46 days since approval, still no email.
Finally today I got my MP involved. Let's see what happens and if they can actually help speed things up a bit.
Hello all.
I can see that a lot of you folks had your files approved, but no email on ppr. You all are planning to go to your local MP. What is the process for this, can I know the steps please. FYI, I don't have a clue on my file, no inputs from IRCC after medicals passed in Nov 2019. AOR 28TH OCT.
I have the similar situation. Can you please tell me what this MP being involved thing is?
Hi, it's very simple. Find out who the Member of the Parliament is where you live and call their office. Explain your case and they'll get in touch with IRCC to find out more details.
They will ask you to provide all the information such as: UCI, Application #, place and date of birth, address.
Find out who your local Member of the Parliament is and get in touch. They'll be able to contact IRCC and request more info on why things are delayed or to ask on your behalf for things to speed up. I decided to do it cause the pressure at my work. I may lose my job if my status doesn't change soon, as they cannot legally put me in their budget past my WP expiry date.
Hello there, I contacted my MP but they weren't helpful in anyway! They just confirmed the status I gave them and informed me that I had to wait till mid June for my file to be touched by an officer. I already passed the 6 months. My file was transferred from Montreal to Ottawa on May 7 and no progress has been done. I am literally angry at this luck game. It all depends on the officer who handles your case. No fairness at all.
Wanted to share this on montreal forum

That is terrible. Hopefully you will get it. You can try one more thing , get their fax or email from cic and contact directly.
Nice one! Congrats! Just noticed we have the same file transfer dates of 22nd November, AOR 17th September (close). Inland applicant. Noticed a ghost update on the 21st of May and ADR request on the 24th.
Good luck in your endeavors.
Hello @cansha, trust you well. I need your advise and that of the gurus in the house. I have just received an email from IRCC requesting for Biometrics for my dependent who is already residing here with me on a TRV. She already had her biometrics done last year and it’s updated on the PR application against her UCI number. Now, the letter states that if she is already in Canada then she has to leave to have her biometrics taken.
Is this normal. Did anyone else have thesame issue? This is extremely tiring.

Hey I know this question is for @cansha but someone on the Whatsapp group has also had an issue like this an ultimately I think it is based on your cuntry of citizenship. The person was in canada and had to travel back home o get his fingerprints and so to answer your question yes, Isomeone has had that issue before
Can you raise a CSE with IRCC and re-check if this is accurate? It might be an error because I have heard of people being asked to leave and get biometrics done, but not sure if they had it already done before being requested again?
I was requested an RCMP check though.
Edit: Looks like this has happened to people
