November 2018 AOR - Join here

After 2 days finally got hold of an agent and said my application requires final review from the officer
Eligibility - Recommended Pass, Criminality - Passed and Security - Not started

The officer is waiting to get response from the government agencies who are carrying the background checks. These government agencies take time to carry out their checks and once they respond, my file should be picked up and approved. He didn't say how long it will take for them to respond but seemed very confident that it shouldn't be long because at this point the application looks to be in final stages so it's just a matter of time when the government agencies respond

What government agencies? Theirs or ours? And how is it then few go from nothin to BG verified in a matter of 2-3 days?

Today my consultant said that he has raised a web form today in the afternoon. However, I have not received any acknowledgement from the authorities. He said that they sometimes don't send it. Is he correct?

I didn't receive an acknowledgment when submitted the web form. I submitted my application directly.

Another story to be added to the list of silent readers.
AOR 17th November 2018
Medical passed - somewhere in december
RPRF and Background Check started on 8th May 2018
No updates before 8th May,2018
PPR May 14,2018
This was not an easy journey for me i lost my husband in a car accident before submitting my profile, I had Responsibility of my 4 years old son on my shoulders. Despite of many factors that was trying to stop me, i decided to apply and the day finally comes.
Long story short - just keep praying, i can understand that some people are getting ppr earlier as compared to others but all we can hae is patience and trust in supreme power. We have worked hard for it and we will achieve it one day meanwhile just be positive and have patience.

I pray that everyone gets their ppr from this thread and by the end of MAY we can close this thread with all the smiling faces and on a positive note.Stay Blessed.Stay Adored Guys! Good luck and my best wishes are with you all .

Yes..huge connection in here..
I am not sure if they give any details about how they woukd take care of the pet during stops(if in cargo). If in cabin it would be our responsibility.
Well, if we check the flight details on their website, we would know the layover details, like the timing. I did not ask these as I will take my cat with me. I trust no one else other than me when it comes to travelling so far.
Quarantine certificate and health certificate should be max within 10 days from the day of your flight. That is what Animal Husbandry told me.
My cat panics even when we take her out in the car. We will cover her cage with some cloth so that she cannot see clearly (that is how she is taken to the vet) if she sees something so freaks out. Just sound would definitely matter but I think she would still be better than watching anything.
Even if she cries or creates a fuss, the same is done by babies in flight and people get offended. People would always have problem no matter what. Parents don't leave their kids and board a flight, I wouldn't do the same.
My cat is my baby and it is my responsibility to take her safely no matter who has what issues.
Similarly if she poops, which she would and if I am not allowed to clean it, would ask for some room fresheners. I was not allowed to clean it, so its not my fault. If people has issues, I would ask them to speak with the crew..or best ask them to deal with it!!!! LOL

Good to know. Let me check more .

Hi All
Silent reader here with update as follows:
Application for my wife and I. NOC 2161 and 5241. South Africa.
TIMELINE:
* Applied / Entered pool on 20 October 2018 with 489 points
* ITA 29 October 2018
* Submit application 12 November 2018
* AOR / Accepted ITA 13 November 2018
* Medicals Passed 18 December
* Biometrics Request 19 December
* Biometrics submitted 20 December
* Ghost Update 7 May (6 days before 6 month mark!)
* Biometrics Updated to “Completed” 10 May
* PPR 14 May 2019 (email marked as 13 May which is exactly on the 6 month mark)
* Submit Passport 14 May 2019 Pretoria VFS.
* Our VO was Ottawa.

We already have 10 year visitors visas so we booked flight tickets for 12 June. We should receive our passports back within the next 2 weeks with COPR. Is that a fair assumption?

Thanks to everyone for contributing to this group and for answering all my questions without me having to ask any! Hope everyone gets PR soon especially @SithLord !

Wow! NOC 2161 and 5241, that's really a one-of-a-kind career path!

Congratulations!!!

Great to know you are almost hitting the final. I called them and got to know my Eligibility and Crime both passed, security in process. I do not understand if background checks rely on other agencies which takes long, then why someone can get their golden email within 3 months?

Seriously, no clue what they really do anymore. I have pretty much given up trying to understand them.

I was told Security only starts after eligibility is passed but mine is only recommended pass and yet the agent says background checks are in progress. On the other hand, he also said security - Not initiated What kind of sorcery is this?

 

[SithLord]

Thats a great news buddy ..very happy for you. I wish you good luck bro !!!

Thanks

Still waiting for PPR

 

[SithLord]

When is the next batch? Is it every Tuesday?

I'm guessing it will be Tuesday since Monday is a holiday

This is a very detailed post. Thank you
I would be travelling with my pet too. A persian cat er adopted.
Air Canada was our 1dt option. However the size they mentioned when we called them for cabin..It was too small. We checked in vet shops and found that the carrier size they suggested is good for only a guiniea pig.
However Air Canada is direct flight so better that way..And if u choose cargo for ur pet then no issues.
I am very reluctant in keeping my pet in Cargo. I would prefer to keep ke with me, so Air Canada option has been waved off.

Now we are looking for Lufthansa. We called them, and their cat carrier dimension allowed in cabin is 118cm dimension. 8kgs total. This is way bigger and does not give a restriction to any particular size dimension. Only issue is it has 2 stop at Germany.

So whichever flight u choose, call them up 1st to get to kMow their rules of carrying pet. Each has their own.

Microchip is not required, but we were told in India it is required. Do if u ever plan to bring ur pet to India, they won't allow it in if no microchip is there from India.
Lastly Canada does not need quarantine..But India needs. Pet won't be allowed to leave India if there is no Quarantine certificate from India. Again, another useless step. I am from Kolkata and I visit the animal husbandry, i was told they will give quarantine certificate if we have all vaccinations record in place and updated..And health certificate.

I am still waiting for PPR..But started the vaccinations. 2 vaccines are require for cat.

Please let me know if u need any more information. Would be glad to help

I've traveled with both aircanada and Lufthansa from Europe to Canada with my dog in cabin. I can tell you that aircanada had 10kg allowance and Lufthansa was 8. Lufthansa was also stricter on size and checked every inch and gram, but aircanada didn't.
In terms of pets in cargo, I strongly recommend against, and Lufthansa is way better if you really have to. For in cabin the carrier should be soft sided as that way you are sure it will fit under the seat. This may be a challenge with a cat as they can cut the mash easily.

What government agencies? Theirs or ours? And how is it then few go from nothin to BG verified in a matter of 2-3 days?

Probably CSIS and their allies.

I really don't know anymore what really goes on in CIC. They say security not started and yet my BG checks are going by government agencies. As long as I get the PPR I will be relieved
