My application says 72 percent completed with 51 days left but in reply to a request I earlier sent regarding the status of my application, I got an email notifying me that extra verification is being dome and my application may take longer. Dos this mean my application will take much longer to be completed

Have patience. At least wait for the processing time to be reached.

dont worry its not just you by many of us FSWO USA applicants is taking longer than ususal its because are files are being processed in CIO Sydney NS and the issue is they have other types of applications that are being processed too, they have a huge backlog where they are processing March-April files currently and few of May files (maybe), and upcoming student visa intake is also processed there on priority basis sso that they can attend school in time. other than this they process all the intake of regular express entry files for R10 completeness checks so its a lot going on and in the middle our files are stuck there and thats why it is taking soo long for FSWO USA.

Once I receive back my passport with COPR, is it better to set an appointment to get PR or do flagpole?

I do not have a US Visa.

Please advise with previous experiences. Thanks a lot!

I got below update. Can somebody help me understand if final decision will be done at Sydney CIO or it will be sent to some other VO?

  • Your application is currently being processed at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
  • The background verifications are currently valid
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is currently valid
my AOR is 22nd Aug.
Medical passed 16 Sep 2019
Biometric submitted 19 Sep 2019
I got PNP from Ontario through express entry.
@legalfalcon - could you please help me interpret this?

Its a sign of movement in your file. you can either call IRCC to ask what it was about or order gcms.
but its a good thing, someone looked into your file either way.
Hi yuyu!

Could you please share the contact number you are using to check the application status?
Somehow +1.888-242-2100 isn't working when called directly from US.

I see that you have received your PPR last week. Congratulations!!
Also, which visa office is yours?

Thanks,
Akhil

Posting for the first time..
This forum has been very helpful to me understanding the procedure and the wait time currently it takes.

AOR: 17th Aug 2019
Medical: 10th Sept 2019

No updates on my cic account but called 2 weeks ago to be sure about my application and was told that everything is going good with my file and the guy updated me that Eligibility/Background/Security all is done for me and my wife. Exactly after 10 days i got an PPR-interview email yesterday.

I am an applicant under PNP-Express Entry from Manitoba. Two of my friends applied under CEC category are waiting from last six months. Patience is the key. Good Luck to All !!!
Hi Sp15,
Who did you call to get updated on your Eligibility/Background/Security ? Agent or IRCC ?

My AOR is 21 Aug, time processing bar reached 100% 14 days ago but nothing changed yet.

If anyone know how to call IRCC, please feel free to educate me. Thank you!

How can I find out my Visa office?
When I mail or talk to the agents they refuse to share any information :(
