[Rhbcc]

Yeah so I called IRCC today (finally after 20 attempts):
AOR JULY 1
CEC INLAND
CPC OTTAWA
As of Jan 11:
Eligibility: recommended passed
Security: pending
Criminality: pending
Med: might be extended or re-medical
Biometrics: OK

As of today Jan 25:
Eligibility, Security, and Criminality: All passed and updated Jan 22
Remedical request letter: also Jan 22 (per agent this is the last step they are waiting on for me to action on then officer can finalize my app and issue COPR)
Forgot to add: As per my GCMS notes before initial meds were passed back in Aug 21 with M1 S1 grade but it expired and now they want me to spend an another $330 + xray fees. lol but it is what it is.
already have an appt for med exam this Friday

Hoping for the best!!

Tried calling IRCC number after 4pm and something has changed:
From "we have requested a medical exam" blah blah to "you do not need additional documents". The medical part they kept mentioning in the prompt is now gone. So I am hoping and praying for a light at the end of the immigration tunnel, should be a matter of time now. Will try to call tomorrow.

1- I was told by most people that's the way to go and there is a higher chance of getting rejected if you do it by yourself since you are more prone to making mistakes.

that’s a myth. A lawyer/consultant can’t speed up the process and they are in no way a guarantee that you will receive PR. All they can do is check your paperwork that nothing is missed. They may also know other avenues for PR. But ultimately you’re the only one who have to collect all the paperwork yourself. If you can do that yourself you can file the application yourself.

yeah figured that really quickly and wished I did it all myself. For some reason, before applying I have made it such a big deal in my head. He did guide me thru a few things and fixed a few of potential errors for me. So all in all its okay

Don't worry mate, I have been living here and doing A LOT more than "just surviving" for the past 8 years. You do you, let me do me

The English after living in this country for 8 years: "You do you, let me do me".

Hello All,

People who got approved today, did you get an attachment named "Information Letter" in your CIC Account?

If yes, are you able to download it?

You can gain control of your application by sending in a request to cancel representation, to IRCC.

I wonder though if that could open up a can of worms between you and your rep.

You can still call in and also request gcms notes

can you please explain what do you mean by being silent? Should I order GCMR notes or call IRCC?

Your wife is currently in India and unable to complete her biometrics.There likely won’t be any update in your application.Completing biometrics is an integral step required before criminality and security background check can begin.

VFS has started taking biometrics in India but not for PR applicants. Is there any other way she can give biometrics?

Unfortunately,you have to wait until VFS starts taking biometrics for PR applicantions.Under the pandemic,non-essential travel should not be embarked upon,so I won’t advise any travel to another country to complete the biometrics.
