Hi everyone! I just got the portal email!!! So happy! Thanks for all the help. It was vey nice to have this group. You all gonna get your portal email soon!

Timeline
Me and husband both inland
AOR: 21 august
Bio: you don’t need biometrics…. (like that since the beginning and never changed, old bio 2019)
UCI: changed after an email update 20 sep.
GU: no changes (don’t recall the date)
Medical: approved on 21 oct. (old medical 2019)
BG: we are processing… (since the beginning)
Portal e-mail: 23 oct.

Tips: I wouldn’t worry much about timeline changes in your profile, for what I’ve seen it depends a lot on the officer seeing your application. Some people get portal email with no changes at all, I jus got MEP two days before portal email…
* one thing I noticed it’s that people who claim points for overseas experience takes a little longer to process, my points were only for Canadian experience

I understand you. I was worried too that I didn't see changes in my profile as other people, but it seems to be very random... I believe some offices keep updating the profile regularly and other just don't, so it doesn't mean that you application is not going in the right direction. Its stressful I know but keep thinking positive!
My profile is as bellow right now, after portal email. Its been like that since day 1, the only change was on my medical two days ago and UCI number a month ago, nothing else has changed.

  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Hi,

CEC inland applicant.
CRS Score- 502
AOR- August 24
Medical passed: Sept 23
Biometric Letter: Sept 22 (submitted and updated on Sept 24)
GU1: Sept 24- this is when the biometric was added

BG: We are processing...

Question:
I recently changed jobs- from a job in Quebec to another that is based in Ontario. Do I need to update the CIC of this change? If so, what information should I provide them?

Thank you
