[balzie101]

I reached out to a cic agent earlier today. He was a nice guy and happily responded to my specific queries. I was able to get the following updates.

FSW Outland
Visa office: Ottawa
Aor: Nov 12
Medical: Passed - Dec
Criminality: Passed
Security: not started
Eligibility and background checks: Nothing mentioned the agent said.

He also said that everyevery looks fine so far and it's a bit early for me to check.

When do they usually ask for additional documents?
I mean.. Would they ask for them after 3 or 4 months for example...?

What were you asked? Same documents or different ones?

I was asked IMM 5669 on Nov 30. Mine still says reviewing additional documents

What additional documents did they ask? And on two occasions? Wow, at least your application is being processed. I feel like most of ours are not even looked at.

AOR: November 2nd, here

I just received a message asking me to pay the Right of Permanent Residence fee (which I’m about to pay). I’m not sure what that means (or if it means anything at all), but I’m guessing it’s not exactly bad news, right?

hi everyone,

I'm the dependent in the Application.
My spouse (main applicant) didnt have to do biometrics.
I did the biometrics the second day I received the letter. But still dont see any updates on our application regarding that they got my biometrics.

Anyone in a situation where only the dependent was required to do biometrics?

Most say that it's an indication that you have passed eligibility but I'm not sure. Maybe seniors can advice further.

Did you not pay any fees upfront?

Aor: Nov 12
Medical: Passed - Dec
Criminality: Passed
Security: not started
Eligibility and R10 checks: Nothing mentioned the agent said.

I called up CIC as well and the agent said my background check is going on, she said my file doesn't say anything about R10 completeness.
She was not sure about Criminality and Security as well.
My AOR is 10th Nov.
I had an ADR for PCC which was submitted last week but still says 'The additional documents you have provided have been uploaded'.
BG - "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check".

I am being patient as I have an extensive travel history (about 14 countries) so not expecting anything before 6 months..

That's great. It means that your file has been looked at. Not sure if it says more than that. InreckI it should imply that your application is complete

How to tell if it's in IP1 or IP2?

How to tell if it's in IP1 or IP2?

Doesn't mean much these days but here you go:

IP1 - "In progress" 1: Background check changes to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." Usually follows MEP. Some applicants (especially inland and CEC) skip this stage.

NA2 - "Not Applicable" 2: Background check changes to "Not Applicable" again after IP1. Some applicants skip this stage and it is easily missed.

IP2 - "In progress" 2: Background check changes to "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."
