FSW WORLDWIDE

[ElvisRamaj]

Guys and gals, I can hardly believe it but it's PPR time!

After all those years waiting for an ITA, the time between AOR and PPR sure went by quick!

Thanks again to the many helpful members on this forum for all the encouragements, advice, tips, and analyses of IRCC behaviour (as futile as that may sometimes have been). For those still waiting, I hope to be able to hear of your successes soon. See y'all in Canada!

That is extremely fast. Congratulations my friend.

Share some luck with us

I actually talked to couple of high school kids and they were pretty unhappy about the situation. That was back in 2019. Pretty much, what IRCC and Canada is doing right now will result in a huge dissatisfaction by the Canadians.

I know some idiots will come and be like: "oH nO cAnAda needs us". Nope. They need to keep the wages low. In order to do that, they don't give power to Canadians and replace them with foreigners who won't demand anything. At the same time, Canadians openly talk about how it's getting impossible to afford to live in Canada (see personalfinancecanada subreddit).

That is one of the reasons why the Conservatives will win by a landslide in the next elections. Toronto is already half immigrants and a box in the sky goes for $1M, how long before some really 180 degree changes will come forward.

Quebec made it absolutely clear that Liberals wont have a chance anymore, they lost terribly over there.

Between inflation, immigration, high property prices and rising interest rates, there is no doubt in my mind that some huge changes in power will be manifested in the next following years.

Canadians might be the most tolerable people on earth, but when job security, living standards and property ownership is put in the line, they will chose themselves every single time. I am amazed at the logic the Liberals follow really. How do you think arriving at 25% of the population being foreign and expect that things will follow normally is beyond me.

But what solutions do conservatives have for this? If they touch immigration, wages will raise and inflation will get worse than it already is. If they touch speculation and foreign investments in housing, GDP will tank; because real-estate is the top contributor to 25% of the GDP. If they keep or reduce interest rates, it will increase debt and in turn increase inflation. What magic wand do they have?

What do you mean by how many solutions do they have ? There are countless, if they put their brain to work.

No one plans to reduce interest rates, that will be suicidal. Polim Poilievre, head of Conservative Party, even vows to fire the governor of Bank of Canada for his reckless management during the Covid years, a.k.a. money printing policies = high inflation afterwards.

As for real estate, which contributes to almost 14% of the GDP by the way, is in a freaking bubble and way way overpriced. A $1M home in Canada is as would be a $350-400k one in USA and comparing the wages and affordability in the two countries, you can clearly see how overpriced they are in Canada and the reason is not the lack of them, its property taxes and foreigns/companies being able to purchase them. The same is happening in the USA by the way.

How do you correlate lack of immigration with increased wages ? As a rule of thumb, wages should be increased every year at least based on inflation, and not inflation as a whole but based on the inflation of products of the basket. Immigration should be a problem solver, bringing people in professions where you lack and not bringing random professionals because then you create another problem. You would have too many professionals in a profession which already has an oversupply, leading many of them to change carreer / get payed way less or stay jobless. Not to mention that you still haven't filled the jobs which are really lacking people.

Congratulations!

How long it took from AOR? Are you FSW-O?

Thanks! It took 48 days, and yes, I'm FSW-O.

I got an email from IRCC that my application status has been changed and in my account I have passed my medicals on 26th Oct and bio metrics updated as well. My background status has been same from day 1 "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

Anyone here expert at stages can explain where I'm currently standing? Also does that mean I have passed the completeness check? Because I was missing Spouse Ielts certificate which I sent to IRCC thorugh a webform so bit worried if they can still cancel my application as incomplete.

Your application looks pretty normal so far. Mine was all quiet too until medical and biometrics. The first change to the background check status came a week after that, though most of that time is due to applying for a PCC. You can check myimmitracker for more data points on that, though it seems that not many people follow their applications closely enough to provide the dates for changes to their background check status.

In addition to the links mushy provided, you can check out https://help.gcmsnotes.com/code/aor-to-ppr. Has your UCI changed? According to this guide, a permanent UCI that consists only of numbers replaces the temporary one that starts with 'CAN' when the R10 completeness check is passed. You might want to check your email's junk folder and deleted folder to be sure you're not missing any additional document requests.

It looks to me that your background check should start soon. Given how quickly your medical was passed, you look be on track to have one of the shortest processing time!

Damn!

Even if you knew Sean Fraser personally, they wouldn't be this fast. Talk about luck.

Yes It was CAN before and it changed to numbers the same day I passed Medicals and Bio-metrics appeared. I also got an email with Subject "We updated your application status" and Content "Your application status has changes."

Given how quickly your medical was passed, you look be on track to have one of the shortest processing time!

Well you're getting me excited

I heard fruits got super expensive. Was talking to my former colleague and he is a senior DS at IBM (working in Watson team). He told me that everything increased by 30-40% in price. On top of that, now you are expected to tip pretty much everywhere. Got a Subway? Tip 10%. Got a McD? Tip 15-20%.

So yeah... The increased rate means that it's close to impossible finding a 1br condo for less than 2200 in Toronto. On top of that, food, goods just got too expensive.
