Quick weekly round-up:

If you have any feedback on this report please PM me.

If you find this status update useful please click [LIKE] - thank you in advance.



Current PPR stats:


Current processing:


Statuses by month:
*Jan/Feb pretty much cleared. March - april are getting cleared too, but slower. There was a slow down in April-May which we can see observe now.


Background check statuses by month:
*IP 1 is a leader.


PPR Trend
We can see, quite clearly, that number of PPRs issued daily decreased since Summer. Why? I don't know.


Average processing time:
*the peak was in Sep-Oct with 219 on average, now going back to Aug-July-June time of about 180 days on average.


Average by province:
*Alberta and NS - you guys lucky. NB - its sucks, 1.5 years average processing time. MB - follows suite.


Average by VO:
*If you are in Manila, your gonna wait long. Otherwise, within average timeframes.


Average by nationality:
*this is steady,Iran and Zimbabwe being leader of the last few weeks with highest waiting time.


Average by family size:
Highlighting: average waiting time doesn't really depend on how many dependents you have.


Now more general stats:

Applicants by stream this year:


ADRs
As we can see the number of ADRs is somewhat downward, as applicants get more familiar with the EE processes, most of the documents are uploaded at the getgo. Additionally, summer seem to be a time when CO don't want to request too much.



Number of applicants by year
*strangely enough the number of applicants is somewhat stabilized, despite expected growth. Good news with about 60000 Express Entry invites annually, tracker will see about 10% reported cases, which makes stats pretty reliable.



Thanks very much everyone! and enjoy your weekend!

Ping me with questions and good luck with you application

Hi Andy,

Today when I called CIC, they said my first part of eligibility has been met and they are yet to start my other part of eligibility. What does this mean??

Thank You!

Thank You!
Generally: It goes through 3 steps.
1. Assistant. R10 is ok
2. Analyst. Met.
3. Officer. Recommended passed.

So i recon, met is not the same as recommended passed. I am not 100% sure.

What happens in a local visa office??
Assumed:

6. BG IP(2) - Background Check in Progress for the second time - This is the stage wherein the LVO opens the file to check your entire application and confirm the notes and insights from the CIO agent. Eg. proof of funds, letter of employment, if any; This usually happens after all the security, criminality and eligibility is all okay. and at around the 4 months mark from the eAOR.

Hi Team,
I am in desperate need of your support.I had filed my application on 22nd August 2019 through my immigration lawyer.My husband resides in India and I am on valid workpermit in Canada.
Today my lawyer received a rejection email stating that we did not provide my husband's biometric as requested on September 12th,where as we never have received any such email from CIC.
My lawyer has sent an email to CPC Ottawa to reopen the case.
What are the chances?I can not wait another couple of months to resubmit a new application and start the process from beginning again.
Please suggest what can be done from my end to reopen the case.

i think chances are good, if it can be proven that BIL was never sent, who should have received it? You agent?
