***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

[sadcanadianpr]

Hi guys,

My wife's online background check status changed to : in progress

what does it mean and what are the next steps?

You will hear good news soon buddy
Most of the cases that's the last stage. You get COPR after that.

No mine still says "Not Started". From what I've read online the background check does not go into In Process until they've approved your PPR and happens usually a week to a few days before they send you the visa (in rare cases it may be a bit longer)

Thanks for the info, otherwise I think I would have started worrying at some point. Cheers.

Ottawa seems to have slowed down since their June push on backlog

MY VO is Ottawa. I got my PPR on 10/12 and they received my Passport on 10/14.

Any idea how long it takes them to send me my passport back.

It might have to do with end of year quotas. They may have over-done approvals in the summer and need to slow down before the year finishes off. We're still next in the queue but it will probably take a few weeks longer from here.

Does anyone have an idea how long would it take for CPC-Ottawa to send back passport?

I called the CPC-Ottawa asking if they received my passport, and after checking the representative that I talked to told me that my passport is already in visa printing does anyone have an idea how long do I still need to wait?

Thank you

Just got back my ATIP notes that I requested about 4 weeks ago. So apparently there has been no work on my application since August when it was transferred over to Ottawa. Most likely it probably is just sitting in a queue...

Hi iam july 26 applicant

Been losing all hope lately. Despite husband getting approved.

Was approved almost a month ago now, but due to having my husbands email wrong on his application, we never got PPR.
So as told by a CIC agent, we sent in the passport photocopy and passport photos blindly last week and they arrived there last Wednesday to Ottawa.
We still have yet to hear any news. Probably going to call IRCC again tomorrow and see if we can get any information on status.

Hope everyone else will have more luck then we are, hahaha. :'(

Don't lose faith, but DO stay on top of it. Afterall, you are approved!! I totally suggest calling them. I trust that you will get everything very shortly. Crossing my fingers for you. We are still waiting on approval.

Thank you so much. I might cave and call today instead, lol. Hopefully get some kind of update!

I hope you will get approval soon! Crossing my fingers for you as well!

Caved and called IRCC. The agent said that Ottawa will be dropping the Xresspost envelope in the mail to him either today or tomorrow!

Hello,

My wife had her DM on October 27th, and we received our COPR at my address in Canada (??) on Nov 1st.

Just want to share a good news, applications are Closed and Approved and the Ottawa office sent our passport 11/09/2016 and we are expecting to get it on Monday because of the holiday coming on Friday.

Here is our Complete Process, hope you get an idea, my spouse is a USA green card holder/permanent residence and citizen of the Philippines with a clean record. Over all processing of our application was 114-116 days. This is just my insight, I think Once you get a PPR and ottawa receive your passport wait for 8 days for MyCIC to change to Approved and closed, then the next 1-2 days the ottawa will sent your passport back (might apply only with visa exempt and US PR). Hope it might help and hope everyone on this thread will get a good news soon.
