i wanna get this straight everyone...........if you get an email stating that your application is "currently pending initial review" is that stage one of the application process

so can you all tell me what stage is this when it say "your file is in progress"
I'd say your file is currently being worked on and likely at the back ground checks stage. As soon as that's completed, it will go in queue for final review by the immigration officer. HOWEVER with that said, it can be any day now! lol

I know you do. Unfortunately, the majority of background checks are out of their control as that is performed by CSIS. They have to wait for that clearance before they can proceed to final review.

I'm guessing based on your timeline, it could be any day now.

Thanks Neika. It hasn't been the norm for them to email PPR in the past which is actually a GREAT sign since many ppl fear if they get snail mail, they may miss it!

Did you ever have to redo your police certificates?

Najj!! good to see you pop in.

When I recently ordered my notes, I used the number that starts with F which is indicated on the sponsor approval letter. I believe Nevaeha did the same and she received her notes just fine.

Has your baby landed as of yet? We're all waiting for the "happily ever after" story....you know how much we love stories!!!

Hope you're doing well.
