December 2018 AOR - join here

[USProgrammer]

Usprogrammer,

Were u required a biometrics? Since Asia and Americas cutoff was Dec 31?

Should I be expecting it since I only got MEP with no biometric request?

Thank you.

No. My dates and everything are in my signature. Dec 1 AOR.

No. My dates and everything are in my signature. Dec 1 AOR.

So the Dec 31 cutoff depends on the date of AOR?

Hi guys,

Can we recheck the fields that we filled in our application for AOR now? I wanted to make sure that we updated all the fields correctly but can't view them now. When I click "View Submitted Application", it takes me directly to the documents submitted page.

Thanks in advance!

That's why I picked and chose from November 2018 AOR to make my informed prediction, which was correct. The IP2 data is mostly garbage from MyImmiTracker.

Most people there don't seem to know what IP2 really is, and IP2 seems to be non-indicative at all for people who must give biometrics (everyone after Dec 31), those who had an RPRF request (didn't pay up front) and CEC. Possibly other inlands as well, but I don't know.

IP2 seems to only be meaningful if you are non-CEC (and possibly only outland), paid your RPRF up front, and you don't have to give biometrics. At least, that's what I've deduced from the data available to me and is what I used to make my prediction.

I am still in IP1 and expecting my IP2 next week based on my AOR (5th Dec). However, I did not pay RPRF upfront and was requested RPRF on 29th Jan. So, not sure if my transition from IP1 to IP2 will be normal. Though I expect it to be normal because I am in IP1 since I have MEP.

IP1 is when Background Check states : "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check".
and IP2 if Background Check is : "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

You are in IP2 but if IP2 is from the day one (i.e. since your AOR or close to that) then it won't tell you much. This happens with biometrics required and CEC applicants. Keep an eye on ghost update in next few days. I have read in this thread itself that ghost update for some IP2 applicants (Those who got IP2 since start) is kind of giving an indication of start of actual background check.

What exactly is the 'Ghost Update'? How does it look like?

Knowing your visa office doesn't really matter much anymore because visa offices do not play a central role in the processing of your application, according to @legalfalcon. The local visa office has played an increasingly smaller role since the EE changes of 2015.

He believes that most of the processing now takes place in this fashion:

1. Initial processing, R10 check, medicals and criminality at CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia
2. Eligibility is conducted at one of the four CPCs or case processing centers around Canada; CIO is also processing eligibility in limited numbers
3. Your local visa office (LVO) is normally where you have to mail in your passport following your PPR

The bulk of the processing occurs at CIO Sydney (NS) and one of the four CPCs, of which CPC Ottawa is the most significant one.

A final eligibility review of the application is apparently carried out at your LVO before eligibility is finally set to passed.

You may look at the names of the files you have uploaded, but you are unable to see what you filled in the various forms unless you took screenshots of them or saved them as PDFs (as I did) before submitting your application.
