Hi Guys,

I have submitted photo for e-APR in PDF format ( dimensions are as expected and the 31x36mm from crown is met). Though, they mentioned they accept Jpg and Jpeg2000 format, they did not mention PDF is not accepted. Please let me know , how to rectify this. Or is it ok ? I hope for photo they will not reject application in R10 Stage (since I submitted in PDF instead of Jpeg)
Is it advisable to raise webform and submit photos in JPG now or shall I wait?

Thanks

Submit via Webform is what I would suggest. Better to be safe than sorry!
 
I submitted my application without doing upfront medical. I received AOR in June but no other update about my application. Is it a good idea to wait to hear from IRCC or take the medical & submit the medical form before getting medical request ? TIA :)
 
The last person (Including FSW-O and PNP-O) I see in the Immitracker who got MEP has an AOR of April 19, 2021. His medicals was passed on June 3, 2021. Roughly around 45 days ... Since then, we have a backlog of close to 4 months now ......

you are right! the timeline of backlog is more than 3 months :oops:
 
Are they processing medicals for PNP(O) other than India ?

Reason why outland applications are not being finalized:

Please refer to the complete video. This reason is valid for outland applications waiting for medicals/biometrics as well.

I believe IRCC might approve medicals and issue biometric requests by September/October. This month it seems unlikely.

I'd suggest to wait until you hear back from IRCC
 
Hey guys.
Why has IRCC stopped sending Biometrics Invitation Letters for outland applicants since May?

No specific answer for this. There maybe some direction which IRCC agents would've received based on which they are working. I hope they resume issuing BIL soon.

According to the application status page, IRCC is currently finalizaing Canadian Experience Class applications that they received between "December 13 and 19, 2020"

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

I have been tracking this page since july and here is the timeline.

13 July 2021September 20 and 26, 2020
20 July 2021October 4 and 10, 2020
27 July 2021October 25 and 31, 2020
3 August 2021November 15 and 21, 2020
10 August 2021December 13 and 19, 2020

With the current speed they might reach August 2021 applications in 6-8 weeks. But that is not possible as there are a lot of checks involved. So my guess is they might resume processing PNP/Outland applications in September.

Great work. Well appreciated

Good job tracking the timelines.
But I suppose their speed will decrease drastically, due to massive number of ITAs issued to CEC applicants in 2021.
Nearly 90.000 ITAs have been issued to CECs in the past 7 months!!

Hi guys,
Needs an expert opinion please.

Wondering if it's possible for someone to have PR PNP/EE application under process and apply for CEC/EE PR application and have the two applications processed simultaneously ?
Since the pnp applications takes very long time to be processed I'm thinking of applying for CEC.

Thank you!
 
My passport is set to expire on December 04, 2021. Receive a letter to upload a passport page that is at least valid for 6 months, going to submit that in a few days. they gave me 7 days' time to do so.
