ITA for OINP May EOI Comrades

[Moonniicka]

As observed by @iSaidGoodDay , eligibility of dependents remain in progress

That’s true
In general I think the tracker is more updated on the main applicant except for BGC which needs to be completed for everyone on the application

The earliest slot available was after 38 days due to the high volume of applicants.

VFS Lahore is overcrowded. Mine was VFS Islamabad, slightly better as I still got appointment in under 30 days (on 27th day).

Btw, I met a couple of Pakistani applicants with AOR in late August, who received PPRs last week. So we may as well get our PPRs in December judging by this trend.

Judging from the recent trend, security of Pakistanis and Arab nationals is taking time, other than that, people are getting PPRs within a month or slightly over that. If you speak to an IRCC agent, hopefully your criminality would also be passed, only security would be pending.

Logged in to see a ghost update today on Nov 24

**Edit to add: maybe it's not a ghost update, my GCkey is now showing
Final decision: November 24, 2023 Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made. It was showing this before I gave biometrics 2 days ago, but not with today's date. Must be the reason for the update. Is anyone else's application showing this? According to many forums I could expect PPR soon but I don't want to get my hopes up.

I think your assessment is accurately fondful. When I check my GCKey, it says everything is in progress except biometric which has a specific date on it; therefore, my understanding is date only appears when an actual progress has been made. Thus, what I believe is that you will soon see COPR information in the tracker.

Side note, is anyone thinking about moving to Ottawa or is everyone set on Toronto?

Yes, we are planning to move to Ottawa.

Somewhere like Ottawa would be great (if landing in summer) or Mississauga also seems fine (closer to downtown toronto). Other places like London or Hamilton also look like good small towns if you want to be away from downtown city life.

What I feel is that the younger crowd in their mid 20s or late 20s wants the busy city life with regular city breaks and . While the older crowd with families wants something that has a balance of city and family time somewhere quiet which Ottawa may provide.

In my account, I see UCI number is CAN..... , but in tracker it shows invalid. Will my UCI number change with time?
