Hey Guys I got PPR on the 15 sept 2017

Here is my timeline :

13th 2017 May e-AOR
1st June 2017 Medical Pass
1st June 2017 IP1
1st June 2017 RCMP request
5th 2017 July submit RCMP
15 September 2017 PPR

CEC (Outland).

One thing That I realized is that our whole life shouldn't revolve around receiving the Golden email.
Cause sooner or later we will have a response. I understand we all have to make plans, but checking MyCIC so much often won't get it to be processed any faster.

Take time and enjoy being with your friends before you leave and land in Canada.

I feel lucky to have received my PPR, and I am gratefull to all the members on this forum to be so supportive.

for all the AOR good luck, I am sure at this stage you will all be granted

Hope you are doing great!
Got GCMS for my friend. Want your guys opinion on few urgent matters.

few of my questions regarding GCMS if anyone would have some insight to-
a) On page 4 of the notes there is mentioned "Counterfoil required: YES" (this is in Client details section), is this normal or something to worry?, what does this means?
b) On page 41 there is something mentioned as "item requested (1)- kit, application form" (in correspondence section). We received no request for anything, what does this means?
c) The most serious question, like I mentioned the Eligibility went from "not started" to "calculation in progress" to "review required" and the to "met" on the same day. I am extremely worried that to do all of you got this or was the "review required" some anomaly that they checked and then changed to met, is this something to be worried about and take action for??
Like on page 58 of GCMS Eligibility goes as- met, old- review required, old- calculation in progress, old- not started.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION- I have underlined the doubtful and worriesome part in red in the below text, rest all written in black is exactly as from my GCMS. (Though lines do not finsh where they finished in the original, i don't think that'll make a difference lol)
Under Notes 5 at the end under NOTES, on page 75 under the label EE Eligibility,
It says,

Text
REVIEW TYPE: Program assistant APPLICATION #E00000000 REGULATION: FSW I have reviewed this file based on the documents submitted by the applicant and information contained in the file and note the following. MIN SCORE: 415 CRS SCORE: 446 Principal applicant application promoted: Existing UCI Review Notes for representative: Has Representative Rep Number:XYXZX Rep info: John Doe Primary Applicant Medical attached to UCI: Yes Client fees: Verified---- LANGUAGES----- Principal Applicant 1-English-IELTS and Met threshold and Verified----EDUCATION---- Primary Applicant 1 ECA report Verified on issuing agency website; foreign credential conformed on ECA site ECA Canadian Equivalency Summary reported by issuing agency as Bachelor's Degree (Four years) and postgraduate degree (one year) Foreign credential provided----- POLICE CERTIFICATE------ Primary Applicant 1- India police certificate provided R10 OK
Recommendation: Review required------ AGE------- Applicants age reviewed and No change from ITA to e-APR Statutory details located in separate GCMS note.
Now my question is what is the meaning of this? Which review is required here? is it R10 or police Certificate or AGE?? This so confusing and worrying!! No commas etc to know which sentence finishes where!! Please anyone help me in this regard its super important!
What should be done to resolve this review, there is nothing else mentioned further about the review AFAIK????





Another Important question regarding Eligibility only, at then end under NOTES and under Notes 1 and EE eligibilty label, under Agent review on page 75 it says- On based of docs provided and information contained in application"A11.2 decision: Met 75(2), FSW Minimum Requirements: Appears met 76(1)(a), Selection criteria FSW points: Appears met FSW points: 69 Comprehensive ranking system at ITA: 446 Current CRS Score:446 I have reviewd information and documents for the CRS points for the following: PA Awarded points as single at ITA and APR PA awarded points for 1 year Foreign work experience with xyz company, PA awarded pints for Bachelor and post grad diploma, Primary NOC: 2122 with xyz company Submitted reference letter confirms applicants employment throughout specified period and describes duties which are consistent with skill level A NOC. Reference letter confirms full time employment. eDoc. 12345678.
Now my question is that is this "apperas to met" the standard way or something is not sure here to them?? and is Met (75) and Met (76) standard and not signify anything specific??


I would highly appreciate inputs and advice.


******At the end there are few questions also mentioned, few are regarding "have you ever applied to IRCC and CIC before" to which answer is displayed as "N", few are regarding representative details and consent, what does these questions signify.
He had a refusal in past for study visa which we had mentioned in the application, but the representative told him to the above questions answer should be No, can this cause a huge issue, if yes then what should be done to immediately resolve this, please help. On the edge, put so much in this and all on risk due to his representative's mistake!

a - I did not have this. So no idea.
b - This is normal. Its some internal process they do and I also had it. Nothing to worry.
c - Again normal. System does a calculation and then agent reviews it. The Calculation etc is done by the GCMS system if you notice. Again its normal. Even I had this.

Now the RED BIT.

1 - Yes, Review Required is something I did not have. Mine said - Recommended Passed.
2 - Appears Met, Met is all same. Nothing to worry. I had the same too.

The only worry here is ---- REVIEW REQUIRED. I would recommend you check this with Legalfalcon!

Hi...

So i'm AOR 8th April. Mailed cic couple of days ago to check on the status. And i got 2 replies today.

1st email- Seems more like an automated message.
==============================
Please note that your application is being processed at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalisation.
==============================

And the 2nd email on top of this one received is-

==============================
Please check your incoming email for a receipt of the RFV letter sent on July 14th, 2017. If you have not received any letter requesting you to submit your passports in to our office, please inform us at your earliest convenience.
==============================

Does this mean that "ready for visa" email was sent by them on 14th July!?? Checked my inbox as well as junk but haven't received any email from them on 14th july. Also, i don't think that my status changed to IP2 that early. It was more like early august.

Thoughts, pls!?

Thanks!!

Thanks so much John, i can always count on you.
Can you please give your opinion on this review required, is it about R10? as Eligibilty is Met i do not understand this, i have also asked legalfacon, will share what he says.
Also can you please edit in my question above exactly where was recommended pass written in your notes in that section and exact wording, would appreciate a lot.

This is dated 14/7/2017 (date NA2 began) and the review required notes are dated 11/7/2017 (date ip1 started), can you please check with your notes and share some insight.
1 - I dont know what the review is for.
2 - Where it said for you - "Review Required" - for me, it said "Recommendation: Pass"
3 - For me, the IP1 and NA2 were back to back. And I changed from IP1 to NA2 in just a few hours.

My recommendation honestly is, your file looks good and no need to panic. There is NOTHING you really can do. I recommend you order notes again and check the next one. Overall my file took 136 days to clear. There are FSW not cleared in 150 days too. Just wait it out....coz there is nothing else you can truly do!

If they need anything from you, they will ask. If they haven't asked you for anything, you are good.

a) Counterfoil relates to the COPR issuance and therefore “yes” means a COPR needs to be issued to the applicant.In my case it says “yes” for me and “no” for my unaccompanying spouse.

b) I too have the same correspondence in “Items requested”. I received no request for any requirement. I can observe 2 things though that this was created on the day my file was transferred to NDVO and it was updated on the day my status moved to IP2.

c) Yes it went through all these steps on a single day.


For the highlighted part:

- For me the program assistant comments says Recommendation: Pass. I am not sure why a review required is mentioned here.
- Appears Met seems standard along with met 75 and met 76…I have the same words written too.
