I am a bit anxious because my PGWP is expiring in July, I was hoping that PR can be approved before then, but if this drags on I guess i will have to apply for bridging work permit... oh well...

I just had to apply an extension for my visitors visa. It is what it is but you're not alone in this. Also, my medical is expiring this fall so I do hope I get it before that! But who knows right...
That's a bit of false statement since they are processing applicants even all the way from September, maybe even from August 2019 and backwards. So it is random. Whoever has a "simple" application, do well. I know for fact mine takes long because I visited so many countries (I run out of space on my application before AOR and the system just told me to remove the older ones and add the new ones).
The general rule is no biometric required for nonaccompanying dependents, but as I understood it is the discretion of the office processing your application. My LVO also asked for biometric for my nonaccompanying spouse. Although in my case, they first asked me to pay it.
did you visit those countries for a long time? I have only stated one other country that i visited for less than a month...
what other factors make your application "less simple"? :3
Doesn't matter how long time I visited, I still have to mention them. I have also lived in four countries, which means I have so many addresses I have lived in the past 10 years. I have Canadian experience and I didn't get paid in Canada so that was a big one... But I met the eligibility requirements under CEC so that's great
That makes sense. The officers discretion. My wife was denied dependent visa for US twice. May be it has something to do with it. Weird part is they never asked me to pay for it.
Where did you get the request for payment? did you get an email about it? or your portal was updated? I just want to make sure that I did not miss some update.
The first time the request was via the MyCic portal. I got an email from the system that they are waiting for my action, so I logged into the portal and found the message with the attachment. However, the ADR document I received didn't mention the biometric payment is for my spouse, so I showed them my biometric payment receipt. A month later the request came from my LVO via email this time clarifying that it was for my spouse biometric payment.
I have made a webform request to explain why they need my spouses biometrics. I will make a payment anyway if they don't reply and wait for VFS offices to open in India. Better to just give it rather than to deny them biometrics and get my application rejected.
Hi all,
I applied for GCMS notes back on May 20 and received them June 9. I saw that the Case Analyst put recommend pass (march 3) and above that I saw Officer review (May 15). It seems that basically everything was passed. I saw that all requirements were met and the file is ready for approval. Does that mean that I’m basically waiting for PPR? Would just like to clarify this. I know I’m not getting it any time soon due to covid-19. Just wanted to know if I’m in the clear. Btw I’m FSW-O

Same Scenario here.. FSWO
Even the GCMS says application sent for COPR printing back on feb 26 2020.. but file is untouched since then coz of covid 19..
Oh wow you were even closer than me. If covid 19 had happened a little later you would have definitely gotten copr.
