Sure. I actually don’t think there’s any such trend. Some of my friends (applying as single) who almost had similar AOR dates as I did got their PPRs in about 2 months. But mine took 3 months. So I don’t think there’s such a rule. My colleague who applied as a family is still pending (4 months...

No. He simply doesn’t understand that people could have reasons other than “score” for not adding their spouses - as I have explained in my above post.

Please understand that when people do not add their spouse’s as accompanying, it is not always to get a “higher score”. Score is not the only driver. In my case, my spouse could not move out of the US for at least 2-3 years due to some work commitments. If she got her PR with me and didn’t move...

This is allowed. I had applied via an attorney and my attorney did this for me too. He added my spouse to my application after I got the ITA. So I had applied without my spouse as “accompanying” when I got the ITA. However, I changed spouse to “accompanying” afterwards and submitted all of my...

The notes seem to say he worked as a TA from 2014 to 2018. Why wasn’t this counted?

Hey guys....any of you here who are planning to do just a soft landing and flying back? Have you applied for a PRTD already?

Sab ka aayega - sooner or later!

This is REALLY sad. Applicants need to stop behaving in such an entitled fashion. Let the MPs do their jobs. They aren’t your personal status update machine. I feel sorry for Ralph. This isn’t fair to him. Also, this is earning us a bad name. It’s a pity.

Buddy, you are right I think. My friend who hadn’t seen any movement in his account since aug 10 had checked last evening (US time). We carpool back from work together and he had dialed via Skype to know his status while he was in my car (he applied through a consultant so doesn’t have online...

I hope so! Thanks!

I hope so man. 5 of us friends had applied together. He’s the only one pending.

Guys. My colleague who hadn’t paid his RPRF upfront recently got this communication from IRCC (it was an RPRF request). It said, “This is in reference to your application for a permanent resident visa. The admissibility review is currently in process; you will be contacted if additional...

I see some discussions around how higher CRS scores could potentially means faster PPRs. This is simply not true. CRS score has got nothing to do with application processing speed. Mine was 481 and it took 3 months to get to the PPR stage. There was never any IP1 IP2 movement on my account. I...

My AOR was Aug 2. I got the PPR this week. So took about 3 months. FSW-O applying from the US. Never saw any status updates beyond MEP. The profile reflected only MEP and “We will let you know when we start your background check” till the very end. The lawyer straightaway got the PPR request...

Same here. Transferring to my current company’s Toronto office. Already traveled there before on multiple shorter visits. So I’m familiar with the city. Company provides accommodation in their corporate apartment for 2 weeks. Meanwhile, will have to find something. If I don’t get anything...

Hi Siddharth. Nobody ever really answers the phone at the consulate. You can write to misc@cgisf.org I have used this email ID to communicate with them in the past twice - and both times I got a response on the same day.

Hi. If you do not want to bother your lawyer every now and then for your status, you can try this. My colleague whose PPR has still not been received just tried this like 10 minutes ago and it worked. 1) Call the +1 6139444000 number if you are outside Canada (this won't work through your...

Don’t worry about it. So long as it is entered clearly, you’re good. Mine was literally complicated to the point of being headache-inducing even for my own self. So I can only imagine how annoying it could’ve been for any visa officer who was looking at it. But I really do think that there are...

Hi Bandit Queen. It was Ottawa. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to estimate timelines based on how long it took for someone else. I honestly don’t think applications follow any pattern. The rest of my friends literally got their PPRs in less than 2 months whereas mine took about 3 months...

Thanks. My legal representative is a lawyer and he shared with me the text from the IRCC site which states that first time PR arrivals may choose to have the card forwarded to the legal representative. The lawyer refused to mail the card to me in the US because apparently that amounts to...
