Guys (CuriousGuy, guowei18, beh467, NeverGiveUp), congratulations It's always good to see some good news

Hello Guys,
It has been more than 6 weeks since I applied for PR but i haven't receive PER yet ? should I be concerned about it? My application status in eCAS is " In process"

6 weeks ago was the week of May 6th. Did you apply under the new rule? Nobody who has applied under the new rule has received PER. I think Sydney just got swamped really bad since applicants from all over the world must have been bombarding them with tons of documents, especially the past month

On May 8th I got a proof of fund request, on the May 9th I ordered CGMS. I got my GCMS today. I notice the following:
- RCMP Screening Submitted
- Security in progress
- Criminality in progress
- Selection not started

Did you get "No Reportable Trace" for RCMP screening? It does look like that they now start admissibility screening much earlier in the process. Ottawa initiated my background check after they passed me on selection factor, but for you, the process was reversed. But it's good since eligibility usually takes only minutes whereas background check can easily take months.

Perfect ! you should be good with this.

Ya, I think his letter was really good. Let's hope it got in before assessment was done by Ottawa.

No, I did not get "No Reportable Trace" for RCMP screening, yet. If they start the admissibility screening, how long it may take. Can I make the process faster?

I submitted this one on 24th May through Xpresspost and also through e-mail on 3rd June but didn't get any confirmation from Ottawa office, then I went to MP office and they called to the Ottawa office at my presence to confirm whether they received the documents or not but most of the officer was busy on that time but thankfully Ottawa office called back to the MP office next day and confirmed that they have received my documents, added to my file and will be reviewed by 20th June. I did my my best even sometimes more than I could do but everything will be in vain with one terrifying rejection letter

Don't worry man, you're good. I sent my updated letters of reference on May 16 and it seems they were accepted, as I got medical request today. It should be mentioned that my old letters were very simple such that I'm pretty sure I would get rejected if I had not submitted the updated versions. My first RA/TA letter (issued by the department) provided some general information regarding my duties and did not include the lead statement and substantial duties. My industrial work experience (4 years) letter from back home was also very fundamental and did not even list my main duties and the projects that I was involved... I got updated letters for both my work experiences providing more details about duties and the lead statements... Of course, using the experience of the seniors in this forum.

Good luck with your application.

Guys,

My application was received on May 3rd and my credit card got charged on May 13th; however I did not receive PER yet. On June 3rd, my e-case showing "In Process" with the following message:

We received your application for permanent residence on May 3, 2013.

I did e-mail both CIO and CPP-O, but they did not reply yet.

I have two questions:

- For those who received PER, does the e-case status showing any other message than "we received your app ..."?

- I need to send an updated RA/TA letter, should I just e-mail it to CPP-O or should I wait for the PER?

You better to wait until you get your PER/ your documents reach in your Visa office. I believe your file still in Sydney. Once you get your PER, wait for couple of Weeks or month and then send the updated letter both mail and email. Don't worry you still have to wait long long time to get a final decision, i.e. you will have enough time to update your reference letter(s).

Hello,

I have sent my application a week ago and it hasn't appeared online yet (ecas), and I have my Police Certificate now, and I am travelling abroad for a few months, I want to send the document. Should I send it to Sydney or the Ottawa Office. How do I make it identifiable. Thanks,

P.S. My application arrived in Sydney 11 June 2013, please add me in the tracker.

Thank you kaziahmmed and Asbereth.

I landed at the Peace Bridge, Fort Erie (made a U-turn before entering US). I had the bank statement and university Enrollment/RA letter ready but they did not ask for anything other than CoPR and Passport. The whole procedure took almost 10 minutes. I would recommend everyone to double check the mailing address for the PR card, they enter it from the ID you provide them, as the officer made a mistake while copying my address.

It is difficult to add documents at this stage, as you do not have a file number. Ask a friend to send it to Ottawa after you get your file number as you are travelling.

Would you please post the rest of your information to be added to the spreadsheet?

Great!! these news gives us a bit of relief that at least after receiving the passport (of course with Visa) finally end up the painful stresses over the year. Goodluck CuriousGuy on the way of your Canadian Citizen (and of course a great Citizen) . One more thing if you ever become a Immigration Officer please don't forget the sufferings that you had experienced and do not forget ppl like us ))))
