Hi Raj,

I got an email titled "Ready for Visa", and they are asking for my passport. I'm pretty sure this is the PPR email, and its asking me to send my passport to Ottawa. :)

Hi Raj,

Please add me in the Nov eAPR sheet.

FSW-O
ITA : 19th Oct 2016
eAPR: 22nd Nov 2016
AOR: 22nd Nov 2016
Medical Status: Passed on 24th Nov 2016
BG Status change:

NS>>IP on 24th Nov 2016
IP>>NN on 25th Nov 2016

PA+ Dependents: 3
Country of Residence: India
No other update since November 25th 2016. Ordered GCMS notes from GCMSNow.com on 2nd Feb 2017
LVO: NDVO
File transferred to LVO: Jan 2017 first week

Thanks.

Please suggest what could 'the first change of BG Check status to IP' mean. I mean, is it a normal trend to get the status changed to IP within 2-3 days of AOR and then back to NN so soon? I am yet to receive request for RPRF Fee.

Hi, Yes it's normal for the change in BG. It was similar for me. As soon as medical passed BG was IP and within few days went back to NN & is still same as of now.

Question guys:

I changed my address. I filled IRCC form to notify the same. I got automated reply saying they will acknowledge within 5 business days. I haven't received any reply yet, it has been 7 business days. I am FSW-O applicant from USA. I don't know my visa office yet, as I am Indian citizen. What should I do?
Anyone, please help. Much appreciated.

Got my PPR this morning, the email was sent last night at 11:40. CIC account hasn't updated yet. Timeline below

Stream: CEC inland
AOR: Nov 24 2016
Med pass: January 13 2017
RCMP request for spouse: January 17 2017 submitted on 24th.
BG: changed to IP on January 13 2017, no change after that.
PPR Email: February 13 2017.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experience and encouraging each other for the painful wait. Good luck!~~

To be honest, there were nights after nights I wake up around 4:00 am and check my email and the forum and couldn't sleep. Looking back, this definitely made a mark in my life. For everyone who is still waiting, the day will come and try to minimize the impact on your ordinary life while waiting.
