Hello, are you CEC inland too?

We got MEP on July 4th and did not notice any update. I'm just so amazed how fast it is for others to get PPR :)
 
Hi guys,
AOR- May 12
MEP - June 24
BGC- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check (on June 24)

I haven't got any other update after that. Do you guys know how long it is gonna take to change the BGC status to We are conducting your Background check?

What are the factors that affecting the process?
Is the RCMP certificate same as biometrics?

Immi tracker is just for a rough idea about processing. Each application is different from others. Some may take a week to approve and some stay in process for a year. Next time you call CIC ask if anything is marked as Review Required?

Does anyone know what the average response time is after MEP/RPRF in the Sydney NS office?

hello,

AOR - 24 th may

RPRF fees requested - 24 th june

can anyone advise does it take usually these long after RPRF fees reqeust.?

cec inland application.
 
CEC applicant, based in Toronto. I’m the principal applicant + 1 dependent (my husband).

My timeline:
1. AOR: May 23rd, 2019
2. Medical Exam Passed: July 3rd, 2019
3. RCMP request for dependent: July 3rd, 2019
4. RCMP uploaded in the system: July 23rd, 2019 (waiting for the “Review of additional docs” tab to be updated as it still reflects “we need additional docs”).

Quick question: does anyone know if I should expect to provide Biometrics as well? Are these mandatory?
It would be great if you can share your experience as I’m really hoping that biometrics are not mandatory :)

Thanks!

Is that a good or bad sign?

He said that my application is under process, he didn't say anything in detail.
