Hi Sith, I agree with @lina_ballerina , its bittersweet to see you here again. I read your comments in the Nov thread hinting that that you found peace with this whole process and found a new job and new priorities and had moved on happily into the sunset no longer giving an f. Wonderful. For me I'm at the same mindset as someone who has just been dumped at the altar and doesn't know WTF just happened, nor what to do with himself, in limbo, angry and frustrated at the process, myself, the accidental geography of my birth, my propensity to wallow in self-pity of late and my anxiety at lack of control over this whole roller-coaster. My boss keeps asking me to give him an update on whether I'm immigrating or not so that he can figure out if he'll want me to work remotely, or to staff up and replace me, and I keep saying 'any day now, its 6 months, thats when 80% of applicants know their status' even though I know full well that its a f*#($^#g lie and no one knows when if ever this thing is going to happen let alone how to make transition plans on a large complex portfolio that needs stability! Then to add insult to injury I find myself spending my precious time here grouchily trawling through other peoples experiences bemused at the paradox of it all, wanting to be the next to relay my success and yet happy and gratified whilst concurrently insanely jealous of anyone who makes it through before I do. And feeling terrible for the poor folks who recieved a late rejection (imagine how cruel it is to get a rejection at this stage!) I suppose one day one will look back at all this and think nice nostalgic memories, but for now, I must say, it sucks to be here, and to be going through this, with no control. It just sucks. SUCKS!

Man I remember you being one of the most positive person in this forum, spreading positivity and motivation to others and reading this especially from you makes me sad This waiting really does hit people hard

Back on May 9th when I spoke to the agent, I was told Eligibility was Recommended pass, Criminality Passed, Security not started and that agent looked very confident that I will get a decision before my estimated new due date (June 11th) since my case only requires a final review. I was super happy when I heard that, and decided to start preparing for my new journey. Told all my friends, family I will be leaving soon. Started researching into places to live, flight tickets etc. I was excited about the arrival of the RFV. As I was getting closer to June 11th my excitement started to fade and the fear of uncertainty began to rise. June 11th came and gone and also the next due date July 26th and I am sure the next one will be here soon too August 29th.

After June 11th, I just decided it is best to move on with life because mentally it was getting too much. It still does hurt to see others getting PPR and landing in Canada and beginning their new journey. but at the same time it's also nice to know that someone else will get to live the life we dreamed off

These past few days I came to realize that making peace with it was the best decision. I have gotten so used to this waiting period that I'm actually really enjoying it. I even joke about it with the call centre agents The agent last week said he will send a fourth remainder and I will hear a decision by August 29th I replied to him, I will definitely call you back and you can send a fifth remainder

Guys, I'm sorry for your experiences.. for all of us, really.. the ones being cast aside by fate. Uncertainty is the true enemy. We always fear what we don't know. That being said, I truly believe that's what this forum is all about negating. It's not just about being positive all the time, that's unrealistic. You can be optimistic but must remain realistic. "Eyes at the stars and feet on the ground" we're here for one another and until that fateful day, the company really helps..

I myself was ultra positive for a long time. I had set aside this limbo time to lose weight. I've lost 25kg since last year and now I'm in great shape, ready for the new journey! I achieved my mission but still haven't received that green light. Reality isn't just about positivity.. it's a duality, a balance of order and chaos. And eventually we all learn to navigate both

There hasn't been any activity on my account it seems, and I ordered my GCMS notes late last month.. I'm happy for everyone getting their PPRs but it seems like the Sydney office is really behind because I don't see anyone getting PPR from that office. It's days like this that make it hard to not be worried . I pray and pray that I will get it one day so I can carry on with my life here in Canada. I saw someone mentioning 8 to 10 months, I don't know if I can live another 2 to 4 more months like this...

Hi - I called CIC today. They said that the average processing time on an application mostly is a year, these days. So, my wait can be from few weeks to few months. Eligibility on my application is in progress ( recommended pass); security has not been started yet. Feels like I have put my life on hold and the sooner I want this to be completed, the further it is getting. I know God has something good in store for me. Praying.
AOR - Jan 6
VO - Ottawa

I don't think it will take that long.. looking at the trend I see more of mid and late Jan AOR people getting PR. I might be wrong but looking and following this forum I don't see many early Jan AOR people getting PR. I think they will soon release the batch and many of 1st, 3rd,5th and 6th Jan Aor people will get the golden mail

I and some of others have met the same situation. I would like to suggest you to call cic agents to confirm this again. In the meanwhile, you could order notes to get the whole picture of your application (but it would cost to wait 30 days at least). If you believe or find out anything fishy after going through your application and the docs you submitted at the first time again, you may want to upload some more LOE or supportive docs to them through Webform. They will acknowledge to receive this about 5 business days or up to 10 calendar days.

This is what I wrote previously: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/january-2019-aor-join-here.603394/page-414#post-8072823

Hope this helps.

I saw people got replied "not met" and "not been met", huge difference and super confusing lol...makes me scared of even emailing Ralph Goodale!
