I finally got my application approved last Friday. Here is the timeline;

NSNP-CEC-EE INLAND

Sep 9, 2018 - AOR
Mar 2 - submitted for first GCMS note
Apr 3 - received GCMS note and found out "Eligibility Review Required"
Apr 3 - submitted for second GCMS note
Apr 8 - IRCC indicated my application is in Manila
Apr 11 - sent a message about the status via Webform
Apr 25 - sent email to IRCC MANILA directly asking about my application
Apr 26 - IRCC said they sent PPR on Apr 15 to my spouse's email but we couldn't find it (including spams)
+236 May 2 - PPR received from IRCC Manila (email, CIC message updated)
May 3 - Passport sent to Ottawa
+251 May 17 - Approved (CIC status updated as "Approved")
May 17 - Copr sent

It was a long journey to reach the goal but everything is on track now.
Basically, it took me to receive PPR only for 12 days after I received the first GCMS note.
If you know where your office is then should send an email directly. I found it's clearer.

Good luck everyone! Hang in there!

I got an ADR last week for updated bank statement and a proof that 401k funds are available and transferable.

I initially showed showed checking account with around 75% of the funds and for the remaining I got a letter from 401k managing firm about vested balance. However, I received a document request to provide proof from 401k managing firm that the funds are available and transferable. The 401k managing firm says they can only provide vested balance statement and other details about withdrawals and penalties should be available from employer’s plan documents. I have obtained the plan documents which talk about early withdrawal and extra 10% penalty in addition to taxes. Would the plan documents along with vested balance statement be sufficient documentation?

There’s another account in my spouse’s name that has enough funds to meet the required amount for our application. Since I am the primary applicant, what kind of documentation along with the bank statement would berequired to show funds in that account beingavailable for settlement purposes in Canada?

Hi mates,
(Aor 28 July 2018 // IP2 17 Nov 2018 // Ghost update 6 Dec 2018)
I was under SS since December 2018.
I got an update last friday and my Medical statut changed from "you passed the medical exam" to "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes."
I think this is a good sign after a big time of silence.
Do you think IRCC will ask for re-medical or this means they will extend my old medical exam??
much appreciated

hat was the format of your PPR ... ready for visa mail ? Kindly share ... i got update in my CIC account in form of ‘Information Letter’ in following format
The letter states the following:

Hi folks,

Got a document request from CIC asking for Schedule A, passport bio page, a new police clearance from since I submitted my application and then my height and eye color.

I found that last part a bit odd. Anyone was asked for their height and eye color before? I already cleared my bio-metrics and on the GCMS notes it shows no issues with the bio-metrics.

Thanks,
Anas

Hi All this is a survey for eligibility review required guys. Appreciate if you guys can fill up the details. It can help us, to analyze the tentative timeline of such applications with respect to VO and cause of review required

Yes for everything including height and eye colour but no police clearance. Your Copr will contain your height and eye colour actually in the letter.

Guys, I'm giving up hope. Today I received another ADR requesting the same additional family information form. This is the 3rd time I'm sending this form with the same details. Either CIC officials are too dumb to read the same thing or they don't plan on giving me PPR.
Wasted over 8months on this process and not counting the time allocated to get all the other documents ready.
Guessing I'm one of the unlucky ones.
I submitted the ADR a few minutes ago (my 4th ADR as of now).
But I'm not going to respond to any other ADRs going forward.
Truly pissed off and frustrated because I wasted my entire year obsessing over this and planning everything.
Good luck to everyone else waiting out there.
I'm done, they really did test my patience.

Man, your case is brutal.

But... did you try all options? How about hiring a lawyer? Did you call IRCC to ask about what's wrong with the form?

Also - why not apply for a temporary work visa in the meantime?

I am in the same boat. 8 months completed two weeks back, still no sign. No updates apart of med passed since my AOR..
