ITA - 15th Nov 2018
Category- FSW(O)
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 :)
Congrats mate...

AOR Date - January 18, 2019
Medical Pass Date - February 27, 2019
Bio-metrics enrollment date - March 25, 2019

After the passage of six months (July 18, 2019) i had escalated a webform query.

IRCC responded to my webform query on July 30, 2019, and stated:

"We are pleased to confirm that the information you provided was transferred to the responsible office. Since your file is located at the Canadian visa office in London, United Kingdom, we invite you to contact them too."

After one day, on July 31, 2019 I received an email from London Visa Office stating that:
"Your application has recently been transferred to this office (London, UK) for processing and is currently awaiting review. We will contact you again as soon as we are able to. In the meantime, please do not send repeat status requests as we will be unable to respond to them. Your cooperation will be appreciated."

I had ordered GCMS Notes as well from applygcms.com, however notes have not arrived even after the passage of 35 days from order acknowledgement.

Moreover since July 31, 2019 i have not received any response from IRCC or London Visa Office.

Would anyone kindly address the following concerns:

1. How much time does London Visa Office take to process an application?

2. What are the steps involved in Background Check and Eligibility since as per my Express Entry Profile both of these are in process.

3. When should i escalate another webform query?

4. By what time should i expect IRCC's final decision?

5. Any further suggestions..

Thank You!
Hey, you could send an email to the office of Mr. Ralph Goodale for your specific statuses on file like criminality, eligibility and security
Please note that;
-you can email him from anywhere in the world for this status request and
-his office works free of cost
You need to simply lay out the specific details of your application as you normally provide while filling out IRCC webform like
Your application no.
Your date of birth.
Your UCI no.
Your type of application
Your stream etc.

In response, his office will update you for the specific statuses on your file.

Email address: goodale@sasktel.net

Good luck!

@Fias34 @faisalmf

bros, I have seen people getting replies from Mr. Ralph Goodale on other forums...based on that, we can say that there is still some time for anyone who would like to seek their help for status updates...

Your file is relatively recent...

people in the past indicated different experiences with regards to their early submissions through web form. Nonetheless, if it is submitted successfully, your job is done...

the response is now at their discretion
