Hi there,

Can you please help brother to understand what stage I am at or when am I likely to get an update.

AOR : 1st Feb, 2019
Category : CEC Inland
Visa Office : Montreal
Criminality: In Progress
Eligibility: In Progress
Security: Not Started
ADR : 12th September, 2019 (Additional marriage photos, chats and Spouse Biometrics request)
ADS : 18th September, 2019 (Spouse Biometrics & ADS as requested)

Silence after that.

Please share your expertise as I completed exact 8 months today.

I called CIC yesterday where agent said file looks good can see some notes on 24th September, 2019 but didnt tell me how what it was.

So I have ordered GCMS today to know better.

Please & Thank You.

Wish everyone gets PPR soon!

The only thing you can do is to request GCMS notes again. You can also email Ralph Goodale but he will only give you the status of the assessments not a detailed status of your application.

I think that your PPR is on its way. The September 24 notes means that someone has recently looked at your file. This is a good sign!

Were you able to know why there is review required on your eligibility ?

If you decide to email Ralph Goodale. Below is the template that people have been using to him. Email him during Canadian office hours. ( in the morning is better) His office will reply to you on the same day. Good luck!

Reposting the template for you...

Hi @Bunny Thapar, I am in same state as yours. AOR - 4th February CEC Inland, I have applied for work permit extension on July 12, so I believe the extension will be processed first before they process PR application.

Yes you can order GCMS notes. Generally people advice to wait 60-90 days post AOR before ordering your first set.

Thank you @cansha .. Just now got a ghost update, hoping we get positive news soon

Congratulations I saw on your signature that it is finally PPR. All the best in Canada!!!

Thanks for the positive & motivating reply.

Hope it turns out to be true and I get PPR soon.

Completed 8 months today.

Wish PPR for everyone!

Same stage as urs. HOw do you get a work permit? Is it requried to have an offer letter? And how long is the process?

 

[MwaitingforPPR]

Hey @cansha - I called CIC a week or two ago and found out that my application was getting processed in Montreal. My timeline is a part of my signature. When i called them, i was told that my eligibility was still in process/ not completed and Background check including Criminality has not started and would start only when Eligibility is complete.

Thats strange I called them yesterday and the agent said that my criminality has passed and eligibility and security not started yet. Mine is being processed at Montreal I came to know that yesterday. Montreal VO looks slow compared to other VOs.

Not everyone receives BIO requests so thats normal. Looks like Montreal VO is too slow.
