I'm already at the stage that when it eventually comes, I won't be excited.
There's been a while that I was feeling the same, but now I am very peacezful and quiet. If being patient and getting prepared of the uncertainty for future a part of test that you must take in your life, now it's the time to accept the challenge, guys, we have gone so far on the road of immigrating to Canada, we have been through so much in our life, this little waiting is nothing, nothing!!! Focus on something else, I know it's easier said than done, but you have to try anyway...
and someday when PPR or landing interview quietly arrives, you will thank yourself for being prepared for that moment...

It feels incredibly relieving to finally post this here, it's PPR time!

Radio silence...
GCMS ordered in May, came in June.
GCMS ordered in July, PPR managed to beat it to the punch.
RPRF request: September 7th
PPR: September 11th

NOC: 2133

I made several calls to IRCC, e-mailed Mr. Goodale and up to about a week before I got the RPRF request my status was Eligibility and Security not started. I'm glad this ordeal is finally over with.
Great!!!!! Parabéns!!!

But at least you will know if you are in security screening if you are actually is, and it's only 5$
How does that help really? Knowing what stage you're in doesn't expedite your process, it's just like calling the call center agents, those efforts are inconsequential.

hi,
Finally I also got the ready for Visa Mail.....

Case Details

CEC Inland-VO Ottawa
AOR: Jan 21
Called IRCC for status updates: Jun 21. The agent advised raising GCMS notes request.
GCMS Notes Req: Jun 23
GDMS Recvd: Jul 25 (Status: E: RR, Crimanilty: Passed, Mep: In-Progress, Security: Not started)
Additional Document (i initiated): Aug 13
Webform for change of address: Aug 20
Medicals Passed: 21 Aug
Contacted IRCC on Aug 23 to ensure all the documents are received and that Address is updated. I got to know the status as E: RR, Sec: Pending. Agent Advised I should call back in about a month if i don't get any updates. i have not sent any email to Mr Goodale.I had raised second GCMS on 09-Aug which i have not received yet

I had given up on PR and tired, I left tracking it otherwise. Recent inflow of PPR in Sep gave me a ray of hope. I started looking at my account 2 times a day....I did same today but there was nothing since morning in account or last when i checked at abt 5:10 PM.

at 10:30 PM Eastern Time, I was just checking my email to register for something and saw the Ready for Visa email received at 10:21 PM.
Account status is still as per old.... No updates to online account status. Hopefully this is not a ghost email :)

Mail Advises submitting the passport and 2 photographs of each of the applicant with return envelope.

Coming to the story part..
I have been in toronto for past 2.5 years. Applying for PR was nto an easy decision to be away from home, friends and family in Freezing Cold weather. It is being lonely here. Housing market has skyrocketed so have the house rents which would be your biggest expense in Toronto at least. What made me apply: Cleaner Air and Water, hope for a better future for my children and a thought lets at least get a PR if we are eligible. God knows an year from now, it would be possible to not. We can always decide to go back to home, but coming here might not be possible!
Waiting for so long to take some decisions in life, living on things to fulfill daily needs...if I buy more stuff and have to travel, i will have to spend money and time to discard things...Its been a long wait with a lot of compromises made along the way for this decision to come.

here I am...next step: submit for Visa and COPR.

Thanks to all the people who have become friends in this long journey...never met you people but was good to share ups and downs...

For those coming to Toronto, I would most likely be here so I can try to answer some of your generic queries for Toronto/Canada if you message me separately.


Quick Question: Some folks got ready for interview request directly to get PR. in what scenario does that come?

Wishing everyone who are still waiting all the best.

This is hard to nearly impossible if you're from Nigeria. Insecurity, Nepotism and High level corruption that has become the norm. Education and Immigration is our ticket, as Education in Nigeria leaves you unemployed, sad and frustrated.
I can feel you...same here! I'm from Congo.
