I was hoping someone could offer an assessment of my current situation, as I'm starting to grow concerned -- nothing has moved in several months!

Applicant: FSW - Outland (United States)
PNP: Yes - Ontario OINP


Application submitted: December 2nd, 2016

Current status:

1.) Application status - We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.  Help
2.) Review of eligibility - We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
3.) Review of medical results - You passed the medical exam. 
4.) Review of additional documents - We do not need additional documents. 
5.) Interview - You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
6.) Background check - Not applicable. 
7.) Final decision - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I've received no updates, no changes that I'm aware of for many several months, but it has been 147 days since our application has been submitted. I've checked my spam folders for the past few weeks and have received no updates, and no messages are waiting.

I've seen several other applicants who sent their applications after mine seem to get approved already and I'm concerned -- does anyone have any suggestions? I'm outside of Canada (in the United States) and so unable to call to inquire about my case.

Should I be worried that there have been no updates?

This is ridiculous and totally unacceptable. PNP stream is getting slower and slower day by day. Nov & Dec PNP applicants are waiting for PPR email and JAN & FEB FSW/CEC applicants are getting PPR mail. I can't understand their pattern.

I received my GCMS notes yesterday. In that note, they have mentioned that agent has verified section 11.2 & its OK. Recommendation: ***Review Required by Officer*** Ready to Finalize. this notes were added on 10 FEB. After that, There is no communication. my BG is still "NOT APPLICABLE". Can anyone help me with these notes? What it means?

What is going on with PNP applicants? I have send them an email twice but no response. Did we make any mistake by applying through PNP? Very disappointed with IRCC pattern of work. Sorry for frustration.

I don't think there's anything to worry about. You're a PNP candidate from the US, which makes your LVO Ottawa. You're essentially in the PNP-Inland stream, which unfortunately has been the slowest of all the streams (no idea why).

Hi all.

I am Dec (30th) AOR and a Pakistani applicant. I am confused after my call to CIC. At what stage does the file go to the LVO? I called up Ottawa office and they told me things are in order and it is in normal processing time as well so I should wait a little longer.

My file was still at Ottawa and had not been sent to the LVO designated for Pakistani applicants. Although my medicals have been passed and my additional documents request as well, both in January. My BG changed to in process end of March. So all this is happening at the Ottawa office. at what stage shall the file be sent to the LVO? When its passed and only for PPR request initiation?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Guys!

I would like to know about PR landing.

1) Should I land from the province I got Nomination (Nova scotia - PNP) or I can do landing from the province where currently I am living (Alberta)?

2) If I do landing process from the city currently I am living that is Calgary, Can I ask the officer to send my PR card to my current address or Should I ask them to send directly to nova scotia address?

I am asking these questions because Since I am living in Alberta if all landing process would be done here that will give me some time for moving to Nova scotia until I get PR card.

Guys, I need your suggestion. I am waiting for your quick response.Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Since most of you are already through application and nearly successful completion. Can you please advise on below.

Is it OK to exclude my current and most recent 2 years of work experience from my Work History and Put it in Personal history once i get ITA?

I have the relevant documents. It is just making things complicated and doesn't add any Value.

However Please advise if you are aware of any implications or any experience and what would be the most apt and correct route to follow.

Thank you for your help!!

I came across a number in one of the threads on this forum. Otherwise the official CIC no doesnt connect from overseas. I'll PM you the no once I look it up.

What stage is your application at?
