FSW Inland PR applicants

[rWolf]

Thanks for sharing this video. So insightful.

So for example, if your application is older than a year, you can ask for a Canadian police certificate beforehand and update your schedule A form and send them to IRCC before they ask you, so you will show them you’re still interested and skip the ADR step.

I wish I knew that before…

That part of the video I thought kinda "meh". I think it's good to be ready to submit any document whenever IRCC request that document, but send
any document just for sending, it does not make sense to me.

Especially RCMP Criminal Record Check. Both, IRCC and RCMP, ask that you don't take the check unless IRCC requests it.

It has been more than 2 years that I'm here, and my wife more than 1 year, and they only asked the check for my wife. So no, it's not because you are more than 6 months in Canada that they are going to ask it. They can ask, but I don't know how likely they are to ask it.

Lots of people got their PR approved without them asking it, only the last couple of months that they started to ask for it.

Fraser announced that Canada is planning to make 147,000 permanent residence final decisions in the first quarter of 2022—doubling that from the same period in 2021

I don't know where he said that, but I guess we should let them know that they only have 2 months to reach the 1st quarter's target.

I watched the video and he said that number yes. I was shocked because I don't know how he will do it (because he also said that FSW is delayed and will likely to still be delayed throughout the year, they focused on the people in Canada -CEC- and they will continue to do so, but also will try to reduce the backlog by not inviting more people.

A friend of mine just got their CoPR from Edmonton VO, CEC AOR Oct 2021... Only 3 months of waiting time... so I guess they are still prioritizing CEC.

Are you sure about background check showing as "Not applicable" is any sign for something?

I'm just asking because I have never had a GU or anything in my BOWP, and after I saw your message, I checked my application and it shows "Not applicable" for Background check as well. So I guess it was always like that?

I guess there will not be any change in any of the status whether eligibility or background check that was shown after submission until a decision is made.

Just got off the phone with Ircc to get an update on my PR application. So far passed medical, security and background check. Criminality in progress and Eligibility not started.
I’m additionally waiting for my bowp, no update on that.
Any idea how long would it take for them to complete Eligibility and criminality? Anyone in the same boat as me? My AOR is Feb 16 2021 VO Edmonton

I am not sure if BG status has any link to the approval or not.
But since I submitted my BOWP application there was no change. This morning I got a ghost update and the only change was BG status.
I initially thought somebody started working on my application.

After 50 mins or so, I got another update.
The final decision : Approved.

@Doyen_Toronto Did you end up withdrawing your Mandamus or they will do it after you receive your COPR?
