Your file is opened and is currently under review. This is a good sign and it will take short time to finalise your file.
Thank you once again. Please from experience how long will it take for my application to be finalise or approved from this stage?

Thank you

@BillHyatt This is what I received on 13 March, I am FSWO, 22 Sept AOR, 27 Feb IP2.

What should I expect next considering that I received eye color and height ADR on 07 March ? Appreciate your assistance.


Dear Sir,

I’m afraid that the security checks are still ongoing. The team that processes these have a backlog at the moment, hence the delay. It appears that we have everything else we need for the application.

Kind regards,

Unfortunately, you seem to be selected for security screening and it can take much longer in case of backlogs. As soon as your results are received they will update you.

Security Screening takes a lot more time, however, S.15 verifications are much faster than S.16. You are in final stage and you should receive approval as soon as it finishes.

Hello All and Bill,

i had an ADR request on the 9th of March. i moved to ip2 on the same day as well. the ADR was bio pages of passports and height / eye colour for me and my dependents. i uploaded the docs the same day.

i have even got a ack from london VO. They said "Your file has been updated accordingly and is now with a visa officer for final review". I understand im mostly close to PPR but would we know how long this might take??

A friend with AOR later than mine had the same ADR on the same day as me and he got the PPR 4 days after the ADR were uploaded.

Nishant.

Hi Everyone,

I am PNP candidate, i ordered GCMS notes and in that its showing Eligibility pending & Security Pending. but i believe for PNP candidates security screening is done while nomination itself? then i dnt understand why security screening is showing not yet started & morever compare to FSW , PNP visas should be processed fast as they already cleared security screening. but i can c that PNP visas are taking more time than FSW. can someone tell why PNP visas are taking more time compared to FSW?

Thanks

During Nomination Security Screening, Criminality, Medicals, and Background Part of Admissibility is never carried out. They only do PNP Eligibility Test and a brief check that you meet MEC of IRCC.

Your file is going through Security Screening under S.15 and once completed your file shall get approval. However, time for these checks takes 3-6 months on average.

@BillHyatt

I got a response from VCM that my file is awaiting final review from a migration officer on March 12 ins response to my IRCC CSE enquiry.

I am July 31st PNP-O applicant, my BG check is still IP1 and ADR not applicable as per the CIC account info.

I ordered GCMS notes earlier in November where a review required was written for my spouse PCC. Not sure whether this was the reason still being at IP1. All other things were stated MET and ready to finalize at CIO level.

What do you think my status is up to? Should I order new set of GCMS? Do you suggest to contact them again?

Just came back from the intetview. Message to all- do not worry, it is just a talk with the officer. Nothing to be scared of. Everything was in a polite and friendly manner. He asked us about our work experience mostly, about the parents, and did not even look at a single document that we brought.
After all he said that he is satisfied and he changed eligibility to "passed".but he is not sure of when to expect a ppr. Does anyone know how long it may take? Thanks
