Hi Everyone here is my timeline:

6th May File Submitted

18th July Medicals passed and RCMP requested

21st July RCMP Provided

No update since then just says background check in progress.

Any ideas when I might get approval. CEC inland
Good news is that you are on the top of the list for next PPR's to come. As to when that will be - it should be in the next couple of weeks ( hopefully next week even ).

Hey Guys,

Below is my timeline..

AOR: May 4th 2017
BG: Not Applicable August 17th 2017
BG: Went to we are processing your back ground check on August 18th 2017

Can someone tell how much time it will take from now onward to get PPR?
Again May first week is the next set of PPR's that we are expecting to come out. This should be in the next couple of weeks, sooner rather than later.

Positive thoughts always!!! I should have added this - in my opinion - CIC is trying to make up for the slow down that was there in mid may to june end. And my reason for thinking that is - look at this from a strategy point of CIC, during the initial 3 to 4 months of this year.. CEC inland applicants were getting PPR's in record times where as the FSW outland applicants were having a longer wait. CIC realized this and kind of prioritized FSW applications and that is cleared to a point where June applicants have received PPR's. Now consider the fact that its much more easier for them to process background check and most of the verifications for CEC applicants ( inland ) which is part of the reason why CEC applications were being approved faster during the first quarter of this year. Also the total number of invitations is around 48,000 for the first 5 months. There was only one invitation each in June and July ( which they did on purpose to catch up with the backlog ). So pretty much FSW is cleared until June, which frees up additional VO's and resources for CIC to engage for the CEC backlog. If indeed that is the strategy they are using ... it will mean that the May AOR applications will see a flood of PPR's in the next couple of weeks.
Guys , I realized something after the above analysis while I was reading something in another forum. One other reason for the delay is due to the fact that its study permit season at CIC. September is the biggest intake time for Colleges and Universities. So part of CIC resources are being held up there as well. The study permit application season should come to an end by end of August / early September as well. Which should speed up the approval process as well. So in short, we should see a plethora of activity from CIC side by end of August / early September. So for everyone waiting since April end / May beginning , we should start seeing results / upgrades in the next 2 to 4 weeks time frame ( possibly sooner ).

Ok, does it say anything in the account about what action ?

And don't panic... i think you are about to get your PPR email bro. I guess there is a delay between your account updated and the email.

@Riyas Siraj

No its doesnt say about any action, it just says your action required in both PR application and express entry application

And under PR application the medical status changed to ( If you need a medical exam, a message with instructions will be sent to you.) thats it

I have a similar Timeline, and my application status looks exactly like yours, but the requested document was Schedule A, only for some very specific dates. I have read a bunch of threads and still don't know if I'm IP1 or IP2.

Hey friends,

I received an email from CIO Sydney for new medical report (IMM 1017 E). I passed my medicals on 5th July and it will expire in October. It seems to me a routine protocol. However, I have one question whether they have completed all other checks by now?

Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated!

Below is the email from CIO Sydney
( Centralized-Intake-Office@cic.gc.ca)

Subject :- New Medical Required

Good day,


My Name

UCI XXXXXXXX

FILE NUMBER E000XXXXX


Please be advised that your medical under IME 1325XXXX is now or will expire within the next 90 days and cannot be reassessed. Please take the attachments sent in a separate email under the new IME 1403XXXX to your approved Panel Physician and have your medical completed.


For further information, please consult the following site:


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp


Thank you,



AQ

(@Kiran K whats your take on this?

I think this is IP1, as I share the same timeline. BGC check should turn to NA and processing again which would be IP2.
