lol thank you for this, I thought I was getting gaslit for a moment haha. All is good now though, the immediate two replies after my question answered my inquiry. :)

I know, hence why I said ‘I can't find a definitive answer online, only for cases where the sponsor is also on a permit’

Those with on an active SOWP: How long is it valid for? I can't find a definitive answer online, only for cases where the sponsor is also on a permit (i.e. not a PR or citizen). I assume it lasts for the duration of the PR application/until a final decision is made, but it would be interesting...

Ghost update on March 17 also. June 23 applicant.

Assuming IRCC continues its current work rate, as per Hermit's logic, then I'd expect June 6 applicants to receive the next update/processing anytime during the month of April this year.

Thank you for sharing, this definitely clarifies the related previous posts. Very interesting observations! Assuming IRCC keeps the same processing rate, I expect I would not have any (major) updates until late May/early June since my application was submitted on June 23, 2024. Does this follow...

June 23 here, also no update. Last ghost update was a month ago (Feb 11, 2025).

Has anyone ordered GCMS notes lately? Do your notes say whether or not your background check has begun?

Good morning all, I received my GCMS notes last night and under 'ASSESSMENTS' it states 'Security' and 'Criminality' as 'Not Started' (both were separate records/rows) :( If it's true that PR applications are completed in batches, it's possible that applications submitted around the same time as...

Same boat, no update and pending BGC. My timeline is in my signature for reference if you'd like to have a look. Fingers crossed all will be good soon!

Thank you for the detailed break down, really appreciate it! On a slightly different topic, my colleague (Canadian citizen) sponsored his partner (before COVID) and they were interviewed for the authenticity of their relationship. Are all applicants and sponsors interviewed? I'm not sure I've...

Hi all, I was browsing the other inland sponsorship threads of different months earlier (namely January 2024 and March 2024) and noticed they talk about P1/Portal 1 and P2/Portal 2 emails. Can anyone here elaborate on what they are? Thanks!

I understand that historically. flagpolers would practice flagpoling by land/car. However, reading the latest announcements from the CBSA and the government of Canada (links below), there is no mention of mode of transportation. They simply define flagpoling as leaving and re-entering Canada as...

Hi Alex, If you decide to 'flagpole' (in quotes since scylla said it's technically not flagpoling) via air travel, please let me know how it goes. I was planning to flagpole via car to Buffalo, but found out the flagpoling ban just today. For context, I am on a OWP (expired Feb 03, 2025), but...

If AIP is 'Approved in principal', then no I haven't received any documents stating such My application is processed as inland, both my partner and I live and work in Ontario :)
