Hello there October applicants. Just curious, has anyone here been asked for an ADR after the passing of the 6 months mark?
I have been asked three days ago ( Military information), we passed 6 months on April 30th.

Silent reader here, but since I got my COPR, I thought I would share my timeline :)
FSW single applicant from Poland, processing visa office was Ottawa, COPR issued in Warsaw, Poland
AOR 4th October
Medicals passed: October 31st
Eligibility Reviewed: 14th November
Background check: November 20th
Biometrics: November sometime (I don't remember exactly)
No ghost updates since November
Called and emailed IRCC a few times between February and May - standard replies, nobody was able to tell me anything, they said background checks took longer than expected etc. Last reply was May 18th, still not giving any details
PPR: June 3rd
Passport copies delivered to Warsaw Office: June 6th
Profile Updated/COPR returned: June 12th, also my old eTA was cancelled and I was automatically issued a new one for 5 years today.

Even though I wasn't active on this forum, thanks to everybody for their input, I got a great amount of useful information here.

Now I have a single question to ask. I'm planning to live in Vancouver, BC but my best connecting flight is via Montreal, QC. Can I do the 'landing' at YUL airport during my connection and continue to Vancouver on a domestic flight? I will be providing a BC address for my PR card to arrive and I'm moving in with my brother in Vancouver, not even planning to exit the airport in Montreal.
Thank you and good luck everybody, my application took exactly 8 months and I know the wait is killing everybody but I'm sure you guys will all get it soon!

Congrats.
Yes you can connect in Montreal and continue to Vancouver, so long you don't stay in Montreal or exit the airport.

Hi everyone,

I just received my GCMS notes and it seems I have review required for my job duties- they are not consistent with the NOC. As far as I can tell, they are the exact same just worded differently. What’s the best way to proceed in this case? Should I have my employer write out another letter and upload that one?

Feeling a little stressed! Any information would help! Thanks

My girlfriend has got PR visa and COPR whereas my fIle is under Review required.
Can she add me as non accompanying dependent and travel to Canada alone? How will it affect any of our applications? Can anyone tell the procedure and time it takes?

If imI a non-accompanying dependent can I travel to Canada as a tourist and will I get open work permit as being married to a permanent resident of Canada?

Hello all, please I need clarification . The Medicals, when does it expire, is it a year from when it was done, or when one is officially informed that it was passed. I have always thought it was the former, but thought I read some things on this forum suggesting otherwise. Kindly help. Thanks

It finally came! Last night, after 7pm, weirdly.
AOR October 8
Medical passed in November, everything else processing.
No other emails and updates at all, no ghost updates.
Single applicant, USA
PPR email June 10
I've called them twice, but it's been about three weeks since my last contact with them. It was a nice surprise.
Congrats @dmariez ! What is your NOC and your citizenship? Where were you asked to send the Passport to? I just want to track the current processing times for VFS in USA? I've sent mine to LA last week and no update since then.

Hello all,
My AOR is 17/10/2018
I received the golden email on 10/6/2019 but I checked it only yesterday. The mail says that the passports have to reach Delhi in 30 days. There is a change in my situation that a child was born to my wife and I recently. I have raised a web form intimating IRCC about it but that was only after receiving PPR (although I had not even seen the golden mail by then). I have written a mail to CPC Ottawa (my Visa office) on CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca (please let me know if the email address is correct).
Please suggest what can I do apart from awaiting a response which my take time and only about 25 days are left for the 30 day period to lapse.

even i have same note..inconsistent NOC...i talked to a lawyer..he advised to refrain from sending any new duty letter..that will make them think u lied the first time...if u r confident thatvur existing duty letter matches NOC, i would advise u to not set new duty letter...i am veru worried because my local consultant chose 2147 noc after seeing my duties but i always had confusion between 2281 and 2147..now after seeing RR i feel i should have gone with 2281

Yes, that’s what I’m concerned about. But I read on a different forum that you can upload an LOE along with the new letter explaining why you changed the letter and they successfully avoided a rejection by doing so. Has anybody else on this forum uploaded a new letter after GCMS and gotten approved after that?

I can categorically tell you that i have witnessed both scenarios. I know someone whose application was rejected after 9 months due to inconsistent NOC. It was written that she got ITA based on the NOC that was not correct.
While another person raised a CSE after seeing in his GCMS that his NOC was being questioned. At the end he got PPR. So please.......RAISE A GCMS NOW!!!

Great thank you! About the first scenario, do you know if the person who got rejected had raised a CSE prior to getting rejected?
