Hi, guys What’s this “pending officer final decision” mean?
Thank you in advance.
An officer will do a final check to ensure that the applicant is still admissible and eligible for PR, before issuing a COPR.

all the stages such as eligibility criminality security and info sharing are completed now just waiting for finial decision
so you can expect copr soon
whats your AOR?
They appear to be a July 4th AOR

Criminality is the assessment of an applicant that they are not convicted of any serious crime as per the Canadian Criminal Code. This is based on PCCs, the biometrics you submit which are then processed by RCMP, and info sharing.

To read on criminality, seehttps://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/standard-requirements/tran.html

RCMP biometrics processing: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/corporate-initiatives/biometrics/process-steps-2018.html

Info -sharing: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/resources/manuals/in/in01-eng.pdf

The security screening process includes the collection of information form a variety of sources, including open search research and classified systems. Once collated, the information is analysed to determine if it is sufficient to support an inadmissibility recommendation pursuant to section(s) 34, 35, and/or 37 of the IRPA. Security is initiated when IRCC sends a request to the National Security Screening Division (NSSD) and screening partners. To read more on Security, when it starts and how it is done, see https://bit.ly/3apWglN

Since all the above are separate stages and done by partner agencies, it does take more time. Also, in some cases IRCC just hasn't initiated security.

Security won't start until Eligibility has been conclusively passed by a Senior officer.
Aight. They asked me to submit my transcripts couple days ago which I uploaded and its been to days they have not received them, its still showing that we need additional documents. Any idea how many days they take to update the account? Or should i call and ask them

Easiest way to check is by calling.

I believe it can take some time for them to acknowledge you've sent them in. Maybe 30 days? All applications are different though so guess it just depends when they look at your file.

Hello all,
I just called IRCC which was a lot easier to get through than I expected as they actually call you back instead of you having to wait on the line. It took 40 min for them to call me back and the agent lady was extremely polite.

Here is the update I got

Eligibility: Recommended Pass (which is the most import thing I wanted to hear at least)
Background: Next thing they will be working on
VO: Ottawa

My timeline is in my signature below.
