AOR in January 2017 - Connect Here!

Not if the TA or RA was done in Canada while on a study permit and in full-time studies. It's counted for foreign applicants that studied outside of Canada.

I was very panic now...... i submitted my application in feb.02, medical passed and now my background check is n/a

I had 484, once they subtracted the "invalid" work experience, it dropped to 473. Then, the cut off was 475, so I missed it by 2 points. urgh.

What makes it worse is that today the cut off is 417 points, but because I only re-entered the EE pool today, I won't qualify to apply under 417.

Can't really get any more unlucky with this thing.

Zhaff2004, just out of curiosity, do you know if your file made it to CPC-Ottawa or it was rejected at CIO-Sydney? My understanding is that work experience assessment which I believe is part of the A(11.2) check is usually done at CIO-Sydney before the file is transferred to Ottawa; I could be wrong though. Cheers.

You need to relax, you could be the exception. I wouldn't sweat it. Since you claimed points for your RA position, did you submit an experience letter from your supervisor?

Anybody got better luck? To those of you have already received your PPR (Passport Request), How long did it take?

All we can do is wait and hope. The CIO agent would have made the A(11.2) recommendation before passing your file to Ottawa.

All we can do is wait and hope. The CIO agent would have made the R(11) recommendation before passing your file to Ottawa.

sorry, what is a r11?

 

[Canada247]

sorry, what is a r11?

Hi it's normal for PNP inland stream. A lot of people having AOR before you are still waiting.

FYI-- Baji81 posted this on this thread

I found something in the forum which explains the entire process. Hope this explains your question

GCMS Notes received after PPR was issued that explains my processing timeline from AOR to PPR
I ordered my GCMS notes for the first time on the day my application turned 5 months old, in order to receive it when the processing time becomes 6 so I would understand why it may pass the 6 months threshold. With Allah mighty blessings, I received my PPR 10 days later. The notes where issued the day before my PPR email was sent out, but it contains all the exact information required.

2016/02/16: INCOMING MAIL: RPRF Paid
- If your RPRF wasn't paid upfront, and you receive a request in a later stage (4 months or more), this is definitely a great sign of application acceptance.
- My application was literally untouched for 13 months post to AOR then most of the checks were done in a span of 5 days!
- IRCC work a lot on weekends, if you check the dates, you'll find a lot of Saturdays and Sundays.
- There are 3 types of reviewing personal: Support Agent, Agent and Officer. I assume the rank is ascending, and an Officer is the one deciding the fate of an application.
- Security Checks are the most time consuming elements of an application. After further research on Google and the forum, CSIS (Canadian Intelligence) receives a request from IRCC to conduct a Security Background check on all applicants 18 years and over towards CSIS databases, such as terrorism and espionage. CSIS also send requests to all intelligence agencies of all the countries you live in for 6 months or more. This is done as part of a global information sharing protocol (reference and confirmation is in research)

Same with my case, I'm Dec AOR BCPNP and have my Med's changed in mid March, nothing since then. Just wait or order GCMS notes to have some case updates.

Hi it's normal for PNP inland stream. A lot of people having AOR before you are still waiting.

According to the experience from two of my friends in the PNP inland stream, their wait time from AOR to PPR are all more than 4 month and less than 5 month. So, I am just curious. Thanks for the reply.

According to the experience from two of my friends in the PNP inland stream, one of them received his AOR early Oct, 2016, and the other in mid Oct ,2016. They all received their PPR during mid March, 2017.

So, I guess the processing time would be around 5 month, which means you are very very close to the PPR. Good luck, mate!
