Last-to-final update: PR cards "mailed" today, 28 September. Partner's application showed a ghost update on 26 September and was approved today. I confirmed the status of my application over the phone.

You can reply at any time without jeopardizing your current status. It's only after going through the portal process to land that it gets tricky. Until you land (get your eCOPR), your work permit and TRV are still valid. But once you get your eCOPR, both your work permit and TRV are invalidated...

I imagine you'll hear something next week :)

You need both. Your proof of funds indicates that if you lost your job, you would have sufficient cash to support yourself for some time, while the job letter satisfies any job offer or work experience requirements.

I don't know what you've all heard but you're setting yourself up for a world of hurt of you import a vehicle (temporarily or permanently) from the US to Canada without exporting it first. If you later return (move back) to the US with your Canadian plates you are expected to *reimport* the...

I think it was CIO-Sydney, with a secondary at CPC-Ottawa, but the Portal email came from Calgary (AOR is in my signature, 13 July 2021)

Portal email arrived this morning. Medicals were extended last Friday, 19 August. That's 13 months and 12 days for anyone counting :) Good luck everyone!

Portal email this morning! At 13 months + 12 days, not the longest wait but still! Good luck everyone.

Another ghost update today. Looks like medicals got extended. Hopefully I'll hear something soon.

Ghost update today. Status went to "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." Medical exam went from "passed" to "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes."

BCPNP Inland AOR July 13 2021, also in the same boat. MP replied that the application was approved and they sent another note to the visa office asking to finalize, but the call centre agent said the same thing nearly a month ago... (the application was approved in January 2022 according to my...

I'll wait for my MP to get back to me, but thank you for letting me know!

Well, do your GCMS notes indicate that the officer approved your application? It's probably a note to remind someone to get your case moving :) When I called IRCC two weeks ago the agent said they would send a note asking them to get back to me asap but as you know IRCC has their own pace

My medicals are valid until sometime in October (that's what my GCMS notes say anyway). I'm PNP-Inland, which appears to be pretty low in priority, so my experience is probably not universal, considering how many July AORs have gotten PPR on the tracker...

Their queuing seems like an exercise in complexity. Either that, or my file fell behind someone's desk :p
