I bit the bullet and applied for a bridging visa because my working visa ends on Jan 29th and my 6 month mark would hit Jan 30th and I'm not confident that I'll get PPR by then. So I figured I would get a bridging visa to tide me over. Submitted all the applications and all the same stupid...

Congrats to you!! Are you CEC or FSW? I have the same AOR as you.

Do we know how much time (if any) CIC will be off for the holidays?

He didn't know or didn't say. He said it as if it was a positive thing like as if it was finished and I asked to clarify if there was more to be done on eligibility to which he just said he wasn't sure. Haven't ordered GCMS notes but might have to now.

Called and finally got through to an agent this morning who was pretty nice and helpful. Also tried to feed me the progress bar line though. CEC - Inland AOR July 30th Visa Office: Ottawa Criminality is in progress Security has not started yet Eligibility is under review I'm not sure if that...

I would like to know this too. I'm constantly listening to an automated voice read out my whole life story regarding my application only to tell me there's no agents available.

When is the best time to call IIRC? I've called twice first thing in the morning and both times they were so busy they wouldn't even place me in a queue. Just had an automated message read out my CIC profile and then told me to call back another time. (Toronto time)

BOWP? Edit: Also got the email about the progress bar but it's nowhere to be seen on the website.

You and me both. I see a bunch of August and September PPRs and it's giving me anxiety. Working visa is up the end of January.

Thanks! Will try them tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry I should have specified I'm actually in Toronto. Is there an internal number?

Sorry, basic question but what's the number to call to inquire about your application status and is there a best time to call and not be waiting an age to get through?

Congrats! I'm also CEC Inland with an AOR of July 30th so this makes me happy to hear. Hopefully mine isn't far away now. Best of luck.

Ok good to know. I'm CEC and inland so maybe the processing times are different. Hopefully we hear by the end of the month indeed. My work visa ends in January and I get more and more anxious each day that goes by.

I'm interested to see how your timeline goes. I'm also AOR July 30th but I've been in IP2 for over a month now. Are you applying under FSW or CEC? In or outland?

CEC Inland AOR: July 31 IP2: Unsure, never got an email but noticed about 3 weeks ago when I logged in. Awaiting PPR. I have 2 friends also doing CEC Inland, also from Ireland. One is at 4 and half months and other is just over 5 months and nothing. My friend at 5 months had to get a bridging...

CEC inland AOR July 30th Not sure of IP1 & 2 because I only started following these threads recently but I've been in IP2 for some time because my background check has been in progress for quite a while. Got one ghost update email 2 months ago and haven't heard anything since.

Oh sweet, thanks for the quick response. That sounds a lot handier.

Question about the PPR process. Do you have to send your actual passport in or can you just scan/photocopy it? I live in Toronto at the moment but it's my only form of ID, plus I'm travelling to the States in December so I want to make sure I have it back in time for that. Alternatively is there...
