extremely frustrating indeed.. i spoke to an agent last night.. same story.. eligibility met on oct 1, and criminality met on nov 23.. and security not started.. file doesn't have any red flags.. when asked why security not happened.. he said we r busy..

btw.. does everyone with aor august 23 have eligibility met? (or do some have recommended passed as well)
Mine is Aug 23rd AOR and Nov 23 IP2. Not sure why are they not starting security. Aug end AORs are getting PPRs.

Hello friends,

Are there folks who are "FSW-Outland, AOR Aug. '18, Meds passed Sept. , RPRF paid Oct., Indian" - and still did not get PPRs ?

If yes, do you have any update on the current status of your application processing like - criminality / security check started or not etc. ?

Thanks friends

Hi!

1 week has passed after the ghost update, but no PPR yet. My desperate anxiety changed to philosophic serenity. Just continue to live my common life. 3 days remaining till 6 months edge.
Today after 5 months the status of my biometrics finally changed to Completed (who knows, a lot of people experience such issue with biometrics status - biometrics are done, but the status shows - We need your fingerprints to process your application). So, this makes me suppose that someone is doing something with my application. Fingers crossed.

You're not alone. I think at this point, it depends on local VO; when they will issue PPR.

Hi,

My AOR date is august 11th. When i called the agent yesterday said that my eligibility and criminality has passed and they are working on security. However i have not recieved a request for biometrics and it still says we do not need your boimetrics. Is this normal?

My thoughts, having followed much of the responses people in this forum have got from IRCC, is that the department is stretched, desperately trying to meet the targets of invites while trying to vet almost 200 000 people a year under constrained resources but still doing a quality job. Therefore, I think it's going to happen that people slip through the cracks, and no matter what the details are around this case, I'm sure every case officer who signs off on the security portion of our applications has been told to double their caution, at least for the next month, so there isn't another public relations disaster for IRCC.

However, it has been positive to see the volume of PPR emails that people were reporting over the last few days, so maybe the pressure to meet the 6-month deadline (now that they have this progress bar that draws attention to it) exceeds the pressure for caution in security screening.

I just think that if they exposed their case notes in our application centre, while putting the GCMS notes companies out of business, would greatly reduce the amount of stress and possibly drop their call centre requirements to a fraction as we wouldn't be harassing them all the time and only when it was important. My 2c worth...
I appreciate this opinion on the present situation. I agree that more information may reduce the stress placed on the system. On the other hand it may raise more questions from applicants that could put more pressure on them as well. Personally, I have no real issues with what they currently do. But I would venture to say that more personnel may alleviate some pressure.

@tobs I would really appreciate your input on the same. My AOR is 3rd Aug, Outland USA, Indian Citizen. Score 441 with IELTS, Masters and skilled work experience in USA for 8 Years. I forgot to attach my Job duties with my application when I submitted intially but in December I attached the same through web form enquiry. I am still in IP1. I raised Qery via web form and here is the response-
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

You will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your application for permanent residence:

  • The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
    • you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.
  • The background verifications not in process yet.
  • The medical examination results on file are valid for you, your spouse and your dependent child.
Looks like they've not attended to your additional documents yet. Order GCMS notes let's see if the documents you sent have been received and looked at.

Anyone here sending their passport to VFS Düsseldorf?
My doc arrived yesterday at VFS Düsseldorf according to DHL, however I haven't received any acknowledgement from the VFS until today. I called them, and they said it's not in their system yet. So I'm kinda worried.
