Please note that Background Checks for January applications will be different than the ones submitted earlier.In the beginning of the week, I had lots of hope (Jan 29 AOR, PNP-O) on this week but as this week progresses hope is fading away fast. This morning, I was looking at the "https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application", on this week so far (24th Jun to 26th Jun), following is the trend on PPR:
Total PPR issued - 23
Oct' 2018 - 1
Dec' 2018 - 4
Jan' 2019 - 1
Feb' 2019 - 4
Mar' 2019 - 4
Apr' 2019 - 8
May' 2019 - 1
Now see the irony, most unfortunate lot is "January". It looks like they are keeping January applications pending and want to clear other months?? huh...waiting continues...
From Jan 1, 2019 on-wards Bio-metrics is mandatory, which I hope will improve / speed-up the Background Checking Process.
But you never know. Will need some data mining and analytics for that while comparing the IP2 to PPR timelines with previous months.
But the required data set (population) is not available for Jan 2019 .
