Can you please confirm if counterfoil is generated after passport is stamped or before stamping? I can see in the GC Key account, the application is approved and see counterfoil number.

The counterfoil is the thing actually placed in the passport, it's the same thing as the passport stamping.
We received our PPR today Nov 25th.
Funny enough online it still says Processing, no DM etc. I guess you can get your PPR request prior to their online update. So don't worry if you have not gotten DM online, it just means they haven't updated your info on their server but the process is still going.

That's great news, congratulations! When did you guys receive your pre arrival services letter?
Congrats. Seems like NDVO is currently processing applications April/May. Prior to the festive celebrations, the trend was to see DM and PPR within 2-3 days of receiving the pre arrival. However, it now has changed and there is no definite pattern. Lets hope that we all get the update soon.

It's easy to over-interpret esp / incl reports from NDVO because there are so many (biggest source country for Canada by far). For every 'batch' there are some that get processed earlier (simpler files) and some later, more complex. They're not just working on april/may - april/may files start to get opened and some are simple and get approval quickly.
Also for the pre-arrival to PPR stages - NDVO has more obvious seasonality than most other offices (not just because of holidays), probably because of student visa timing as well.
The PPR/counterfoil operation in NDVO is probably several times over the next-largest and way, way bigger than most. Just from PR visas it's probably close to 10,000 a month - and in regular TRVs and student permits, it's enormous. And we know the student permit timing is concentrated toward end of summer and end of calendar year (in terms of expected departures, the counterfoil printing needs to be somewhat in advance of that).
Of course they're scheduling and putting some types of requests in holding periods to be able to process - just even the physical handling of that many files. And pulling staff from one type of file/decision making to others when there are seasonal demands.
Not worth reading too much into some of these changes - the patterns are probably not specific to individual files, just other stuff going on.
Thank you.
We got our Pre-arrival letter Nov 3rd.
Also my wife who is the principal applicant got the PPR this week in her email, I did not get anything nor the online portal is updated yet. So there is no pattern other then the application is on-going regardless if you see update or not. The only update prior to PPR was the pre-arrival letter, and before that on the portal it was medical exam passed.
PPR mail comes to PA's e-mail most likely. Also, you wont see any update in your GC key account until counterfoil has been generated once your passport reaches the visa office.
Hi bro, have you got where we mentioned the eye colors in the submitted forms? Which one?
