@Gaurav A Any update on your work permit? I called them. Both application are in background check and of course all we can do is WAIT
@sam001 - Even I called them yesterday and they said that both application in background check. Regarding work permit as well the max time they said is 18th Dec, as per new timeline which is 128 days for work permit processing. So all we do is wait!! for PR i did not get medicals yet nor the Sponsor eligibility email or AIP. How about you?

Same thing for me. No AIP or no SA and they have no clue when we will receive them. So welcome to the IRCC wait game :(

Glad to hear it gives some hope - to be honest I delayed a bit posting on this forum because it felt like things were going fast for us and I didn't want anyone else to be discouraged. All that to say, I get the sense that there is no rhyme or reason for the speed at which anyone gets any of these things approved - fingers crossed that you start hearing from them soon as well for these other parts of the application :)

Yeah I think you're probably one of the lucky ones which is so great to see because from your timeline it seems that at least IRCC is not sleeping, lol. And please do update, I like to see at least someone progressing. Thanks for the wishes and hope you get approval soon too!
