hey folks! here's my application. Express Entry, CEC
ITA > Sep 17, 2020
AOR > Dec 7, 2020
Medical Passed > Jan 26, 2021

These are the only updates on my case. I haven't received any message/updates since. the weekly update date on the website is now on Dec 13-19, 2020 and I haven't been contacted at all during this time.

Is this normal?
Also ordered GCMS notes on July 4th, 2021. How much longer should I wait for it?
your cic account will never show any updates until your pr card is sent!
send an email to ATIP asking whats up with the delay.
you can also contact your MP to get a status update. If you havent been refused yet, its probably just pending a final check (security) or something dumb and will get finalized whenever its touched again

What’s the reason for RR?
Review work experience required
'Unclear that PA meets requirements of NOC'
A bit surprised...I've used the webform to send a letter of clarification signed by employer (risky, but nothing to lose given how strong worded the notes were)

Also it has been assigned to another officer
Notes say Assignment Application Due Aug 13, 2021
If anyone could tell me how long their 'review required' was and how long from that point until security and ppr, that would be great

Hi klguy,

As per GCMS, according to Case Analyst - my Foreign work-period defined in Express entry profile was not coinciding against the work-period defined in the initial LOE when I submitted my application. However, it was matching 100%, so I have submitted another LOE with additional proofs (salary slips of USA, Tax documents). Last week, when I spoke to IRCC agent they said that now Eligibility is approved.

Thanks, good to know that your eligibility was approved recently and LOE helped

Just got an update from my MP from IRCC:
  • Eligibility – not started
  • Security – not started
  • Criminality – in progress
  • Medicals – passed
After 8 months, literally zero work has been done. Has anyone have an idea of what the timeline will look like?

Try 5 - 10 times! That's right!
That is what it takes to get to talk to one of them. Spend good 30 - 45 minutes on the phone to call them back to back until you are in line to wait.

Hi guys, just received a ghost update day before yesterday. I just completed my biometrics on July 29th, confused whether this is for PPR or whether there is another one after this. Anyone here who had a similar update following biometrics?
