June 2018 AOR - join here

Thank you, but I guess I might have a long IP2 due to travel history. Lets see how it goes.

May be not. I had a long travel history too and it took me 3 working days from IP2 to PPR. All the best.

Stuck in IP1 since June (AOR was June 3). Desperate for an update now.

Looks like we are in the same boat. Have you ordered notes to check out your application?

Hi Everyone..
I will be landing in Toronto in January. I have some questions regarding Landing..
How much money can I take in Cash. I will be travelling along with my wife from India..And do they ask for POF after landing..What are the options to show that..

As much as you want, as long as you declare it.

 

[EE456]

The maximum cash you take is CAD 10,000. Higher than this you will need to declare at the customs. Another option if you want to take more than CAD 10,000 is to open an account in Scotia bank you can deposit up to CAD 50,000 and get access to this money once you are in Canada. They have some good options for new immigrants.

Any amount has to be declared.

If I take around 10000 then will they ask for d remaining amount to be shown..Like can I show my bank statement that I have d remaining balance n will get it wired after I open a bank acc in Canada?

Why are you so worried about paying the fees? We paid the fees upfront on 8th June with our AOR. We are still at "eligibility review required". As someone mentioned before these things do not follow any normal course and changes and reviews to your profiles happen randomly or at least in such a way that we cant understand or predict the dates when we'll hear something. Believe me I am equally frustrated! have been mentally quitting my job since my AOR but I am still here - working and waiting! that's how it is!! Pray more, Worry less!! Goodluck!

I am also exactly in the same situation paid everything upfront. AOR June 8th MED June19th. No changes since then. All I have is more than enough stres

Mine is also pretty much same AOR 8TH June . No updates IP1 since June 19th. CIC agent advised 3 days back BG check hasn't started looks like they never touched my file after ip1. In such case, Do they have to start BG, security and criminality only after this ??? If so, It might take another 2 to 3 months which leads the total waiting time over 6 months.

Thanks
End of August may was 28% (4 month end mark for may)
End if Sept June was 19% (4 month end mark for June)
June is already 9% behind. Is this temporary or permanent next Fridays analysis will reveal. Thanks @cansha
Very well analysed.

You're right! That is why I started looking for months beyond June. The trend is worrisome. Later months are consistently not able to see same level of progress as prior months for similar time period. As you said, only next few weeks will throw more light on it.

Same as me! Called yesterday- eligibility recommended passed and background check not started yet. Not sure when there will be some progress.

Disappointing but the latest notes on my file are from July! No updates post that

Yeah..I ordered notes on September 6. Waiting for the long weekend to get over so that I receive my notes. What about you, have you ordered?

Pardon my novice question, but if you call IRCC from outside Canada do international calling rates apply or is there a workaround?

Good question, but not sure of the answer. May be some of the senior members in the thread can throw some light...

Use google hangouts. It’s completely free

So next week we shall anticipate it to be slow as Monday is non working day. As in cricket they say the match is not over till the last ball us bowled. Waiting till 5pm mountain time is best on Friday.
