Your file will circulate from office to office until it lands on the desk of deciding agent. This is normal. The process is highly decentralized - your AOR comes from Vancouver, your background checks will be done by secondary office (or several offices!) and your AIP probably will come from...

Sorry no experience on that one. I would recommend to open a separate thread on this one.

ATIP makes sense after at least 6-9 months have passed since you got AOR. Until then you will not see much, except your primary office which is not important.

Describe date, place, people and situation. Like "2015, Toronto, me and my spouse feeding our baby".

Yes it means it got uploaded to your account/application so each time officer pulls up your file he will see new docs

You have to look up who is MP for your electoral district and then go to their office asking for help to follow up. If your IrCc reply states office address in the person's signature, it does not necessarily mean that's your processing office. It could be your secondary office dealing with...

Only GCMS notes can tell which office treats your file. Or if your MP follows up on your file, they can get that info too.

Yes you attach copy and in your cover letter for Stage 2 package you explain that your passport is seized by CBSA. Our passport was also seized. You also attach a form from CBsA explaining that it was seized - they should have given you a form when they seized it which says where your passport...

Congrats on completing your journey.

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=037&top=4 Do I need to get a police certificate for my time in Canada? No. You don’t need to get a police certificate for your time in Canada.

This is probably something new as Canadian police certificates were not required when we applied. Even in your citation above it said no PCCs required for time spent in Canada. Did you submit it on your own initiative or upon insistance from lawyer?

If you have not lived in those countries for 6+ months since 2021 again, then you don't need to resubmit. Sometimes they misplace it and will ask again - then you can just resend the copies of same certificates (hopefully you still have them).

Congrats! You showed them that you don't take "no" for an answer when you deserve "yes"! We also got HC from third attempt...

There is no required list. It depends on what your case is. Is it based on best interest of child born in Canada? Are you asking for medical exemption? Do you have mis-representation or criminal inadmissibility? If you tell us the reason for seeking HC, we can recommend suitable evidence to...

You will need solid evidence about his medical condition and how hard it would be for him to get this medical care in home country. Medical reports, letters from doctors/teachers/social workers, World Bank reports about poor medical care in your home country, letters from friends/family with...

Processing starts almost at the same time they send you AOR as this is when they kick off your background checks. Medicals will be requested at Stage 2 unless your HC is asking for medical exemption. If you have done biometrics recently, they won't ask them again.

All countries you resided in for 6+ months as well as international criminal databases

Detailed log of your file progress that you can order under Access to Information and Privacy act.

It means they are doing Stage 1 of your file (whether to give you AIP). Whether the file is already with your deciding agent or whether it is in queue cannot be judged from this update. You will need GCMS notes.

It is accurate but it will stay at "we are processing your background" until you get PR. Not too detailed.
