Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just checked my profile and saw where my application was update and when I clicked on my application, it said APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No email as yet, no COPR letter updated to my profile. But is says PROCESSING COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can see on my profile where:
Eligibility review was completed April 6th
Background checks completed April 6th

This is such an overwhelming moment for me so allow me to give a little background. I originally applied to migrate to Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program in February 27, 2008. At that time you only needed to have a first degree to qualify. Immigration laws changed and on February 5th 2010 my application was declined as I didn't have enough NOC B experience. I gave up on moving to Canada and went on to have my second child. Intermittently, I would apply for school in Canada just to see the approvals for school but I never had the funds to make the dream a reality. In 2017 I decided to apply for a visitors visa as my friend and brother (who was living in Canada) started asking me if I didn't want to come for a visit. Prior to this I has only vacationed in the US. Please see timeline of my journey here:

1. visitors visa approved Sept 23, 2017
2. First visit to Canada in January 2018 - I visited the College close to my brother and collected brochures. I started researching school seriously as my brother encouraged me to take the leap and that my family and I (husband and 2 kids) could live with him for a year.
3. March 26, 2018 - Study permit approved for me and entire family.
4. June 15, 2018 I resigned from my job that I had for the past 14 years and move to Canada for a 1 year post-graduate course
5. April 23rd- completed 1 year course and prayed fervently that my PGWP would be longer than a year (lol)
6. June 10th 2019 PGWP was approved and I got exactly 1 year ( expiry date June 8, 2020)
7. During that time I realized Ontario nomination program was CLOSED AND NOT GOING TO RE-OPEN ANYTIME SOON AND I ONLY HAD 1 YEAR TO WORK so I started looking jobs in other provinces. I did 2 interviews with a company in British Columbia and they didn't commit to giving me the job. I realized they wanted to meet me in person so I told them I would be in BC on August 4, 2019. I secured a short term stay, resigned my job and flew to BC with my 2 kids (and no job offer in hand). I met with the manager on August 6th and that's when he did another short interview and told me the job is mine. My husband stayed over in Ontario to continue working while we made the transition and eventually came over on September 27th. By the time he came I had rented a house, bought a used car, gotten the kids in school etc. He got a new job within a week of moving here.
8. I started my new job August 16, 2020
9. Applied for BC PNP August 26th
10. Submitted BC PNP application September 27th
11. Got BC PNP approval November (Big thank you to my employer who was veryyyy supportive.

AOR JANAURY 22, 2020|BOWP approved May 12 2020| Express Entry application approved JUNE 8, 2020.

The huge takeaway from my journey is that once you plan your life and do all you can- nothing will happen before the time. I wasn’t destined to be here in 2008/2010 or any of the other times I applied for school. My time is now! I know this immigration journey is a challenging one filled with many uncertain turns. All I can say is that if you decide to take this journey it takes a lot of planning and faith.

When you submitted the form, did you put visa office Abu Dhabi? I was so confused because I don't know where they are processing it.

No, In the beginning I raised a webform to know where my file is and they replied with CPO Ottawa. Then when I got bio request I went to the dubai office.

@breakthrough2019, you can raise GCMS notes if you are inclined to see details of how officers are processing your application... But if one has raised web-form previously and gotten confirmation that elegibility, criminality, security etc are all passed, I would say no need for GCMS as your application is as good as approved.
Click to expand...
@GW007 The first time I raised a webform was just 2 weeks ago. My AOR is Jan 10th, Medicals passed and biometric complete. And when I raised the webform no specific detail was given, asides telling me that the file was already at the Canadian visa office in Accra Ghana and I should contact them if needed to know the status of my application. I sent an email last week to the Accra office but I’m still waiting for a response . However how long does it take for GCMS notes to get responded to ?
Thanks

Congratulations! I have the same AOR. My file was moved from Edmonton to Ottawa recently. Do you know the VO which processed the application? I guess not as you have not raised a webform earlier.

Thank you @pemyrie
Yup, PNP/CEC - Inland. Your AOR is 8 days earlier than mine, January 30th. The last time you spoke with the IRCC call centre, did they say that your security has not started yet?
Click to expand...
@Airaelli02 , I called and spoke with an agent June 4th and she said security hadn't been started as yet. However, she was very pleasant and even told me my file looks okay and that unless I committed a crime in the next 2 weeks I should be okay. The next day (June 5th) my account was update to say that my document is being reviewed. So when I logged in this morning I just wanted to see if the document review was complete and I saw the approval. No Email as yet neither a letter- still waiting on that.
