Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share and leave an update here regarding the progression of my application for anyone interested.
AOR: May 17, 2019
Medical Passed: June 28, 2019
No update ever since.
Called IRCC a few weeks ago (before my estimated completion date) about how the processing is coming along, and the agent said my security and background check were already being processed.
Fast forward to today: November 21, 2019 (4 days past the 6 months), I called IRCC again to check up on the status of my application and this is what the agent said:
My background check has passed,
but my eligibility is currently under review.
She says this occurs quite often with Canadian Experience Class applications, so there is nothing to worry about - HOWEVER, I may need to wait a few more weeks. She said I possibly MAY have to wait until the beginning of next year to hear something back and get an update. I also discovered today that my visa office is Sydney (which explains the longer processing time).
*Side Note
I also have another application ongoing in my account for permanent residency which is under the provincial nominee program (sent by mail). She told me my medical and eligibility passed for that application - which is great news! I actually just received an e-mail this morning with an update asking for a police certificate.
Also, both my applications are being processed in the Sydney visa office but it looks to me like my PNP application is moving along much faster than the Express Entry one.
That is all I have for now. Goodluck to everyone else who are still waiting for PPR and I'm looking forward to seeing all your updates and timelines!
