everyone who still waiting for the VISA.

Regards,
Did I just read what you have written ? You withdrew your appl after making so much effort on getting the MPNP!! I hope you did consult someone before taking this step, cause it doesnt make much of sense to me, sorry to say that. Its a life decision that you take when you decide to immigrate permanently, shouldn't give up so easy. There are many on the forum who waited for more than 3 years to get there application completed.

But its your life and you must have thought through. All the best for the future.
