How long has it been? You will get a response.

Its been over 10 days now. Let's see. I think it could take upto a month.

 

[HA1986]

don't know. Also I am so suprised all my ghost updates occured at night time like after 10 pm , even in the middle of the night. Who press the button? LOL. Might be a glitch...don't know.

Reminds me of the tv show "LOST" when they're all curious about what's in the hatch and the light comes on.

Can anyone suggest any Canada virtual calling app that is free or has very nominal plans to call Canada ? TextMe charges INR 500 every week like INR 2000 per month to keep the subscription active which is very high.
Looking For free or budget virtual calling options from INDIA ????

@legalfalcon please help

It looks good, as regards RR, if you have answered any stat questions, that will be there, but apart from that, your A11.2 (eligibility) R76 & 75, FSW and MEC are all met.

Now your eligibility will be reviewed by an officer who will make a final determination on it.

See my previous post on how eligibility will look like in your GCMS at #4,004

After the eligibility is passed, your security will be initiated, which at an average takes 110 days, to read ore on security, and how it is done see https://bit.ly/2YcGQLI

Fongo - pay onetime Rs 399.
While signing select Canada & get a Canadian number assigned.

It has been working well thus far.

Hi @legalfalcon

I understand there is no time frame for criminality , but is there any approx. time based on similar inland cases and your observations ? last time agent told me that eligibility passed , criminality in progress (half is completed).

Please advise.

 

[blackknight12]

Oh I didn't know that. You based in UAE too?

My COR is Pakistan, but all Middle East files went to London VO. And its apparently closed due to lockdown, you can call IRCC to verify because sometimes files are kept in Ottawa and sometimes moved to Abu Dhabi VO (that was in 2017/18) but its best to call and enquire VO because from now on the VO processing times will matter a lot, as we see our friends from Accra VO are getting PPRs in less than 100 days.

The processing details are for an entire application, not for individual stages, except security, where the average is 110 days.

If your eligibility is passed, you are out of the woods. As regards Criminality, it is based on your biometrics and RCMP who runs them though their system.

See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/corporate-initiatives/biometrics/process-steps-2018.html

Unless there is input back from RCMP, IRCC cannot do anything.

Biometrics are also used for info-sharing.

As per the average time lines, you are no were close to the average timeline, so have patience.


As per IRCC's annual 2019 annual report it takes 8-9 months for an application to process. This was pre-COVID
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/annual-report-parliament-immigration-2019.html

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?
Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Table 35: Processing Times for Express Entry applications finalized by year and immigration category, in months

Program	2017	2018	2019
Canadian Experience Class	4	5	7
Federal Skilled Worker	4	6	9
Provincial/Territorial Nominee	6	6	9
Federal Skilled Trades	6	7	12
All Programs	5	5	8

Source: CIC_EDW (MBR) as of January 3, 2020
Data is operational and as such should be considered preliminary and subject to change.

• Processing times refer to the time in which 80% of applications were finalized by IRCC. The processing time is measured from the day a complete application is received until the time a final decision is made by an immigration officer.
