This is my first post in this forum.

I have applied through CEC stream, currently i am out of Canada and I have updated my current address through webform and same is updated in GCMS notes received last month.

Can you please help with below query received from cic today.

Dear Applicant,

Please kindly confirm you are currently here in Canada so that we may continue to process your permanent residence here in Canada.

If you are residing in Canada, please reply to this email to confirm? If you are out of the country, also reply to this email and let us know what arrangements are being made for your return?




Please suggest.

If you are in Canada then your will get a COPR from IRCC, if you re out of Canada, then you will be sent a PPR, and you will have to submit the passport at the VO in your country of residence.

Based on where you are, you should respond back and confirm so that your application can be processed accordingly.
Thanks @legalfalcon for quick response, but i am still not clear, what they mean by what arrangements are being made for your return?

and what should i reply to them. Are they referring about landing or anything else.

If can suggest that will be great.

If you are in Canada and the dependents outside Canada, then in those cases, you will receive a COPR and around the same time PPR will be sent to dependents.

What this asks is if you are returning back to Canada or not. If you have moved permanently, then inform IRCC accordingly, if you have plans to return, then IRCC when you will return and what arrangements you have for that.

Hi Guys I have this message in my application,

Your application is taking us longer than usual to process.

About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and how quickly you answer our requests and whether the application is complete.

I am not sure what it means. I didnt receive any update since November 13th when my biometrics was updated. The last time i called an agent he told me that everything was fine with my application and that it was all good. AOR: July 29TH

I have the same as well— my AOR is July 21st. Just as a curiosity, when they said it was all good, did they mean you’re approved or that you don’t need to give them anything more?

Hey all- I just got off the phone with IRCC- so Vancouver, BC inland application..... I asked what visa office my application is being processed in and they said Nova Scotia? I have no idea why or if this is making it slower. I asked what my status is and she said my eligibility is a full pass and they are checking my background.... AOR July 21st. This is tiring..

You can expect to see it in the next 24 Hours. Once you see it login via Firefox Browser to save the PDF's, as I was not able to get it in Chrome it gave me a hard time.
