AOR - 7th Jan 2019
Medical passed -15th Feb 2019
Biometrics - 27th Feb 2019
Eligibility & Criminality passed - no idea about the dates or GU as my case was with a consultant - but by July 20 as per Mr Ralph it was passed + Security Screening not started yet :/
PPR - 13th Sept (from London Visa Office)
249days total
Dint order any GCMS notes.
-Waited patiently till July 7th but then started investigating and joined this forum to find out why/ whats taking them so long .. then begged the consultant to raise a webform they still dint tell me if they ever got a reply for the webform -.-
Took charge on my own : -
1-Mailed Mr Ralph on July 20 found out Eligibility and criminality passed.. BUT ...Security checks have not been initiated.
2- Then called IRCC after much contemplation because i dint know what verification info the consultant had given ..but just went for it and the agent at IRCC wasn't of any help as my application was being processed outside Canada .
3-Mailed London Visa office they got back to me in an hour stating cant give information /update as e-mail is not registered !
4- Tried to call IRCC again mainly to update or add my e-mail ID so i can get updates from LVO but sadly just a day before that service closed due to influx of calls worldwide.
5- Was just going to purchase a virtual number to call IRCC that i received a call from the consultant that YOU'VE GOT MAIL !
I in a very monotone non- excited voice said thanks and then just gave thanks to GOD !
this period of waiting just killed my excitement ,maybe the process of wrapping up and moving.. brings it back
- Takeaway from my experience pls advise your friends or others applying for the PR do not go for a consultant ( they just eat ur money ) unless ur case is difficult or needs an Immigration Lawyer (Lawyer is different and Consultant is a different thing)
I had an issue and went with the agency but later sorted out on my own and as i had paid them already so continued the express entry application.
Everything is available on youtube ..this forum or different facebook groups !
To all who answered my queries thankyou and to everyone who's waiting i pray the wait is short and sweet and ends soon with a happy ending !
inshaAllah
