Does IRCC process paper based application?

[Just_J]

Good
Can I know where did you apply
I am from Iraq processing in Jordan- Amman

That's great. I'm from Kenya. My file is being processed in Tanzania.

I applied on the 16th of March and linked my paper application to the GC key. I kept checking the account every day for some sort of update but nope. Stopped checking it since May. Around the end of July, I simply logged in and it said "Medical passed- June 11th", and the eligibility and background review had already begun. I had no clue.

But since then its been very silent, apart from a ghost update that I managed to find a couple of days ago.

It is sad that students who have submitted full applications (paper based) 5-6 months ago aren't given any priority or even any updates about their application. Students who have applied in recent months are getting their AIP's almost instantly, and I'm definitely happy for them, but the IRCC shouldn't be neglecting the older applications.

You might want to consider ordering for your GCMS notes to get further details.

how can i apply for GCMS notes?

I used the same site as moha87a's link.

 

[Just_J]

I ordered it through this website
https://www.thegcmsonline.com/

I don't know how long it takes

It usually takes 30 days or less to receive it.

I applied from Brazil on January 3rd.
paper based application.
Background and Eligibility review have started on March.
No updates since.
Unfortunately, only on my WhatsApp group has 16 familys with pape based applications applied before lockdown waiting.
It is absolutely sad what IRCC is doing.
Many persons that have applied on Jun/Jul are receiving AIP here in Brazil. And we, that have complete applications, are forgotten.

Totally unfair
They must at least say we can't processing paper applications and return them so we can apply online...
It's not our responsibility their chaos management

I'm planning to defer to winter 2021 even if my GCMS notes return positive results because doing my course online from my home country has too many disadvantages. Your situation is quite complicated, you'll have to weigh your pros and cons.

Hey,

Nothing new, still waiting

Finally, a paper applicant outside of India that got an AIP. Hopefully, the trend will continue across various countries.

I had applied paper and yesterday I received the AIP.
Applied in 25 february and on 18 of august my reviewing of eligibility starts and 3 days later I got my AIP.
So I believe they are processing application through paper
