I personally think they will not look at your file until the 60 day deadline i.e. your "bring forward date" - around the middle of this month. If they are free they may do it before, but after the "bring forward date" - and assuming there is no backlog, they would then consider your file.

Hey Can u please elaborate more about "bring forward date" ..?? what this is actually and when is 60 days deadline begins ... from MR or from PER ..??

Friends....i applied under 2172 from USA and app received CIC on 29 Dec 2014. I have already applied for FBI PCC. Is it advisable to apply for state PCC as of now or wait to hear from VO (in future)? Some people say only FBI PCC is needed, however some say state PCCs are also required.

State PCC are not considered by CIC.

CIC website clearly stated on their website that, which kind of Police certificate they do accept.

Dear pssreddy25 ,

Here is the reference from CIC website that state PCC may also be requested:

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?

Yes, Applicants should provide a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) certificate with fingerprints. State certificates may also be requested. The Visa Office will advise you if state certificates are required in your case.

 

[JustRaf]

Hey Can u please elaborate more about "bring forward date" ..?? what this is actually and when is 60 days deadline begins m MR or from PER ..??

What I believe he means ( and personaly I think this might be logical) that the VO send letter requesting for documents including MR and gives you 60 days to submit these documents. They might be just archiving the file and will not resume processing untill those 60 days they gave as a period to submit needed documents are over. So even if you submit everything in the first day they requested then that will not change the fact that ur next milestone is 60 days far. Nobody actually knows the details of processing but that might make sense.

You are true.

FBI PCC is a mandatory requirement if you reside in USA. Presently taking 2.5 months to get it.

State PCC is a case dependent. they may ask for State PCC or may not. i never seen a single candidate who was requested for state PCC. Time line to get state PCC is hardly 2 weeks.

My advice is, do not worry about State PCC.

Thanks JustRaf... I think this same too but processing time on SS from MR to PPR is 45 days .. so I am hopeful they process soon.

 

[ASMIA]

PPR has been landed my INBOX ;D ;D

Wow! congrats!

Congrats. Its same time everybody got PPRs yesterday(Ottawa time 3:19pm 8th Jan).

 

[sevagha]

Hi bro,

Thanks for your reply and congrats for your PPR.

I'm living outside Canada and i don't know is it a wise decision to go for GCMS now using a third party?

Dear Egyptian applicants who went through MR, may i get your feedback on time frame to get 2nd line or MR request?
Also did u get any employer verification?

its now 40 days since PER and i didn't get anything from CPC-O, your feedback is highly appreciated.

It took me 45 days after PER to receive the MR and the 2nd line was added 2 days after the MR e-mail.
As for employer verification, I did not get one.

 

[mikeypm]

Thanks JustRaf... I think this same too but processing time on SS from MR to PPR is 45 days .. so I am hopeful they process soon.

Thats an average though and I am over 50 days without response as yet

 

[ASMIA]

Hi there

I got my 4th line updated on Jan 9th, but have not received PPR yet.

4. A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.

Does this mean a rejection? Did it happen to anybody? Please reply.
