Thank you much.. my question was, should my representative link my application to his/my GCkey to get the detailed updates?

In order to link your application you need to cancel the use of a representative by filling out IMM5476. Otherwise you cannot link with a rep.

Thank you..that helps. In case i cancel it, they wouldn't be sent any further updates..right?

In the case of cancelling it means that your rep can longer communicate with CIC, CBSA, etc, on your behalf.

I have a rep and I struggled with wanting to link but not wanting to cancel. It essentially defeats the purpose of having a rep in the first place. But if you do it, the communications will be coming to you.

Yes, I got BGC IP and Request to pay RPRF. Hope that helps.

It does! Thanks! Was it a generic AOR2 asking for submission of PCC and RPRF? Or was it directed towards to you?

 

[Sue2017]

nothing since your file has been transferred to London VO. over 2 months now.

Damn 2 months! My 2 month mark is coming up on August 19, 2017; Hopefully I get some progress by then! My VO is NDVO; they usually update BGC within a day or two of DM; Have you hit your 4 month mark yet since application has been received by IRCC?

April 06 applicant. What happens if I do? can I go to my MP and be like hey you, wth is going on with my file?

 

[Sue2017]

not me atleast.

I haven't either...

Don't worry! I haven't either, and my AOR2 was on June 19, 2017! At least our Applications are at the Visa Offices and not sitting in Mississauga! It`ll be our turn soon!

 

[Sue2017]

No, Sue But I got a sort of GOOD news and I am sure you know about this already. Between 31st July and 1st August, five of March 2017 applicants got DMs. So we are almost there. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dJsaLvHra4173xPfRwZbXo73hsxoXaLSJ5-tcm7qnJI/edit#gid=515762555

Let's hang in there! We will be fine

Thanks for sharing! It is GOOD news; the more Applicants are cleared from previous months, the closer we get to finally getting OUR turn! But it has been TOUGH, and on Monday it is a Civic Holiday! I have a feeling we will get some news around Mid August - End of August but that`s wishful thinking haha. I think your AOR2 was on June 13, 2017 so your a week ahead of me lol.

Honestly wait it out until end of August; keep yourself distracted with anything and everything; I have ordered notes twice (once in May and July) and I haven't received any of them! First time I ordered them, I wanted to find out if the Schedule A request was sent; but I ended mailing it out and within a week or two, my file got transferred, and I still didn`t get those notes and now I ordered them to see if I'm on the interview list; but we`ll see if I get them. Have you tried ordering notes?

It was directed at me and asking for RPRF to be paid within 60 days. PCC request was made a while back, before the file was transferred to VO.
