MohamedOmar said:
So I am one of the hundreds or thousands silently following this forum and learning a lot from everyone. I just got my PPR yesterday 20/10/2017, I want to thank every and each one of you for taking the time and putting the effort in this forum, it made a huge difference. The least I could do is provide a detailed time line for my application, hopefully it will help re-assure some of you.
I am FSW inland

AOR: April 26, 2017
Medicals passed : July 1, 2017
No updates from July 1 to Sept 29

My time line from July 1 to Sept 29 :
Application status : We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility : We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results : You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents: No additional document needed
Interview : You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics : We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when we start your background check
Final decision: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.


Received 2 GCMS notes on August 24 and Sept 27: Both notes were identical, showing:
Eligibility :recommended pass
Criminality: not started
Security: not started
Some notes by the officer who assigned the "recommended pass", indicating checking my degrees, letter of experience and confirming the location and contact info of the place I was working at
GCMS notes showed that no one looked at my application since july 4

On Sept 29, My background check was updated. I did not get an e-mail for that:
Background check : We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information

October 6, I got an email requesting Canadian police check for me and my wife, as we have been in canada for more than 6 months
The application updated to :
Review of additional documents: We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.
I uploaded them immediately as I had them ready

October 19, on the HOME PAGE of my account, showed the my application is updated, however when I opened the application, nothing was updated

October 20, I got PPR e-mail
Current time line after PPR:
Application status: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements
Review of medical results :You passed the medical exam
Review of additional documents We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes. Help
Biometrics : We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes. Help
Background check : We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information. Help
Final decision: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

What i learned throughout the process:
- There is NO one specific way that your application has to follow
- If your application is taking longer than others, it does not mean that there is something wrong. My application was not touched for almost 3 months for no obvious reasons
- The updates of your application on CIC are not that accurate as you can see from my current timeline
- You guys are much more helpful than you can imagine, You are impacting others life significantly
I hope you find this post helpful and let me know if you have any questions!

Lots of love!

Dear @MohamedOmar
Congratulations on your PR and many thanks for the detailed write-up.
The information you gave should make hundreds of readers realize that there is nothing to worry about if they are not getting daily updates from CIC or a PPR after 3 months of their AOR.
I have a very similar timeline as yours (25th April AOR) and did not see any updates. After 5 months my BGC changed to "We are processing".
I wish I had read (and you had written!) this post few months back! This would have saved me from countless long days in absolute stress and many sleepless nights!
I wish you all the best.

I have received a call from cic asking about my job and canandian education. She told me that I will see an update in next 2 days. Also, when I login today, it says my background check is in progress (IP3)

I got called by cic too. An inland officer called me and request all original documents sent by mail for verification. He finished verification in one day and emailed me indicating my application has been approved. I am CEC inland. Now the officer booked me a CoPR interview with cic local office in my city. No PPR in my case and no pr visa or CoPR received.

I'm in St. John's, NL. The inland officer who contacted me is at Fredericton, NB.

I think my experience about this verification is quite unique, rare and interesting. I am actually the second person in whole Canada got selected for verification. This is a pilot project initiated by cic recent. I believe there will be more candidates involved in the future.

I will post a separate post when I got my CoPR interview done.
 
I am on day 182 since e-APR AOR date. GCMS notes indicated that medical and criminality was passed, but eligibility and security checks had not started. No change in status based on automated voice message of yesterday.

Anyone in a similar situation? Any suggestions? Will sending an email help?
