Finally I get to post this!!

PPR for us..:D:D:D


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:confused::confused::confused:
Congratulations. I told you it isn’t that far. All the best

I feel the stress Upasana .. Especially when having a family and so much uncertainity..

I am so glad it worked out for you. Happy Anniversary !! :)

This ppr process is teaching all of us how to deal with stress, loosing hope, finding support from others around.

Huge lesson..

I am sept aor, still waiting on ppr.. Same situation - rr for pof, security not started, updated pof docs submitted 18 june, still waiting for them to pick up the file..

Best Wishes .. Treasure the new life - hope all works out for the best for you and your family and all the pain and patience undergone for this process pays off in due time

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 @Upasana and @OjideK ;

Friends, I received a generic sounding reply via email yesterday;

Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times.
Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required.

We appreciate your patience and ask that you keep correspondence with our office to a minimum.
Does it mean my file is marked RR ?

Should I order GCMS notes ?

Thanks.
