Hi Guys,
I had applied (outside Canada, from Asia) under express entry program back in 2017. However, in early 2018 I was nominated under a PNP and was able to get ITA shortly after that. However, till to date I have not been called for visa/PPR.
Sharing my case for your reference, and to show how delayed cases can be!
In total, it has been 21 months, with no final resolution!
EE profile created : 28-Sep-2017
PNP application : 01-Jan-2018
PNP nomination : 07-Feb-2018
ITA received : 21-Feb-2018
Police clearance (1st) : 28-Feb-2018
EE application : 22-Mar-2018
AOR : 22-Mar-2018
MEP (1st time) : 28-Mar-2018
(Several communications and 3 GCMS notes in between with very little progress. In March 2019, the validity for PCC and medical was expired.)
Additional doc req. : 09-May-2019
Police clearance (2nd) : 09-Jun-2019
MEP (2nd time) : 26-Jun-2019
Hope this would help you to ascertain more practicable timeline.
Patience is the key here. Although I am not sure if my case would be successful or not
Thank you.
