Hello All,

I am sharing my timeline for express entry and permanent residence for those still in the agonizing waiting phase of the process. I hope you all get approved before you know it :)

Stream: FSW Outland
Country (Nationality and residence): Jordan
Applicant+family: 3
Visa Office: Amman
Additional documents: None

ITA: 21 Feb 2018
Application Submitted (including medicals and RPRF): 01 Mar 2018
AOR: 01 Mar 2018
MEP: 08 Mar 2018
IP1: 08 Mar 2018
NA2: 04 May 2018
IP2: 04 May 2018
PPR: 17 May 2018

Passport sent: 20 May 2018
Application updated to "Approved": 24 May 2018
Passport received with visa and COPR from VAC: 24 May 2018

ADVISE: To have the smoothest running application, you need to read a lot prior to taking any move. for example, reading let me know that I have to submit my IELTS report with my academic records, otherwise the application would have been delayed or may be rejected, who knows! Also, be as careful as possible when applying to avoid any unwanted mistakes, any effort you make at the beginning will surely save you time and trouble ahead.

Trackers for other peoples' timelines can be found on:
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers
but note that not all people fill all of their information, so, my advise is to filter out the ones that have already gotten PPR.

For those of you new to the process and common abbreviations:
ITA: invitation to apply for PR.
AOR: Acknowledgement of receipt of PR application.
MEP: Medical exams passed.
IP1: Backgraound check status "in progress" for the first time (status text: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check)
NA2: status of background check become NA for the second time.
COPR: Confirmation of permanent residency.
Further information on PR application stages can be found in those two articles:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/what-happens-after-ita-especially-background-check.481762/page-2

Hope you all get through the application as fast as possible!

What do you mean by academic record?? Did you submit transcript or just Ielts, WES and degree certificate.

Yes, IELTS, WES, and certificate... No transcript.
But the help on the CIC website does not tell you to attach all of those together.
And it is a bit counterintuitive since attaching WES report implies that you have the certificate.
That's an example where reading came in handy.
