Just got off the phone with an agent there, who I have to say was pretty nice and helpful even though he didn't tell me what I wanted to hear.

Eligibility is recommended pass and then background is still in process. I asked him about security/criminality specifically but he said that's the same thing and they were taking care of background verification now. My eligibility apparently caused some delay because they were reviewing work experience/NOC codes but they never asked me for ADR and he says they wont need to now so I dunno, maybe my employer just gave shit reference letters and they needed to verify (my words, not his). He said eligibility is always the longest part of the application and usually takes about 4 months to process. Mine started in August. Last time I called in early December my eligibility was review required.
Still being processed in Ottawa.

Definitely got the impression my application wont be processed by the 6 month mark next Wednesday but fingers crossed there's good news soon.
Cool. Curious for my own reference has this been reflected when you log in your account? Does the background check line now say its in progress rather than they'll notify you when it begins?

Still the same as always. Been in IP2 since August and my background check has been "in progress" since then. No changes and no ghost updates since.

Hi Seniors, question for you. I submitted 4 additional documents via CSE on Decemeber 10th and received below acknowledgement on December 11th. Should these documents now show in my account when I click "View Submitted Application"??

I ask because they are not there. Here is a screengrab of what my gcms notes dated January 2nd say on the correspondence.

I'm most concerned as document sub type says client enquiry which it wasn't really.

Good morning all,

I received my gcms notes and everything looks good I.e POF, medicals, education req, work experience etc but then there was a part where it states "Review required for statutory questions". Any ideas? What do I need to do ?
I’m in a similar situation. Do we wait it out or send them sth?

Just a thought, many people are emailing Ralph but he is not the only MP. Any MP can look into your file with your consent. I suggest looking on the Map for those outside Canada, find a small town and google their MP. You can make contact with them and they are usually less busy and will be very helpful.

Hello all, new here just looking for some more information regarding my PR. My AOR date is July 6, 2018. I was told a couple of different times when I called CIC that my application was approved on December 19, 2018 but I have yet to receive my PPR. I have sent a couple of web forms in asking questions and just get told that the Sydney, Nova Scotia office has been notified that they are beyond the normal processing times. They are aware that my application is late but just tell me to sit and wait as the office was notified and nothing more can be done.

I tried calling the number provided here (16139444000) but this only seems to send me to CIC (which I have talked to 3 times) and not actually the Sydney office. I also tried emailing (FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca) and it was kicked back saying that it was an incorrect email.

My questions are:
1) Is there anything I can do to get things completed or is it just a waiting game?
2) I am currently on a closed work permit with 1.5 years until it expires, I have accepted a new position but do not think I can move to the new position with a different company until I get my PR. Is a bridge work permit an option or is there anything else I can do or again, do I just wait for my PPR.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Got a reply from CSE raised on Jan 16th... Also, I have ordered Notes on Jan 8th...

Your application was received at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The background verifications are currently in process for criminality and have not been initiated for security yet. The medical examination results on file are valid for you, your spouse and dependent children.
