[Bhaa]

Hi all, this my 1st comment on this forum, My AOR is 14th Dec and have no access to my application status as i have representative, So i just called IRCC, they confirm to me that my Med pass, eligibility done and BG check only criminality is completed by security not started yet. so i would like to understand what stage I am now? do i still expect my application processing still might take extra 4 month from now. I'm inland PNP applicant.

You're in Real IP2 (see my signature for description of terms). I don't know about PNP inland, but CEC people are regularly getting PPR every day here already for December AORs. I'm not sure that we have a lot of PNPs here. If we do, I haven't seen a ton.

Hi @Bhaa, I’m a fellow inland PNP applicant on the AIPP scheme, I only know from fellow AIPP applicants that our applications are taking around 3 to 5 months at the moment.

I had my application's estimated processing timeline changes from xx months to 18 weeks today . I also called the IRCC using the instructions in the signature of @USProgrammer. Although , I'm in Canada but I recently moved from US and used my US phone # to call ,. I was able to get to an agent in 5-6 mins , I told her I am calling to check the status of my EE application, she asked where am I calling from : I said US , then she said - hold on a sec and transferred me to another hotline apparently, which said Welcome to IRCC and then proceeded to disconnect itself by saying your call cannot be completed. Looks like IRCC is finding new ways for handling so many calls.

Hi there, Well i think that applicable only for the Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island , not sure if Ontario PNP applicant has same processing time or still within 6 month processing time.

Add *67 before the number and you'll be able to get to IRCC.

If you're in Canada, why did you say you're calling from the US? It seems like the system/agent understood this to mean you were an Outland candidate trying to get information on the Inland (1-888) line. Just dial from a Canadian number next time? Edit: Or block your caller ID? But it sounds like the wait on the Inland line is 5-6 minutes, which is considerably shorter than the 45 minutes I waited when I called the 1-613 line!

Just to add my 2 cents here: The 888 # is the inland line, but the 613 # transfers to you to the same line. They are the same queue, but he/she just got lucky with the wait time.

You can't directly call the 888 # from outside the US, but you can get transferred to it via "1 1 1" on the 613 #. If you appear to be from outside the US, they won't transfer you though. The 888 # (or 1 1 1 option on the 613 #) is intended for inland. That's why you have to do *67.

As a technical aside: you can't block your caller ID to toll-free (800, 888, 866, etc) numbers. That's why calling the 888 # with *67 doesn't work from the US. They get all the data about who is calling since they are paying the bill.

However with the 613 #, you are paying the bill, and thus you can block your caller ID.

All of the above is to the best of my understanding, but I think he/she just got lucky on the hold time.

PS - I don't know why you'd say you're calling from the US when you're in Canada and the number is intended just for inland uses, either.

Yeah the Atlantic program is EE, sorry I’m not 100% sure on the Ontario PNP program timeline for PR. If you look on the Provincial thread on here I’m sure you will find fellow applicants. Good luck.

Just wanted to provide some additional data...
Went through my daily ritual of logging on to the cic account and saw another ghost update.
Third ghost update... wondering what this means...

Hey guys,

My AOR is 14th Dec 2018. Right now I think I am in IP2, I got ADR IMM 5669E on Feb 8th, submitted on Feb 9th.

When I login to MyCIC, it says
Review of additional documents Not applicable.
Background Check - We are processing

I am inland CEC applicant. Can someone with the same timeline keep in touch as I am planning for a trip back home for some urgent purpose in March end.

 

[GenDent]

Nothing as yet.
My timeline just changed to 18 weeks from 4 months today morning though.
Let me know when you see IP2
Hopefully it will be soon!

Hi whats your status? I have just entered 17 weeks, did you get ip2?
