thank you for kind words!@andy108
Hi,
I am very new to this but I must say your reports provide a lot of insight. I would like to know your views on processing times for applications which have 2-3 dependents in addition to principal applicants.
Based on my limited analysis of immitracker cases, I believe that these applications are processed faster.
Your views on this pls
Hi Andy,Generally, your application will follow the following set of steps after receiving the AOR:
- Background check: Not Applicable (NA1) - As soon as you submit your EE application, and receive your AOR, the "Background check" section of your application status will say "Not applicable.". This status will generally not change until your medical results are reviewed and validated.
- Review of medical results: Medicals passed (MEP) - nowadays takes longer, you will receive the message: “You passed the medical exam“.
- Background check: In Progress (IP1) – Your "Background check" section will change to “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.” Everyone has it.
- Background check: Not Applicable (NA2), after the IP1 is finished, the "Background check" section will change to "Not Applicable.".
- In Progress (IP2) – The "Background check" status message will change to “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information“. After completion of the IP2 stage, the Passport Request (PPR) e-mail is sent if the applicant already paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fees upfront. PPR e-mails are taking 1-20 days after the IP2 stage. Sometimes there will be no much of pause between the NA3>
- Background Check: Not Applicable (NA) – This means that IP2 supposedly finished.
- PPR: Passport Request - You will receive your PPR e-mail directly to your e-mail account and you may not get an update in your Express Entry account. Keep an eye on spam folder, many have found e-mails after 3-5-6 months.
- CoPR: Confirmation of Permanent Residence
Good luck!
I would really love to see what is affecting these timeframes other than stuff on applicants part. @andy108 I think NOC code data should also be logged in tracker, it would not be terrible to trend it.
If you analyze in more detail you will see that about 80% follow very similar process flow and timelines, the remainder however is very diverse, very hard to estimate, some have more complex cases, some submit complex CSEs, etc... NOC code was there, i am ok adding it back if others would request. I will try to compile more detailed report in a few days.I would really love to see what is affecting these timeframes other than stuff on applicants part. @andy108 I think NOC code data should also be logged in tracker, it would not be terrible to trend it.
Can you share link to that thread?Hi Andy,
Thank you for your information, it’s very helpful. However, I received “we are processing your background check” in my background check status right after I received AOR. I read through one post in another form and they said the process has changed since 2019. So, do you know the latest process? Does it mean I run into IP1 directly before MEP?
BTW, please add me to the group, I received AOR on 7 July.
Thank you very much!
