Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[BrightDez]

Hi everyone. Finally, it is my turn! During this stressful process, I read this forum everyday and it helped me a looooot. Thank you so much! That is why I know how important to share timeline and tips. So, here is mine:

Non-EE PR Application submitted: Nov 16, 2023

BIL and AOR: Feb 20, 2024

Medical request: Mar 12, 2024 (I had one medical done before, I submitted it with the application, but they ignored it somehow. So, don't worry if they request again. Just do another one.)

PAL: never got it (but I had a representative so maybe he got it but didn't forward me, I am not sure)

Final decision notification: Again, my representative never let me know but listen to this: During the process I called IRCC once a week -of course never connected to an agent- but I used the automated phone service, which is a machine telling you the status of your application in a generic way. The last time I called was on Sept 6, for the first time machine didn't say anything and tried to connect me to an agent. Anxiously, I came back to this forum and found out that means your application process is completed.

P1: Sept 10, 2024 (replied in a couple of hours)

P2: Sept 24, 2024 (here I would recommend to take a digital picture in a professional photographer -not in Shoppers or London drugs kinda place. The real professional ones are a bit more expensive but worth it. I didn't know this and got my photo from London drugs, but then the system gave me warning saying "too bright or too dark". I didn't submit and run to a professional photographer. The system accept it as it is immediately)

e-copr: Oct 1, 2024 (I linked the PR card application to my GCKEY next day)-(at this stage, you don't have to wait for the physical card, just go change your SIN, go to your bank, let your HR know, change your health card and driver's license. I did them all in a few days. The other thing is, since you change your SIN, your CRA account with the old SIN will be deactivated. Wait for the deactivation -it takes a couple of weeks. After making sure that you are not able to sign in to your old CRA account, open a new account with your new SIN number. At that stage the system will ask you last year's numbers in your tax assessment, just enter those numbers as is shown in your assessment, and then you will see in the new account, your old stuff are linked automatically)

Final Decision Notification for PR card (GU1): Oct 17, 2024
PR card is mailed Notification (GU2): Oct 18, 2024

PR card in my mailbox: Oct 23, 2024 (and by the way, in the portal, the photo looks still "in review", so don't worry if any info looks "in review")

In PR tracker, the eligibility still shows "not started", so don't worry if it is the case in yours.
Sorry, it is a bit long post, but I want to share the knowledge, especially the stuff I had a hard time finding back then.

Good luck everyone! I hope you all get yours very soon.

Congrats

Hello @Miss bee please do you have an idea how IRCC calculate processing time. I mean is it from the date of applications submission or the date of receipt of AOR. Regards

Hello @Miss bee please do you have an idea how IRCC calculate processing time. I mean is it from the date of applications submission or the date of receipt of AOR. Regards

IRCC generally calculates processing time from the date the application is received by them, not from the issuance of the Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR).

Hi all, I finally have good news (I think) today after two years of waiting. In my IRCC portal, I see
Latest update:
Final decision - October 28, 2024:Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I called IRCC this afternoon and the agent confirmed that my application has been approved and landing process will follow.
But in the tracker no CoPR yet, and background still shows in progress. Anyone knows when I can expect CoPR?

TIA.

Hello @Miss bee, where can we see IRCC live inventory by program types? I'm concerned that PNP processing will be greatly delayed if there's a huge inventory that they couldn't settle this year and there won't be much quota next year

Hey @Miss bee, I submitted my Biometric fee on 22nd October after receiving AOR and biometric fee request. On today (29th October,2024) I received email stated as below :

We are pleased to confirm that the payment has been added to your file.

If further information is needed during the processing of your application, the responsible office may contact you.

I have two questions in follow up :

* How many more days it will take to receive my BIL ?
* What BIL email looks like and will I receive email or it will be in Gckey portal ?

Thank you.

@Miss bee : I have been waiting for the eCOPR for the past month. It's frustrating. Do you have any idea why this is taking so long in the final step?

Hey @Miss bee, I submitted my Biometric fee on 22nd October after receiving AOR and biometric fee request. On today (29th October,2024) I received email stated as below :

Thank you.

The Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL) is usually issued within 24-48 hours after submitting the visa application. However, processing times can vary depending on the volume of applications at the visa office.

• If it has been more than a few days since your application submission, it’s a good idea to monitor both your GCKey portal and the email associated with your application for updates. Some applications may experience minor delays, but receiving BIL within 5-10 business days is typical.


2. How will I receive the BIL – via email or GCKey portal?

• The BIL is generally sent to you via the GCKey portal. You will receive an email notification informing you of a new message in the portal, but the letter itself will be accessible only inside your GCKey account.

• The email notification will come from an official Government of Canada address (usually ending with @cic.gc.ca or @canada.ca), with subject lines like “You have a new message in your account” or “Update regarding your application.” Make sure to also check your spam/junk folder, as these emails sometimes get flagged by email providers.

If you still don’t see any updates, you can try logging in to your GCKey portal regularly or contact IRCC for clarification.

It’s pretty normal these days . You should get something by middle of next month for sure. Hang tight. Don’t stress.
