Guys I've had a roller coaster time with this whole PR thing.

I'll tell you my story since there is no other news happening right now.

I applied for PR in October 2014. CIC received my application on October 20th 2014 (Soooooooooooooo lucky). I received confirmation in Feb 19th 2015. I applied for BOWP in march as my work permit was finished in April 1st. June I received an email to say they rejected BOWP as my passport photo never attached online so they rejected it based on an incomplete application. (I could rant about this for hours but I won't bore you all). I went home to Ireland and came back to Canada in Jan 2016 as a visitor hoping I was only a few weeks from getting PR (luckily my job allows me to work anywhere in the world with just my laptop).

In March 2016 (The day of my birthday) I received an email from CIC telling me my application was rejected because I was a contractor for the majority of my experience here in Canada. The next day I went and got a lawyer to represent me. He told me I had nothing to worry about and that he will file an appeal with the DOJ.

(Even though your company say you are a contractor for tax purposes you can actually be legally deemed an employee due to the relationship between you and the employer. e.g if you work in their building, they set your tasks and time, you are using their equipment, and you are not allowed to subcontract out the work. All this means you are legally deemed an employee)

Anyway, He filed the appeal with the DOJ in which I had to sign an affidavit. May 3rd I received an email from the DOJ saying that CIC had agreed to re-review my case. May 23rd I received the RPRF email. I paid immediately! May 25th they emailed me again requesting to do RCMP police checks as my old ones had expired. I went and did them immediately.

Now its a waiting game for them to receive the results and hopefully next stop ppr :)
Congrats on getting your case reopened! Good luck with the rest of your application :)

MP told me I should hear by mid June fingers crossed CIC did provide accurate information to the MP office :-\

GCMS notes were requested in April 26-27 I don't exactly remember and received them couple days ago due date was May 5, and location is CEC pending.

Got my GCMS today which says due date was May 21st. Eligibility passed, Medical passed, Criminality passed, RPRF paid, Security Pending. MP's office said everything is passed and they are in final stage of approving my application. I have given PCC along with my application. So just patiently waiting. Got my BOWP in mail today which was applied on Sept 21st 2015.

4th line has been added in ECAS "We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on February 20, 2015".
Have you received any updates from CIC? I had the same line added recently, but I haven't heard anything yet.

It takes about 10-15 days after being approved... Now the question is how long it takes to be approved. Some people have had it approved in 10 days, mine took about 2 months.

I would put the original address you live in now, then redirect your mail to the new address when you move in case you have not received it yet, instead of trying to change your address with CIC.

I also went to my MP on Monday . MP office mentioned that I will hear within 10 days.

It is very frustrating that CIC is not even meeting the due date deadlines now. I think for all of remaining October applicants RFV/due date was in May but they are purposely delaying our PPR requests.

It is very sad and awful .Don't know when they gonna free us from this wait pain... :'(

Hang in there guys. Lets pray CIC wakes up soon.

One common thing I noticed in coupe of GCMS Notes is LOCATION : CEC PENDING. I also noticed that if they ask for any additional document request in April 2016, you see CEC Pending in your GCMS.

To all who got their GCMS notes recently, can you please check on page 2 and see if you have CEC PENDING?
