From what I can tell anyone who applied from Quebec is at a standstill because of how slow the MIDI is going through CSQ applications :( We've been waiting forever!!!
We applied from Alberta. I see some folks in the July and August applications who applied from Alberta receiving their request for background check already, so a bit worried! If anyone has any more information on this, would be great if you can share it! Thanks all.
 
I now see one July applicant got his/her AIP, SA and DM already!

I just added him in, he got it yesterday. He got SA a long time ago along with request for additional documents. I feel by now June should have been at least to the bottom of their list with some gaps. Oh well... you can't blame the holidays lol we all enjoyed them.
 
Folks, how do you see when BGC has started? I don't see it in my profile online.. but it says it's processing. By the way how long do you think it should take them to process? I have passed the medical Dec 8th and got AIP and SA Dec 23rd. Since then no news. Just wondering how is it going for you (for those who is based in Toronto). thanks everyone and hope you have a great day ahead.

this is a link to a thread that hopefully will answer your question:

As frustrating that it may be that June seems to be lagging, we really shouldn't be complaining... we're averaging 7 months for full PR when the expectation was one full year. Think positive :)
One full year is an estimation for how long the process would take, and it's usually for the most complicated applications! We see many applications got DM within 6 months while others still waiting for their OWP! How to think positive and stop complaining if you feel that the timeline of the process is NOT fair.

I'm one of those people who had to wait 6 months for an OWP as I was seeing September applicants already getting theirs - yet I still think we are incredibly lucky. I can't find anywhere that it says 'complicated applications take a year'. It says everywhere that the estimated time for a normal application is a year, which is already SO MUCH FASTER than many other countries. Good luck getting your green card in USA in one year. The process timeline may not be fair but neither is life.

I don’t think it works that way. They dont have separate timelines or processing for complicated applications. My application was withdrawn the first time we applied in 2 months by my wife due to some personal issues. Re applied this june and got OWP this december. Well i guess if we say complicated I definitely belong to that lot. But its just they do it at their own pace, their own way
 
Hi all, received this as a part of the request for background check:
"These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you and, if applicable, all of
your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not applying to join you in Canada
at this time."
My wife is the only one applying for PR but has other family members like her parents and siblings in her home country. Would this mean she needs to get police certificate for all of them or just her? She is from Colombia.

Thanks!
 
Hi all,

Just want to update that we received the invitation to landing interview yesterday for January 17, 2020.

Does anyone know if immigration will issue a temporary PR card/paper in the meantime while waiting for the actual card to arrive? We made travel plans for a quick trip to the states a while back and now I'm thinking we probably can't even go anymore. Advice? Thanks.

No, they will only give you a Confirmation of permanent residence paper which you can use to re-enter Canada by private vehicle. If you are flying, then you will have to wait for the actual PR card to come in the mail or apply for a permanent resident travel document from the United States to return to Canada.
