CEC Applicants - Jan 2021 **Join Here**

My AOR - Jan 16, 2021.. Medical passed on 09-Feb-2021.. but still waiting for biometric request letter.. but for my wife, it got updated once my medical passed (my wife already gave biometrics 2 yrs before).. any guess for the delay of BIL for me alone?

Yes I believe because I did mine last yr

seems like all are getting their BIL as soon as their medical passed (except those who already gave).. but im the one who is still waiting for BIL. even if I call IRCC, they used to end up my call saying that over volume of customers on queue.. I tired at 9 AM

I got ITA on 7th January 2021 draw and submitted my applicaion on 11th January 2021 as I already had all the documents ready hence was able to submit quickly, I received AOR on the same date 11th January.

HI Did you get your PCC and medical also done

Hi all,

Post Biometrics, the applicants name on CIC profile is showing twice in capital letters (upper case). Is anyone else facing similar issue?

Mine turned into all caps but twice? You mean if your name is John Doe its now showing JOHN DOE JOHN DOE?

 

[canpermit]

Yes, that's what I meant, are in same boat? and what's the remedy for the same?

its showing "DOE JOHN DOE JOHN"

Hmmm yeah my name turned from normal format to all caps but its not showing twice. Might want to raise a webform and clear it up.

Hi Guys,

hopefully someone can help me understand the timeline, I am a inland CEC applicant. I got my ITA in Dec 2020, waiting for my Indian PCC to submit my application. Once I submit my application, how long does it take to get COPR and actual PR, assuming that I do not need biometrics? I want to change my job so any info is highly appreciated.


Thank you

Thank you

From the current trend and as per IRCC official website it will take 6 months minimum after you submit the application not after you receive ITA

Same with me not showing up twice it turned to caps though

is 6 months maximum or can it exceed 6 months? (assuming all documentation is correct)

 

[andy830623]

Its not a maximum, it can exceed 6 months and recently most of the application are projected to exceed the 6 month timeline. Think of the 6 month time as a target that IRCC tires to reach.

Below is the yearly report for average processing time

Express Entry Program	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019
Canadian Experience Class	3	6	4	5	7
Federal Skilled Worker	5	6	4	6	9
Provincial/Territorial Nominees	4	5	6	6	9
Federal Skilled Trades	5	6	6	7	12
For all programs	4	6	5	5	8
