Hello,
"Inspired" by others I sent yesterday an email to the CPC email address for a simple "Request for Status Update" and received today the following reply. While I noted some say the don't rely on their emails I am curious what the experienced of you have to say / assume?

Hello Community,
My consultant forwarded few minutes ago the email from CIC "Ready for Visa".
Stream & Timeline:
- CEC-Inland + LMIA
- AOR 27-JAN
- Spouse + Infant (Canadian Dual)
As my application was handled through a consultant I do not have a day-to-day truck, but I know the following:
- Medicals were passed sometime between MAR-01 and MAR-13. Whenever that happened same day my background went into "In Progress".
- Since Mar-14 I asked my consultant twice for an update and last time yesterday. No change in status.
We had to submit PCC from 4 x countries. One PCC was issued from a consulate/embassy which had a translation into german/english/french, although the country's name is shown in its language only. We didn't arrange any certified translation (which I thought about I should probably do so to make sure CIC understands from which country the PCC is from - I took a chance here).
Further, according to my travel history I thought I will probably require a USA PCC. I submitted the e-APR and same day after the e-APR I raised a CSE with a LOE providing proof of applying for a USA PCC which I haven't received yet. Once my CC was charged by the FBI I raised another CSE uploading the proof of the CC charge. Approximately 2 weeks after my e-APR I received the USA PCC and uploaded it same day by raising another CSE.
Never got any replies on the CSE.
I tried to obtain a Criminal Record Check Canada to submit it upfront with my application, but couldn't do so as the fingerprint companies declined my request (they were insisting I would need the instruction from CIC to ask for a Criminal Record Check). Instead I went to a police station and applied for the simplified police check based on Name/Date of birth and submitted that paper instead.
I am pretty much sure that my In Progress never changed into Not Applicable and then into In Progress 2. It was always in In Progress 1 same day the medicals passed.
All the best to everyone.
