Congratulations! What is your AOR and current status of PR?

Thank you!! My AOR is 20th October 2018
(CEC stream). I’ve been in the “ip2” stage since medical passed update(20th Nov). The last movement in my account was a ghost update (application/profile updated) on 5th December. I checked my account when I saw it but there was no change in it, and I’ve been waiting since then. How bout you?

Hi! Has anyone who applied between Oct 23 and 26 gotten any news so far?
I applied for my BOWP on Oct 26 (80 days today) and I've had no news yet. Last time I called CIC, I couldn't get to an agent; I'll try again today.
Thank you!

Hi, raise a CSE online. I got an update a week after raising CSE.

Congratulations. Do you have a draft of a message that you sent while raising a case online for BOWP status? If you can share what info need to give along with body of the message. It will be helpful to me as well as others..

The summary of enquiry was that, as per CIC processing timelines, by application was suppose to be processed by now, but I had not seen any update. Got a vauge response the next day saying the case officer than been informed of the delay and that they will get in touch.

Hello,

I applied to EE under CEC in August from Quebec and currently in IP2. My intention is to leave Quebec and settle in Ontario whenever I find a job or become a PR. I have family and friends in Ontario and I have studied there. Currently I am employed in Montreal and my PGWP expires in late April. My questions are
1. Is it possible to extend my work-permit through BOWP program from Quebec and still work in Montreal while waiting for my PR? or Shall I move out first and then apply for the BOWP?
2. If I apply for extension through Quebec (which is a closed work-permit) would it negatively impact my EE application? The reason I am asking is that based on the CIC website Quebec residents are not eligible for BOWP but on their website it clearly says if I am in quebec and hold a CSQ (which I do) I can extend my stay though Quebec. But then I am confused if it is a negative point as I have intended I will move out of Quebec...

Hello,

I applied for PR - CEC on Dec 14, 2018 and BOWP on Dec. 19, 2018.
My pgwp expires on Feb 7, 2019.

I was wondering how long should I wait before asking any updates to IRCC by phone or CSE.
Do we have a tracker for BOWP???
I believe that I will get my medicals passed by Friday.. How long is taking to have an answer after the medical exam is cleared?

Thank you so much!

As per current trend, it seems like process time is 80 days for Online applicants. I see people from Oct who applied for BOWP still waiting for an answer. Mine is from 1st week of Nov and waiting for the response yet.
