did you get GCMS notes?

I wanted to apply for EE in January, I even got a new nomination and got the ITA from EE. But right when I was going to submit it, my paper-based app woke up and they started sending me pre-arrival letter, extended my meds, asked for RPRF, I mean they finally started DOING SOMETHING! So I...

yep, it's all true and frustrating. but again, i'm talking about the majority, and that's what they look at when they analyze the data. i'm a much better and established immigrant than most of people I know who come through EE, but I realize it's impossible to measure it on case-by-case basis...

it is merit-based, therefore it's discriminatory towards people who can't meet those requirements by definition.

exactly, same story here. I wasn't able to get enough points for EE when I was applying, that's why I chose paper-based. If I waited for another 6 months, I could have easily applied through EE, but I didn't want to wait. Yes, it frustrates me to go from 14 months when I applied to 19 months...

if they extend EE timelines it will no longer be Express. To be able to keep it under the promised time frames they allocate more resources towards EE, therefore pushing the rest of us to the end of the queue.

if you are as qualified and as highly skilled as EE applicants why didn't you apply through EE? Majority of people who can't apply through EE lack points which certainly shows disadvantage compared to EE applicants.

because that's what Express Entry is - fast-tracked process for highly skilled and economically justified applicants.

me tooooooo

yes please!!

there was a smaller shower of PPRs last week, to those who've received ghost updates on July 4, so hopefully we'll see ours soon.

more often Fridays, but sometimes Wednesday through the weekend

that would be grand!

hey fellow ghost update receivers, when do you expect we'll get the PPR?

so basically go on vacation and don't worry about updating it. keep the track of the dates though, it will help when you get to the citizenship stage when you need to calculate your travels while you were in canada

we are only supposed to provide travel info up to the application date or if the update is specifically requested by CIC.

so you haven't even received your MR and pre-arrival services letter?

yes, that's correct. economically justified applicants take priority (I'm not saying I agree with the sentiment, just stating a fact).

Express Entry applicants take priority over others because that's the whole point of the Express system - fast immigration.

it has started, this status will never change.
