I was just wondering because I have a gift deed towards my POF, I suppose it could be one of the reasons for the delay...
Also one of the company I worked, doesn't maintain a proper website. Incase background check if that matters. Apart from all these I can't understand why my application is delaying
My issue could be the organization I am working in. Being a PSU there are accessibility issues during BG... Mebbe... But can I really help that you know?

I know this is very irritating. You would think that priority would be given for completing older applications first rather than finishing newer applications happening in February in a super speedy manner.

I get the fact that each application has its conditions and may vary in processing time. Its just that I don't get why this processing time varies to this huge degree between different applications ...

Hmmm... I am so speechless...
The Canadian Immigration system which is considered to be the finest, still has a lot of flaws in it...

Well, for all fairness Canada has never been known for its fast processing ... We might as well get used to it now :D

Nobody can predict when PPR will come out. Just keep hoping okay.
All processing follows the pattern, while you can't say what exact date you will be requested to submit the passport, you can make intelligent assumptions using the tracker.

If I request GCMS notes now and then the application moves forward and maybe if it gets stuck again, can I order the GCMS notes again? will that effect my application?

Ordering GCMS notes has no bearing on whether your case is process faster or not. For the person who did and their case progressed is just a mere coincidence. If your AOR is December you are still within normal processing times. CIC says that they try to process applications in six months or less. Furthermore a December AOR puts you at the two months mark. Just relax and get used to six months for processing. If it happens before then hooray if not then it is what it is. Some people have been waiting since mid last year or even longer than that. Have some patience and continue to live your life.

Hi Guys,

Starting thread for those who have AOR in December 2017 - please join for discussion and knowledge sharing.

Below I will post some information which you may find useful going forward.

December AOR Tracker is HERE.

Hi
Some FAQ:

Q: How to find my visa office?

A: Send E-mail to: CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
Subject: E000xxxx - Visa Office
Body of the mail:
Hello,

I am trying to find out in which Visa office my application is being processed?

Application number: E000xxxx
Date of Birth: 19xx-xx-xx
Last Name: xxx
First Name: xxxx
UCI: -
Category of Immigration: Federal Skilled Worker

Q: Can you explain background status changes (by other forum member, not my):

A: Background statuses explained:

There are two different things. Application status remains in process until we complete stamping.

Regarding BG status - It will go through different stages and let me try to make it clear to you to avoid any further confusion.

Prior to March 7, CIC used to maintain the below BG status.

  1. Not needed at this time (NN)
  2. Not Started (NS)
  3. In Progress (IP)
After March 7, they paraphase the above status as follows.

  1. Not Applicable (NA) ( Old Status :: NN)
  2. Next to step to conduct BG Check (NBG) (Old Status : NS)
  3. In Progress (IP)
People in the threads are using the above status interchangeably. So, don’t get confused.

Now as far as BG process is concerned, it will go through the below trends. I’m using new status words for your reference.

Trend 1: NA -> IP -> NA -> IP
Trend 2: NA -> NBG-> NA-> IP

Some people who are submitting RCMP along with eAPR follows Trend 2 and rest Trend 1. I may not be 100% accurate. But this is what I noticed for CEC Inlanders.
Once the applicant at IP(2), he can expect PPR anytime soon.

Regarding at what stage BG will change??

STAGE 1:: After we submit our application, the BG status would be NA and it will be there until we see a change in Medical status (Passed).

STAGE 2:: After medical update is done, then agent at CIO will change our BG to IP or NBG. Then, he will start R10 check, Criminal checks.

STAGE 3:: After the above checks are done, then he will change BG to NA and our file moved to next stage for Eligibility assessment (A11.2) . Once he/she feels that we are meeting the Eligibility then he/she will provide his/her recommendation to Visa Officer and initiate the Security Clearance. At this point only our file will be moved from CIO to CPC.

STAGE 4:: Officer at Local Visa Office (LVO) will review the recommendation, Security clearance reports. Once he/she satisfies then he/she will approve the recommendation. Then our BG will be changed to IP again. This is where PPR(Passport Request) mails triggered to applicants.

I will post more as we progress.

Thanks!

Good Luck!

Nope- many applicants supply gift deeds, and so did I. Your latter hunch may be true and that could be the reason for the delay.

You're fine with the employer bit. Now on the 2nd bit, you already took the risk of submitting it- why check with us here if its fine? We can only hope to say it'd be fine.
