Can we all plz have a count? it seems all 1st 10 days of Aug from LVO are waiting. Not heard a single one getting PPR so far. I am Aug 9 PNP Outland applicant
Not jus 1-10th Aug, I'm Aug 24,the applicant and soon medicals in 60 days exipres,no indication for ppr yet.
No way to reach ndvo though we sent cse mails it's all generic reply nothing concrete.
What sad is all Jan Feb March 2018 applicants are getting ppr and not ones done last year.
I do not know if anyone can look backlogs instead as we are having our lives in confusion with this delay.
Any inputs anyone would help

FSW-Inland here, submitted my application on Aug 31 and received AoR on Sept 1. No PPR so far. As you mentioned, a person I know, who has Jan 2018 AoR received PPR in early May.
My Medical status changed from "You passed the Medical Exam" to "You do not need a medical exam. We will contact you if this changes" recently, and then back to "You passed the medical exam" a couple of days later. My Meds are valid till August.
Received a general reply twice on CSEs. Perhaps GCMS notes should be ordered, but not sure if they would help putting some light on the delay.

Regards,
SA

Please order GCMS notes since you already crossed the time line. In a ideal scenario the delay happens when the application gets selected for security check. and ordering GCMS notes also help in pushing the application in case the application check is already done and waiting for final review. Iam also an August 17th 2017 applicant. I did order my first GCMS notes when I got schedule A as ADR. This helped in understanding my file went through SS , the second one I ordered in December which mentioned 4 Security checks happening, however it was marked out. and December 29th I got PPR. So moral of the story GCMS notes always help in understanding your application status. and Dont worry there is no impact or harm in ordering GCMS notes

Even I was in SS, could you let me know how many SS have been marked , and what is the status . Status should be NS or retracted. In case SS in retracted which denoted they have completed the check. It would be wise idea to order to one more GCMS. Sometime cases go to backlog with new cases being processed. So GCMS notes always help in keeping the file up to date. This is based on my experience.

Hello All,

I received an ITA in September 2017 under the Express Entry system (FSW-O) and I submitted my application in Dec 2017. I was issued ADR (FBI-PCC) on Dec 13, 2017 and I sent those docs on Dec 27th, 2017. I passed medicals also in December, 2017. Since Dec, 2017 my application is in review of eligibility stage itself.

Sometime in January I realized that I didn’t send my experience letter from my previous employer. So I sent that letter through IRCC website on Jan 15th, 2018 and received a conformation on Jan 24th, 2018 that they will forward it accordingly to the department.

I ordered GCMS notes on Mar 27th , 2018 and received on Apr 27th , 2018. From the summary notes of the primary review officer (on Dec 13th, 2017) he recommended additional/further review of my previous employer. As the documents I submitted (along with the application) doesn’t provide clear information regarding job duties etc; All that required information is in the experience letter (that I sent later in Jan). I called CIC earlier this month and they are saying they have no exact date when a review officer will get back to my case.
How long does it take to review if they recommended additional review of application?
Has anyone faced/in similar situation?

I wonder if we can withdraw our application and resubmit. Will they refund for the processing fee?
If they issue refund I will withdraw and resubmit my application. Maybe I will get PPR sooner that way.

Regards,

Msrdy.

It’s normal. Because IRCC has huge backlogs, even I passed eligibility two weeks after AOr because of nice docs arranagement, but it’s been 2 additional months and no updates. No one has touched my file either. All we can do is remind IRCC and pray.

I am worried because, it has been more than 6 months in my case. Moreover, clearing eligibility is most important step in the PPR process.

Hi msrdy

I would not recommend you withdrawing the application, as i believe that this means you will need to be issued another invitation to apply. If i remember right it states when they issued the invitation that if we choose not to apply at this time and exceed the give time frame(90 days) we will need to be issued with a new invitation to apply and that there is no guarantee that another will be issued just because you were already given one invitation.

There are lots of cases where is exceeded the given time frame, I would suggest that you wait a few more weeks and see how it goes. However do keep following up once in a while and see how things are progressing, if you know your Local Visa office(LVO) maybe contact them directly and see what's the hold up as you have exceeded the standard processing time (if you have).

Also you can open a case specific enquiry if you have exceeded the 6months mark from the AOR date.

Hope this helps and wish you a speedy PPR. :)
