Hi, I just received an Invitation to Pre-Arrival Services. Does this have any significance/relevance in terms of getting PR?

@prashant55 : With the current processing timeline change to 21 months there is no sure-shot way to determine when you will get the PR. Quite a few people are in the final stage while some people like you and me are still waiting to hear from IRCC. So have patience. I received AOR 23rd Dec...

@Jatthwhwhwhs : Mine was same, I had paid the biometric fee along with the application. When I got AOR (after 5 months) on Dec 23, 2024, they asked me to pay the biometric fee. Didn't you get email along with AOR to pay the fee? Please check properly. If IRCC has asked to pay biometric fee -...

Finally received BIL today after 2 months. Fees were paid on 27th Dec 2024

It's just an email.

I submitted application on 23rd July 2024, received AOR post 5 months i.e 23rd Dec 2024. Had paid Biometric fee but still got email stating to pay BIL fee. Paid the fee again for BIL on 27th Dec 2024 and since then (2months now) awaiting response from IRCC.

@Ramankaur26 - The total processing time will be 21 months, which means (as per my current experience with IRCC) all the steps in the entire process will start getting delayed. For example- I paid the BIL fee on 27th Dec 2024 but I haven't received the BIL till now. Earlier it used to be within...

Not sure about other countries, but for India, you can renew the passport before 1 year. I did it recently. My passport exipry was in Jan 2026 and I renewed it in Feb 2025. Did it under Tatkal and got it delivery within a week.

Same here. Paid the fee again on 27th Dec 2024 but not received BIL letter till now. No point contacting IRCC they have standard answer that it is within timeline (21 months) so IRCC will contact you. Regarding the call- please note that always use the option of call back in the end. They call...

no messages. Just shows in the PR tracker app.

@Ramankaur26 : The PR Tracker says both BIL and Background Verification "in progress", but I have not received any update. Medical shows "not started".Just FYI my medicals were done in 2022 when I came to Canada so not sure if the medical will still be valid.

@Ramankaur26 : I received the AOR on 23rd Dec, paid BIL fee on 27th Dec 2024 but no news / update post that.

Any luck with BIL? I haven't received it till now

I am July 23rd applicant. I have only received AOR on 23rd Dec 2024. Nothing received post that not even BIL

I might be wrong- but why don't you cancel your representative? Is there anything else required from his/her side?

Hi! I have renewed my passport. Do I need to upload the new passport vide Webform?

@Karanshah : Any update on your BIL. I haven't received anything yet, have called them + sent webform aswell....still no update.

@Karanshah Usually it comes up with the AOR, but if the payment was asked to be made then, with the timeline gone up to 20 months, there is no way to estimate when one can get the BIL. I paid the BIL fee on 27th Dec 2024 and still awaiting BIL. Callled IRCC helpline multiple times but they have...

I paid the Biometric fee on 27th Dec 2024, still haven't received my BIL. Not sure whats happening. I called the helpline number but they just say that have received my payment but don't have any info on the BIL and that i will get it in my email when the officer sends the BIL.

It is correct. The processing time is now 20 months...so it's applicable to everyone irrespective of when you submitted the application.
