We received pre arrival services letter today. Wish it was the ppr though as i think you can still wait a lot after getting pre arrival letter.
Feb applicant here. 2 months ago nka received dn ako pre-arrival. Sana nga 0-3 months na lng intayin pra sa ppr.

Sorry i don't speak tagalog
People ask questions in English they should reply in English, not everyone here speaks tagalog/visaya.

but I think he said:

He is a February applicant, 2 months ago he received Pre arrival, it could take between 0-3 months to get PPR after PA.

Update lng mejo masakit exp ko sa representative nmin. Delayed ang biometrics nmin dhil sa kanila. May 15 pa dpat may request n kami hndi nila napansin nasa spam folder n pla. Wala din notification sa ecas or gckey. Kaya aun last last week lng kami nkapag bio. Buti naka request agad kami ng extension sa manilaimmigration thru email. Sana un na lang iniintay. Pre-arrival na nung Last week pa ng June.
Alam nyo po meron na din kami bad experience sa mga reprentative namin., we applied Tourist visa twice dalwang beses din na denied. Paano ba naman iniba nila ang Itinerary namin. Ayon, nalaman namin kasi nag request si husband nang ATIP sa cic. Galit na galit po sya. Kaya this time di na kmi Kumuha nang representative. DiY nlng po kmi. . So far so good naman. Hope your papers also will be good . Lagi mo po kulitin rep nyo po.

So I emailed our VO for follow up since mine already exceeded normal processing times (Dependent Sponsorship - just waiting for PPR). I am happy that they responded right away but the response is not promising. :(

Does this mean they just opened/waiting the file to be opened after 6 months since it was transferred in their office?

So, in ECAS does it say on line 2 in PA.

2. We started processing PA's on DATE? that would be AOR2

and did you ever noticed that you got a ghost update in GCKey?

It seems that VO is very slow now to give out PPR's... I wonder why, hm. Maybe we are in the next batch, and lets hope they won't put us there in the start of winter... We really need patience at this point.

It's also pointless to send them an email, they will reply with the same message they use for everyone, I would not like to be the person who sends out these emails, pretty boring if you ask me.

Yep, Line 2 says "We started processing PAs application on March 5, 2019." But was transferred on Feb 27th. And I was even hoping for a ghost update but nothing.

Well I've heard that local MP can help. Will check if I have to reach out to them at this point.

So, you've never noticed in GCKEY under current status the message "application/profile updated" and then the message went back to "submitted". We get about three of those during application process. Was your file in Mississauga before this? In GCKEY what is your application status?
