Just spoke to CIC. Same status again which was 3 weeks back. Security yet to start. Aug 23 AOR.

She also mentioned the usual things that application is within time frame and will mostly be processed within 6 months
That’s some news .. same timeline and checking updates each day twice
 
What is the additional doc? If it affects your eligibility (POF, work experience, etc) then it may take time to review.. but you are already in IP2 so it is near PPR. It is just a matter of time. Your file is also at sydney which is slow as some say here.

the additional files is the prof of funds, they were not sure if i can use the money or not for the settlement, as the money is under the name of my wife, and she is the secondary applicant; so we wrote an authorization letter and explanation letter for the additional doc requirement which indicate that she authorized me to use the money. this was done by 22 of Oct. and 30th of Oct our application get into IP2 stage. so i was think they are ok with the letter and explanation, but now i am really not sure for that...

I have received my Bridging Open Work Permit on 30/October/2018. I have received my email close to midnight from my lawyer.

For people wondering what to expect, It is a very simple letter that states, Date, your UCI, Your application number that starts with "W" and your name, adress. Then you get this paragraph:

Lastly the document states the type of visa, validity dates and the document number.

" Your application to remain in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. A secure document has been mailed to you at the address that you provided when you made your application. If you have not received your secure document within six weeks, contact IRCC. "

Hope this helps to people who are waiting for it
Hi,

How long is the expiration of your BOWP? 1 year??

thank you!!!
 
Congratulations on receiving the PPR email.
If you are in California, they would ask you to send it to ottawa, unless you are in california as a non resident in other words if are just visiting united states as a tourist or something. What was your country of residence when you applied at AOR ?


Thank you for your reply..

They have asked me to Sumit passports in India, Nepal or Ottawa. I am in USA since have started the process and will be here for long now.

Unable to understand if I can send passports out of country (ie India) while in USA or should I send it to VFS located in Los Angeles or New York. Please suggest.

I know I have read this in various forms but just putting up a question for people who can answer this.
My AOR is 3rd Aug.
Medicals cleared - 24th Aug
Moved to "IP2" - Nov 21st

Is there a possibility of CIC asking for additional documents now or finding something wrong with my application now?
I am 9 days from the 6 month mark.

I have tried calling them multiple times but no luck.
 
I raised a CSE on 21st January 2019 but still haven't received any response from CIC.

Should I raise another CSE or just wait for some more time?

I will complete 6 months in 12 days.
