I got another ghost update today - security check is done.
Now all stages are completed, waiting for the officer's approval.

I wonder how long can it take

That's great! Hopefully you'll get the golden email very soon! When you get ghost updates, do you receive the email notification or can you only see when you log in to the account? I've never got a ghost update, so I was just wondering...

naah..I do not trust CIC anymore.
When re-medical came everyone was confident I am getting PR in 10 days, and I was expecting too!
Now its been 1.5 months, no sign of PR

Upasna after taking your remedical, did u uploaded the hospital receipt or form somewhere ?

PPR is close then. Maybe Tuesday. Good luck.

Hi there,

Do you mind if I ask why you said Tuesday? Is it when PPRs are usually sent??

Thanks in advance

Hi

It started on July 12 after I got the first ghost update. I called CIC and learned that security check started. Today I got the second ghost update. I called CIC again and they told me that Security Check is completed and the file is waiting for the final approval.

Thank you! When I received ghost updates, I didn't get any emails. I just logged into my account and saw "profile updated" status.

Tomorrow

I hope so!

Hello guys,

So I woke up to see the golden RFV email on my phone after battling this journey for this long.

This came after I posted that I raised a CSE expressing the travesty that was done in the evaluation of my POF by the case officer who stated an amount well below what I had declared. I prepared my counter argument and requested that a review be done again as I believe that this could be a reason for the delay I have experienced which is totally unfair.

However, so the story goes and on this note my watch has ended.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed by sharing info or providing updates of their journey as well.

Congrats!! After reading your story with the POF, I decided to order GCMS notes too (I'm in the euro zone). Glad you got it all sorted! All the best!

Finally I get to post this!!

PPR for us..


After 235 days.. We got the GOLD

VO: Ottawa
Consultant: Y- Axis (we had full access of our file)


Timeline in short:

CRS: 462

ITA: 15th Nov 18

AOR: 28th Nov 18

Me: 8th Jan 19

ADR: 8th Jan 19(IMM5475), submitted on 9th Jan 19


No update after that.


GCMS applied through ATIP: 29th April, never received


Called on 6th month completion and was told file untouched


Re-medical request for husband: 4th June 19 ( his medical was about to expire in July 19)


Background processing started (so called IP2): 4th June 19 Medical cleared: 12th June 19


Called on 14th June and was told Criminality passed, security did not start and eligibility under RR.


Confirmed the same from Ralph.


Requested fresh GCMS notes via GETGCMS: 20th June 19, still waiting (not required anymore)


Reviewing of ADR changed to "Not Applicable": 20th July 19


PPR: 23rd July 19 (mail shows date as 22nd July 19)


I have been calling CIC each week. Last Thursday also when I called they told me Eligibility in RR. Actually it was a mixed response, we mailed Ottawa office and they told us, file is in queue for review by officer, some agents said RR and some said normal review going on. Never found out if it was actually on RR and what was the reason. Never received any GCMS notes.


It has been a terrifying journey, sleepless nights, depression, issues at work, but today I feel it was worth the wait. Oh yes, I lost 17kgs since AOR to PPR. Lol.


My husband is already in Canada studying, so it was a tough phase for us. But we finally sailed through. Rather it is our 2nd Anniversary on 28th July and this is a gift from CIC to us. I wonder if they had been holding it intentionally now. Hahaha.


My husband had a job offer and without PR it was tough for him to get it as he had applied considering he would get it in 6 months. So well yes had gone through a very bad phase but all is worth it now.


*** Lastly, I need help ***


Never read the posts about how to submit passport after receiving the mail as I thought I will never get it.

My husband is in Canada, so should I submit my passport and get COPR and travel to Canada and then he gets his passport stamped? Or is there some other procedure when the dependent is already in Canada and the primary is outside?

Also please guide me what documents do I need to take with me to VFS office? And about photographs, does vfs Office gets it done there? I am from Kolkata so anybody who have submitted in Kolkata office please guide me.


Thank you everyone who has helped me in this journey. I still can't believe I actually got it and now it is my turn to share my timeline..


FINALLY...MY WATCH HAS ENDED
