ADRs
As we can see the number of ADRs is somewhat downward, as applicants get more familiar with the EE processes, most of the documents are uploaded at the getgo. Additionally, summer seem to be a time when CO don't want to request too much.


Some PNO Related statistics:
*As we can see BC and NB are by far have the longest processing time, therefore, if you are after getting your PPR quick, go for MP or ON.


PNP nominations and approvals this year as of today


Thanks very much everyone! and enjoy rest of your week!

Ping me with questions and good luck with you application

Many are asking:

What are GCMS notes?


GCMS notes is a complete and most recent information from your Canadian immigration/visa file

GCMS stands for the Global Case Management System, which is used by the Government of Canada to store and process all immigration and visa applications worldwide.
If you have ever submitted any application to the Canadian immigration authorities – for example an application for permanent residence, for a visitor visa, study or work permit etc. – your application and all information about its processing is stored in GCMS

You can request GCMS notes - information from your file stored in the system. Inside you will find immigration officers' notes that will allow you to understand how your current application is being processed

GCMS notes can be requested from Canada or by a Canadian citizen only
