Congratulations !!!
Thank You for the detailed updates.

One Quick Question:
You mentioned that you "sent an email to Winnipeg (Nov 4th) and received a response within 15mins"

From where we need to locate the address of VO?
My VO office is Edmonton, so what is the address of the office so that I can send the email too.

Thank You.


Thank you. I got the email address from this thread. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...d/threads/processing-at-winnipeg-ircc.609195/. Not really sure who initially go the address and from where. Try searching in this forum with the keywords.

All the best!
 
feeling hopeless that my file is processing at CIO Sydney, NS

I heard it is the slowest office and none of them get in within 6 months?
 
Hello Everyone,

I received my PPR today.
AOR - May 3rd
VO - Winnipeg
Single Applicant, Nationality Indian, but US resident.
Medicals passed on June 12th, submitted Biometrics on June 28th. No update since then until today.
Applied for GCMS on Sep 18th but never received it. (I got the 90 day extension email).
Waited till the completion of 6 months, sent an email to Winnipeg (Nov 4th) and received a response within 15mins saying that my application is yet to be assigned to an officer.
Raised a webform (Nov 5th) asking the status of eligibility, criminality, security and received the following response.

The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied, you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is currently valid.
Received an email this morning saying I have new message in my account. Opened the account to see status change from 'submitted' to 'updated' and a passport request letter in the messages.
No ghost update (May be I missed it during the weekend, not really sure. I usually check everyday, except for weekends.)

This thread has been really very helpful. All I did was wait patiently until the 6 months period finished.

Good luck everyone :)
Hi Congratulations!!

What date did you receive the response for your Web form request? Just trying to understand how long it is taking for the security step to clear.
 
I was able to talk to an agent and was advised that "Eligibility is met, not passed - A junior officer said ok, senior officer must approve" and "Security step not started"

Thanks for your detailed post.
I received no message but today logging in to my account, I found my application status change from "submitted" to "application/profile updated".
Is it a ghost update and it means PPR email is coming soon?

Yes, I presume its a ghost update. I've seen in most forums and FB groups where a ghost update is followed by a PPR email soon. May be a week or 2. I wish you get your PPR sooner than later. Good luck!

We are on the same boat.

Fingers crossed that we get it by this week.

To be honest, I have to prepare for Plan B while waiting for this :(
