Guys I was always following this specific thread to estimate on timelines and find answers to some of the questions faced. Today marks the day when I have completed the PR process, including the tedious wait of about 80 days post landing to get the physical PR card in hand. I would like to share my timelines and case -
Application Eligibility - CEC, FSW
Express Entry Score - 1071 (LMIA holder)
ITA - Jan 31 for FSW
Application Submission - Mar 4
AOR - Mar 4
Payment - Both fees (Application fee + PPR Fee)
First Update on Ecas - Medicals have been received after 30 days
First Update on MYCIC - May 21 (Review of eligibility pass, BG check in progress, Medicals pass) - Got an email for this that the application has been updated
Second Update on MYCIC - May 26 (BG Check complete) with information letter in MYCIC inbox, which was the passport request
Passport sent the next day May 27, received it back on June 8
Landed at Landsdown border/ thousand islands border on June 9
PR Card shipped to Toronto and received on August 31
I am not going to disappear from this forum, but rather stick around and help those who need help. Throughout the process I did not hire an immigration lawyer, but have a very close family friend who runs a reputed immigration firm in Toronto. I consulted with them and their estimates were on the mark for timelines and reasons were logical. God bless us all.

Hi guys
I have just come across the EE statistics and was knocked out by it. It is, so far, only 5% approval. Number of people who received ITA is 12017 and number of people who get PR is 655. I understand that a lot of applications are still in process but still 655 is very low.
What do you think about it?

Hi!! I just joined this forum but I was following it for sometime now. I am inland applicant applying from Montreal/Quebec. I created my EE profile on January 14th and got the ITA on March 27th. I completed my application and uploaded my documents by April 15th.
I knew that EE was not present in Quebec as the province has its own system for skilled workers but I had applied to it because I wanted to move to Toronto. All along I knew at one point during the process that CIC will contact me to ask me about the move since I was living and working in Montreal and I was transparent about that in my application & I mentioned I wanted to move to Mississauga/Toronto as I have family there but I though it would midway through the process or earlier and will give me enough time to react. Anyways, long story short today I got this communication from CIC:
"This is in reference to your application for a permanent resident visa.
I have almost completed the assessment of your application for permanent residence in the Federal skilled worker Class category.
The Federal skilled worker Class is a class of persons who may become permanent residents on the basis of their experience in Canada and who intend to reside in a province other than the province of Quebec.
Temporary Foreign Workers and foreign graduates who want to stay in Quebec do not qualify under the Federal skilled worker Class. Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec.
Next steps
Please respond to this email with written evidence that you intend to live in a province other than Quebec in order for me to make a final decision on your application. Your application number must be included in the subject line of your response. I note that you are currently employed and residing in Montreal, Quebec.
You have 7 days from the date of this letter to upload the requested information on your MyCIC account. If you choose not to respond with this information, it may result in the refusal of your application.
Regards,
"
I was wondering if anyone here knows what does CIC mean by "Written Evidence that you intend to live in a province other than Quebec"? Do they want like a signed letter from telling them I am moving there or they want to see that I've been applying to jobs in Toronto or if I already have a job offer and I'm moving? Am a bit confused as what do I need to send them as I'm still in Montreal and I only have a week to reply.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks

Express Entry Mid-year Report pubished by CIC:http404 said:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/reports/ee-midyear-2015.asp
What has been noticed lately is an increase of reports of straight rejection on the forum. For example, situations where they used to give chances to applicants to add missing documents, now become straight rejections. They are becoming more strict. This could also reflect the backlog they are facing.http404 said:
