Hi Amarnath - Congrats on your golden email. So your Federal stage started by June 2018 and by August 2019 you received you PPR email with in 15 months.

Question 1 : Did you had any progress bar (Timelines displayed in online GCkey page)?
Reason: In My case I applied
1. Federal Stage on: July 2018
2. Medical requested / completed by October 2018.
3. Its almost 15 month we are waiting and still it 's in background checking stage .
4. our progress bar show the estimated end date as May 2020. (Approximately comes around 23 months) :-(

Question 2: Have you worked / stayed in the same country? you applied from India? By that way the background checking was quick?
Reason: In my case I stayed in India and USA.

Thanks in advance

Hi Friend, thank for your wishes
1. Really it's a miracle that still my progress bar shows still background is checking, decision made also not updated, and my Actual Estimated time is April 2020 only. Even though I received email on 9.9.2019 stated that ready to issue visa & to submit our passport.. It's all god's miracle.

2. Iam working in Saudi

Gained more information through this forum and currently sharing my exp too for others benefit.....

Received Golden Email on October 8 2019.

Documents Sent (October 15):
As per golden email we submitted all the requested information to CPC ottawa address (From USA) through UPS on October 15th.

Issues faced - (October 15 - October 31):
1) Went to UPS store and requested the customer care person to suggest the right service to send the Passports,as its very important, He suggested
a) 2 day service
b) 4 to 7 day Service

2) As we had time we sent our passports through option b - 4 to 7 days service and we paid only $10 for the same and got the tracking id.
3) Even after 2 days the tracking Id was not activated. So we started following it up and came to know:
a) That service will take near 21 days to deliver.
b) Tracking may or mayn't get activated.
c) We initially doubted as they charged only $10.
d) UPS said they sent the Package to USPS, Which was a news for us.
e) USPS said they didn't receive the package. Reason: After 10 days of back and forth follow up we found that USPS didn't scan our package.
f) So till 10 days we are not able to track where is our package and what happened to our passports.Meanwhile we started exploring all negative possibilities like missing package check , etc....
g) Final after 15 days of no sleep and night mare somehow we found through USPS, our package is in transit to Canada CPC Ottawa office.

Lessons learnt: Use the fastest and reliable shipping service by prior investigation

Received Passport confirmation email - (November 1):
1) Meanwhile we contacted Service Canada (1 888 242 2100) and sent email to Canada Embassy
CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
IRCC.CIO-BRCD.IRCC@cic.gc.ca
IRCC.PRA-RVPR.IRCC@cic.gc.ca

2) Canada Embassy did a excellent service and responded immediately on November 1st as they received the passport on October 31.
3) We already sent the self addressed UPS envelope ,but they suggested to use the FED-EX service. As per that we sent the FED-EX shipping label in email and by Gods grace we received our passports back on Nov 19 2019.

All the best to all.....
