Me.
Just spoke to someone I know, who is aware of the functioning of the govt machinery in Canada. There's Ontario General Elections coming up in June 2018, for which most of the govt agencies are busy. Hence, the great delay from Ottawa VO.


Interesting. Why would elections delay government workers processing our applications?
 
like everything associated with this process.. even the time taken by NDVO is unpredictable. as per immitracker the avg for NDVO is 125 days from AOR. my file moved to NDVO around 9th feb and i am still waiting... AOR 21 dec..... so there is really no timeframe...
My AOR 20 DEC 2017
Still waiting :(
 
I'm myself clueless :D

How did you come to know that your file is moved to ndvo?
I called up CIC 2 days back .They confirmed.me that my file.is not in Canada but outside Canada ,since my nationality is Indian
Even my agent told most of cases are New Delhi
So I m relying on that

Congratulations on your PPR.
To your questions.
1. London stamps passports within few days so you should have your passport back within 7 days.
2. Your visa expiry will be June 17 not 18 and you have to land in Canada on or before that date.
3. The visa expiry date cannot be extended. If you miss it, that is PR gone. It will be stated clearly on your COPR.
4. The charges are high but it is not upto what you've already spent to get to this point.
I wish you the very best.

Thanks @Dscpl1, I assume June 17 is a typo, It will be June 18.

Thanks for your response on other queries.

I received request to pay the landing fees of $490, what does this mean from here on? My consultant told me that she received it a month back on 14th march and it was only paid today, will this affect my application anyway?

If the medical was done 17th June 2017, the visa will expire 17th June 2018. If @Rockstar1985 is in Ireland the only visa office available is London. I don't think there is a need for a change of visa office
Thanks a lot for the clarification. Much appreciated.

Looks like you have a slacker as a consultant. What kind of a consultant waits for a month to notify their client of this development? She should be fired.

It means your file is progressing and initial eligibility check is done.

Thanks for responding. I know i was so pissed at her. What stage does this mean i am on and i hope the delay in paying landing fees wont affect my application?

Guess coz they are "government workers" and the govt needs to ensure smooth elections. Apart from of course the internal processes for pre and post election tasks/data-related work. That's what I am thinking...
