We got 6 months on landing, and then extended it online at Christmas (we are currently on ‘implied status’, which means they haven’t approved it yet, but we are allowed to stay until they make a decision). You can do the border as well, but there is always the risk they won’t let you back in...

Re: 5 eyes country. I wouldn’t worry. It hasn’t done me any good whatsoever so far!

Hey Laumyl, We came to Canada on a tourist visa in July 2018 and have been here ever since. We asked the Canadian Embassy In The UK if it were an issue and were told that all we had to do was prove we had enough money not to be a burden, or a return flight. I would check with your local embassy...

Agreed. I think they should replace Mathew and his gang with an out of office message that says: ‘Haven’t got a PPR yet? Not our problem. Go and complain to someone who cares you pathetic excuse for a non-Canadian’.

Who knows! We have an Italian wedding certificate, which is in Italian and French, but shouldn’t be a problem. We couldn’t get a POF letter from our bank (UK banks can be a bit crappy like that), but we sent through six months of statements for the two bank accounts and three credit cards...

Hey Gruff, I hope life is treating you well. Fingers crossed here for a speedy resolution on your part. It was nice to actually speak to someone today after 30 odd times calling, but in the end I was no clearer about what was happening and was basically told, it might come next week, or it...

Just realised that the bit above doesn’t really fit with what I was told! Looking at a couple of other cases, sometimes IP2 is triggered really early (Steb1’s seemed to be the same day as his medical). Logically I think it must be nearly impossible for them to have concluded the eligibility in...

Absolutely correct. Just to clarify, I have heard a number of terms thrown around such as ‘eligibility passed’ and ‘recommended passed’, which I think relates to the jr analyst but I don’t know for sure. A recommendation for pass is good enough for the background check to start, but your...

No idea. He told me that he doesn’t have access to that info. GCMS notes due by next Tuesday so that should help.

Hi all, Finally spoke to an agent today and he confirmed that our eligibility was review required. This could take a week to clear or a few months. He was really polite and took time to explain the process to me which I appreciated. I imagine it is stuff most of you already know, but I have...

Hi all, Just thought I would update for those further behind on the process. Finally managed to speak to an agent today who confirmed that I was in review required. Unfortunately he couldn’t tell me what for or when this happened. In short, he said that the only way to find out was by ordering...

Agent Mathew by any chance?

Tuesday also seems to be a big day for issuing PPRs for some reason. I wonder why?!?

Congrats - hopefully It’s the start of an avalanche!

I’m just dying to know what the delay is. I have been over and over my application documents and I just can’t see a problem with them. I genuinely don’t mind a bit of proper scrutiny, but I am confident that all of our info is legit and meets the requirements. I will go full Rambo if I find...

Has anyone else had the dream where you walk into the customer services office at IRCC, find the people who ignore all your questions in the CSEs (including Mathew), and just shout at them for hours? I did the other night and in my dream I came up with some pretty new and novel insults. In real...

Same old blank space in my inbox where I would like the PPR email to be!

Good luck with the process buddy! I’m under FSW-O so I am absolutely no authority. However, it doesn’t seem to matter what stream or class you are under, some roll through in 4 months, others wait 7 or 8. The only thing I will recommend is trying to give the info exactly as they ask for it. I...

Hi Tom, We did ours as one block. Eg Sep 2000 to July 2003. I haven’t got my PPR yet though so I can’t confirm if this is correct or it is causing a hold up!

A couple of months ago people were told to wait until February. Before that, people were being told to wait for December. It could be that something happens in batches every couple of months, but I could only speculate on what it is. Meanwhile, it looks like PPRs are done for this week.
