Hong Kong timeline

Good news!
My husband got PPR email from HK VO yesterday, and we sent his passport out right after. However his GCKey account is still remaining the same status, I guess it'll change once we get the passport back. The whole process took 1 year and 9 days.
Hope everybody will have good news soon

I’m not sure if the pre-arrival is related to the request for docs. Does it mean our docs were approved? We uploaded in mid Dec.

I got Pre Arrival Dec 17 and have been waiting anxiously for DM but it hasn't come yet. However, we got this today directly to our email:

Access services that other newcomers have found useful / Accès à des services que d’autres nouveaux arrivants ont trouvé utiles

Did you know that services for newcomers are available to you right now?
You don’t have to wait until you’re in Canada to access our services for newcomers.
There are many things to do when moving to a new country. It can help to have someone to answer your questions before you even arrive. If you are outside Canada, services are available at no cost to you and can offer that support. For example, they can help you

• prepare for your move to Canada
• get your education, work experience and credentials recognized in Canada
• connect you with employers to find a job
• connect with other free services after you arrive in Canada


What is this and what does this mean? We still haven't got bulletin 2 and our GCKey background check section still says "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check."

Will they actually say when they start the check? If the Pre Arrival meant our relationship was approved then background check would be the only step left.

Any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated

I think they are still processing the background check section. Did you click on the links in the pre-arrival letter and try to use their services?

You may search in the forum. As I remember, some applicants discussed whether they need to click on the links and whether any impact occurs if not.

Hopefully other applicants who had similar experiences will give you some advice.

Hello! We have just received the same request "proof of intent to live in Canada". It's a procedural fairness, correct? Do you mind sharing with me what information you have provided? I am currently working on providing proof of residential, bills, statements. Also a letter explaining all. However, I cannot find the area to upload this information on CIC. Did you come across the same problem? Thank you!

That is not the pre arrival letter.

 

[salmonarm]

That is not the pre arrival letter.

I'm aware. Hence I said we got the Pre Arrival letter on Dec 17th then just got the other thing "today".

Yes, they will tell you when your background check is started. It will be something like "We started your background check and we will let you know if we need more information from you..."

No, that is not procedural fairness which would be one step before fully denial. This is just to ask you provide intent that an abroad Canadian citizen who sponsors his/her spouse for Canadian PR to prove that they both would return to Canada to live if PR is approved for spouse.
