PR application processing at CIC Calgary

[kattarrina]

Called CIC today, got a very nice agent who told me:
Eligibility & Security not started yet... still the same status as of Dec.
Criminality in progress.
She also said that it could be that someone is working on it or it was done but never updated.

Slim chance of getting processed by due date...

Not sure if there is a point of ordering notes

Any updates on your applications?

Any updates on your applications?

Not yet, I had a ghost update about ten days ago. When I spoke to an agent via phone, she advised this was likely the agent updating something to do with my ADR, acknowledging it had been received and giving it the green light for the security check.
I’m pretty sure I’m in the security stage, not sure how long this takes but I have all my fingers crossed for good news soon.
I’ve watched two of my closest friends who applied weeks after me get their golden emails and it is hard to still be waiting! I can’t wait for us all to hear the good news

One question just comes to my mind. Do you guys know if your cases are in Calgary from the very beginning or were transferred there at some point. If it has been Calgary whole time, then 'cases with problems go there' doesn't make sense.

Besides, I guess a lot of applicants don't know their Visa Office, especially those within 6 months. So, if Calgary starts to process EE in large amount recently, people will not be aware of it, making our thread so less people?

Just my 2 cents. Best luck to you all!

My application was transferred from CIO to Vancouver after R10 and then 2 days later to Calgary.
I don't believe the story about Calgary being a VO for cases with problems.
It's just a random workload distribution
