    True, you're still technically within the average processing period. If you can sit tight and wait it out, good on you. :) I personally prefer to be informed on any details I can get my hands on, so for me GCMS notes were useful and gave me some peace of mind.

    Medical in UAE/Dubai

    Dr McCulloch's Clinic in Khalifa Street, near Mediclinic (formerly Al Noor Hospital). I was able to book it with a copy of my passport, as the original was at my embassy at the time. They made me promise to bring it as soon as I get it back and I did shortly after. They took 5 days to submit...

    The COPR is valid for 1 year from the date of the medical, so check the date of your e-medical copy to know how long you have. As an example, my medical was submitted/generated on 29/10/2017 and that is exactly 1 year from the validity date on my COPR as well: 29/10/2018.

    Looking at the profile status won't tell you much. Haven't you ordered GCMS notes yet?

    Once you have submitted your passport and received it back with the COPR (confirmation of permanent residence) there is an expiry date mentioned in the document. You should land before that date.

    It was sent by CPC in my case, my VO was Ottawa, so I'm not sure how it is for other VOs. You could give it a shot, I tried both emailing and through the IRCC Web form but never received any reply to my queries pre-PPR. After that they did respond to my inquiry on the passport status.

    CCIE Network Engineer | Experience Required to Get a Job

    Yeah, that's true but the OP didn't mention what other fields they have experience in. Still being focused on one specialization and achieving the highest level in it can also be an advantage at times.

    Hi dorian1, I actually just received my last notes report which was generated on the same day I received my PPR so I'll chime in: 1. That seems to be the case from the "Final: Approved" bit and I have the same exact assessments status as you. 2. Same here, it's redacted since the beginning, but...

    CCIE Network Engineer | Experience Required to Get a Job

    I concur with xylene, you have to spend the time to research potential employment opportunities and in which provinces they are to be found. Having said that, a CCIE in 3 years is pretty damn impressive if you have the experience to back it up! Last I checked there were only around 30,000 -...

    I think canbnd was implying that you should give up on your application based on their friend having a similar situation and getting rejected. However, I respectfully disagree as there are not enough details to come to that conclusion. From what I saw on your other post, the issue is that they...

    Other than the application number, you will also need the UCI number from your profile if it is available. You also need to fill out a consent form for IRCC to release your information to the person/company ordering it on your behalf. If you just want the notes you should get basic, and it...

    Thanks! It will probably be sometime in July or August, also in Toronto. I still need to serve my notice period and make other preparations. Good luck, and make sure to let us know how your landing experience goes. :)

    Finally received my passport & COPR :D Man, this paper is quite large and fragile, I'm afraid to tear it by accident. There seems to be 2 copies, one is labelled client and one IRCC, guess I'll bring both. Strangely though my profile still hasn't been updated yet. o_O For those still waiting...

    How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

    Received my passport back along with COPR today. :) However, my IRCC profile still has not been finalized. Guess it should update in a few days.

    Thank you, and congrats! Pretty amazing coincidence to have 2 great things happen on the same day. Sounds fun, hope you enjoy it. :)

    Good to know! Haha, no not yet, and I'm glad I waited since it's taking more time than I expected to receive the COPR & Passport back. Every day I stay counts for a little extra something to throw into the savings pile. At this rate I might make it to the mid-yearly bonus payout before leaving...

    No, I did not follow up at all, neither through email or otherwise. Then again, I don't know what the nature of your additional documents is. In my case it was a letter to address a name discrepancy noted in my ECA. So I didn't really need to follow up unless IRCC had any additional queries from...
