I am afraid we have no other option than to patiently wait, as an Agent told me on call yesterday. I completed 7 months on Oct 2, with Eligibility recommended pass, criminality and security not started since April 11. My file has never been put on Review required, and I have never had any ADR. All look fine as per GCMS notes. So, I am not able to even figure out why it has not been touched for 6 months out of 7. I have so far requested and received three notes, but they were all identical. My file is in Ottawa. I think they are all very slow nowadays.

Yes you are right. Many applicants are facing similar issue. Most of us are getting generic replies when we call or get gems notes. Files are not touched for months. I guess they have lot of backload and this has resulted in delays in processing times. What really shocks me is the short duration in which few people receive their pprs despite such delays. We can’t do anything about it apart from praying and waiting. Good luck
The worse is that I, just like many of us, paid everything upfront. I have received several generic replies from them. I even raised a CSE to tell them that it is unfair continue saying that application differ and can take different timeframes for analysis when they don't even open some. How do they judge that an application is complicated when for 6 months out of 7 they have not even opened it? A month after I submitted my application a Case Analyst put recommended pass and ready to finalize and they just classified the file forever. Many of us are in the same situation, and no matter how many CSE we send, it does not move CIC. Let´s continue to wait and see what next!
The first time I ordered notes (Aug 17), I'd done it by myself. I've mailed ATIP-AIPRP@cic.gc.ca , asking them to look into the delay.
I've requested notes again last week, through a third party.
I have not gotten RR nor ADR so far. Every time I call, they tell me there's no concerns with the application and that nothing is pending from my end.
I'm not sure what else we can do at this point...
Hi my case is exactly same as yours. My file is at NS too! Did you receive ADR? Any update?
Hey guys. So cic asked for additional docs ) I uploaded them and next day it was “not applicable” WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!

I think Ralph office isn’t helpful, I am in regina and have contacted them severally they only provided me with the information you get from ordering GMC notes. This is the exact reply I got from them the only difference is that your security has been Initiated. I even contacted them yesterday to see if they can at least expidiate my breach work permit application because I applied for it Sept 7th and am going back to my county for one month from dec 6th as I have an important event that needs my presence and I fear that I can’t get my work permit processed by then. The lady from Ralph’s office said they don’t have the Authourity to expidite the application process and I shouldn’t travel till I get my document which is really sad, I am really worried as I have planed this trip since last year Nov and my PR application is going to be 8months by Oct 28th.
Got my GCMS notes, not sure which point my file's stuck at.

The rest seems to be fine, but Review Required means a longer wait.
