December 2018 AOR - join here

I've been following this thread but never participated, it's nice how ppl have become good friends without even meeting in person. Am wondering if ppl would meet up if we all get PR and start in the same province

I'd like that but I doubt anyone else is planning to move to SK or Manitoba.

I received my RPRF last week, my aor being Dec 5th. Might not mean anything. Have you received any ADR ?

Edit: quoted twice

Ok. No I didn't receive any ADR.

 

[Greenlandfm30]

Are you really applying from Greenland?!

An RPRF usually doesn't mean anything this early on in the game except that IRCC is ready to proceed with the next steps of your application and wants your money before it does. There was a time last year when the RPRF came much later in the processing stages and usually meant that a PPR was imminent.

No I am from Bangladesh.
But doesn't RPRF mean my file is almost approved and now they need the fees to issue PR?

RPRF request means you didn't pay it and they want your money before they go through the trouble of doing your criminality/security checks. You just delay yourself by not paying RPRF up front and apparently, it messes up NA2/IP2 to the point where you don't get to see those changes anymore, from what I've seen.

There's no reason not to pay RPRF upfront. They refund it if your application is denied prior to that point.

Where have you read that it messes up na2/ip2? As someone who has been stuck at IP1 I'm curious

Are you in IP1? What does your background check line say exactly?

Most of the RPRF requests or biometric requests I've seen make people go to IP2 and stay there.

Now you're dating yourself, hahahaha!

I realized that the wait is going to be long, I might as well chat with you guys. . The last time I chatted online was when Yahoo introduced Yahoo chat when I was in school

 

[SithLord]

Ok that's comforting, lol I thought na usually comes within a few days after ip1

Hope that made you feel better lol.

Nowadays IP1 and IP2 doesn't make much difference. I have been told some received PPR while still in IP1 stage

Did they ask you for IMM 5669?

 

[Aryefc]

Are you in IP1? What does your background check line say exactly?

Something like we will message you when we start your background check.

I got both RPRF and an ADR while on ip1, is that common?

 

[derkdsou]

I agree with @USProgrammer. People have really done themselves a disservice by not paying the RPRF upfront. Every RPRF request sent out by IRCC wastes valuable officer time and slows things down for everyone. In the rare instance that your application is rejected the RPRF is fully refundable.

You can see from the evidence in the forums right from September 2018 AOR that several people have paid their RPRF only to be met with months of silence. So where's the correlation with an imminent PPR? I wouldn't pay much mind to IP1/IP2 - it's all about the PPR after all.

RPRF request means you didn't pay it and they want your money before they go through the trouble of doing your criminality/security checks. You just delay yourself by not paying RPRF up front and apparently, it messes up NA2/IP2 to the point where you don't get to see those changes anymore, from what I've seen.

Hello Friends,
Good luck to all who are waiting for updates to their profiles and of-course the PPR email. I called the IRCC number and after a wait of almost 30 mins got connected to agent.

ITA - 15th Oct 2018 | AOR - 2nd Dec 2018 | MEP - 15th Jan | IP1 - 16th Jan| IP2(Background check in progress) 28 Jan 2019.

Following is what the IRCC agent responded:
Visa office - sydney , nova scotia

criminality - passed
security - not started

Forum experts : Wanted to know what should i decipher from it in terms of eligibility and how long does the security take to complete?

Appreciate your response.

Thank you.
