Atlantic Immigration Pilot Programme (AIPP)
- Thread starter Emmashady
- Start date
My journey for canadian PR is finally complete.
I landed on 13-09-2019 at toronto pearson. As one of my associate got PR fast under AIPP i was expecting it soon too. I had all my stuff already packed into proper dimension bags. When i got my COPR i booked my flight right away. I had already prepared BSF186 forms. After the long flight i landed at toronto pearson. Self declaration kiosk took a picture and gave a slip. Then i was directed to cbsa. He asked general questions like have you ever been refused entry to canada? Etc then he sent me to a direction where all landed immigrants were waiting to validate copr by officer. My turn came within 5 minutes. The officer greeted and asked for passport and copr. She was very friendly and processed my validation within 5 minutes. Then she asked for canadian address where i should get my PR card. I gave her the address. She updated my PR card application and told me that you can attach “PR Card application” with mycic after i am done with copr validation. No questions were asked and noone asked for bsf186 forms. There were 2-4 people from my flight who were asked for those forms and their bags were opened for inspection. After picking up my luggage i opened mycic and tried attaching PR card application with UCI and i was successful.

Hi connectuae,
Congratulations to u. I would like to ask what Noc and sector are u? And From which country youre applying from? Thanks
My noc is 2174. I applied from UAE, my application was processed by london visa office.Hi connectuae,
Congratulations to u. I would like to ask what Noc and sector are u? And From which country youre applying from? Thanks
Thanks. But just wondering why london visa office processed your app? All aipp apps to be send to sydney, NS right?
For paper PR applications sydney,n.s. is primary office. After file is transferred to GCMS system it is assigned local visa office where further processing takes place,which issues PPR,VISA and COPRThanks. But just wondering why london visa office processed your app? All aipp apps to be send to sydney, NS right?
So it depends on sydney office which local visa office they will transfer your app? Did u go upfront medical?
Hi Connectuae,
I have another question:
Im currently working and living here in Qatar, the situation of my company here is not that good so anytime soon they will no longer need my service but i dont know when it will be. All my current address i put in the PR forms were my address here in Qatar, my question is what if all my documents were submitted to IRCC then in the midst of the processing I returned back to the Philippines. How will I notify or inform IRCC about this? Is there any effect on the duration of processing approval of my pr app?
Thank you
You have to update your residential and mailing address in your application through a webformHi Connectuae,

But the thing is If you update your address before AOR and go back to your home country your application will be processed by ‘manila’ visa office. But if you move after AOR then maybe they will change your visa office from london to manila afterwards. After you update your request you will receive PPR from the local visa office where you are currently residing.
Hi @Connectuae , as you are always helpful here, I decided to raise one more question you might know. On previous posts you've mentioned that you read many GCMS notes. Do you remember how long it was taking from the pre-arrival letter to the PPR stage for inland applicants? I'm just anxious as I have friends who got the PPR one week after pre-arrival and I'm still waiting after few weeks. Thanks in advance! (And happy for you)
As an inland applicant its better to call cic and ask for criminality,eligibility,security have been passed? And if the “decision made” has happened. PPR is only initiated after ‘DM-decision made” As inland visa office has to send PPR they have huge workload it can take upto 1-6 weeks after DM to get PPR
