Friend, first of all, don't lose patience.
If your eligibility is cleared it means you have crossed the biggest huddle.
Criminality generally does not take much time as it is based on PCC (Time depends on number of PCCs you have)
Security will take 2-12 months.
If your security/ Background check is processing, please don't order gcms as all the security-related information is retracted. You need to order CBSA and CSIS notes to know about securiy

Agent told that eligibility is met but criminality and security has not started yet...so should I go for gcms or cbsa/csis ?

You should wait for sometime, after eligibility is met, the offer will review and make it pass.
Wait for a week and then calll the agent to know the status. At this point even if you order notes you should order CBSA the reason is both the notes are almost the same but CBSA will have security section included (Just in case your security has started).

Lately so many cases from Nov Dec have eligibility recommended pass but the final review is not done. In my case file got moved to London last month and again silence.

Hi All,
I have been a Silent reader, was lucky with a RFV mail on the 24th May dated 23rd May...my details are as follows
ITA: 15th Oct 2018
AOR: 21st Nov 2018
IP1/MEP: 28th Dec 2018
IP2: 22nd May 2019
I had no updates till 21st of May post moving to IP1 in Dec, after following this group I called up IRCC some 5 times between May 1st to 15th... Was super frustrated as each one of the agent said different things and the last one was being super rude to me quoting the dates that I had called... Was absolutely frustrated as I had moved on from my Job in Jan this year and did not attempt to get a new one as I thought it would be injustice to the new firm that I join, I am an Indian national been loving in UK for last 2 yrs plus and have travelled a lot across the globe. Luckily for me things moved fast post my background check started on 22nd May. All this while I had thought the process would get over for me by Mar , happened late but still sweet.... Have got a lot of info from the group and motivation as well... Hang on guys!!! Patience has never been my virtue, this process has thought me that for sure...
der aaye par durust aaye... Shabbat Khair...

Ho, I submitted my passports last Saturday at VFS Hyderabad, yes consent forms are needed, two consent forms per applicant, if you don’t carry, they will give you the same, yes passport xerox copy is required(they asked me the first and the last page) photograph service is available there,
No need to carry any envelope, and yes carry cash with you. No other documents apart from the ones you mentioned are required. Yes walk-ins are allowed.

For the consent form, i believe i'l have to fill only the 2nd page. 3rd page consists of consent for indirect submission and for applicants assisted by the CVAC staff and the 4th page page is about biometrics, are we supposed to provide it? My IRCC account says we do not need your fingerprints.

What was the exact amount required per applicant? I don't plan to opt for courier services, i'll subscribe for the SMS notification and collect the COPR.

VFS Canada at Hyderabad is the one located at Banjara Hills, correct? and please post here when you receive the COPR.

I understand its frustrating, but the only option is to wait and be patient.

Hello, we are indeed in the same situation

My AOR is 19 Nov. I got three ghost updates last week. I was initially in 1p2 n after the update I moved to 1p1 then back to Ip2 again. I called and they said eligibility has been passed and security not started. Called on Wednesday and the agent said everything is fine and they have sent a mail to the Accra VO to issue the RFV letter and it will drop anytime.

I am surprised though because my VO is Ottawa so why is Accra issuing the PPR.

Hi Everyone,
I am a silent reader ......... don't worry, not here to share my PPR news yet Got lots of information in this forum, so thought of giving a unique info I received day before yesterday, after calling IRCC for the first time. My timeline is as follows -

AOR: 9th Nov
MEP: 10th Dec
IP2 : 2nd May
RPRF Request : Same day, 2nd May, later in the night. Payment done on the same day.
Ghost Update 3rd May: Review Document became Not Applicable, so not sure if I can call it a real ghost

No update since then. Raised a CSE on 10th May and got the below reply on 16th May -

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We verified the information you provided and can confirm that a decision has been made on the application. Rest assured that the responsible office will contact you by mail or email to provide you with that decision.

We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.

Kept waiting for PPR for 1 more week, then finally called IRCC on 22nd. The agent congratulate me saying my file has been approved. However I may have to wait till June 1st / 2nd week since some entries were not made in the system and there are some backlog. Also I got to know my VO is Ottawa. However I saw many people getting PPR from Ottawa where the files were updated after my decision was made. Still they managed to get PPR while we are hanging in the middle.

Just wanted to inform you guys, it may take upto a month to get the PPR even after your application is approved.

 

[scargee]

You just completed 6 months right?

I don't think it will be long wait for you. Most likely you may get PPR in the next batch.

The worrying signs are for those who have crossed 190/200 days

Anyways, your withdrawal request will only be considered if your case is pending processing. My withdrawal request was denied because my case is in final stages as BG checks are in progress. Unfortunately, no one knows when these BG checks ends.

As per the agent my next bring forward date is June 11, 2019. If a decision is not made by then I may have to wait till August

I'm at 185 days and now I'm worried. I really don't get it why PNP applicants take too long when the province has already checked our applications thus giving us a nomination. Shouldn't the process for PNP applicants be quicker since it was already reviewed by the province? Sigh.

I'm getting my hopes from you @SithLord so I'll also keep hanging on!

PNP over 180 days too! I am going to put thoughts of PPR aside and look for some meaningful things

And your VO is Sydney, NS right? I believe mine is at Sydney too..

Let's continue to pray that they pick up our files and PPR will come for us soon!

I had read the article before, but not the comments. Disheartening to see such misinformation and hatred.

24th may 2019 was last day of my 6 month period. As the norm i called CIC - they quoted that day is still left. Call us back on Monday and we will take action against immigration department... have any one received a similar reply and do you think call centre people could do something now. BG check is left.
