Is any October 18 AOR still pending to receive the PPR? Sadly I complete 6 months today and there are no signs of progress at all... so worried I am.

I am 18 oct aor. Ip2 since sometime in January. No ppr yet

RPRF: Right of Premanent Residence Fee: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1396&top=4. You either pay it along with the application or after submission. Without this fee, the PR will not be issued

Oh right thanks

Hi All,

I ordered GCMS notes on March 11 and received them this morning. I noticed that on Page 2 of the applications, I saw the Assessment Details:

Eligibility: Recommend Passed
Security: Not Started
Criminality: In Progress
Medical: Passed
Info Sharing: In Progress

However, under Client Details with my information (Page 4), I see:

Security: Not Started
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed
Info Sharing: Complete

How do I interpret my current status for those who have ordered GCMS notes? Does anyone know the reason for the different stages being reported for Criminality and Info Sharing? Could it be that they have completed my assessment (primary applicant) but not for my spouse (who is Outland)?
Any tips on deciphering this 147 page document would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I did some research on the CIC/IRCC website, and it looks like we might be using the wrong terminology for CIC offices inside Canada. Without reading the whole thing below, basically offices inside Canada are probably not called Visa Offices, which is why the agent said you did not have a "Visa Office" assigned yet. Your application is being processed at the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Sydney, Nova Scotia. This is normal and not something to worry about. Since you are an Outland applicant, when CPC Sydney approves your application, they will probably assign a Visa Office in your country to give you your visa (I am not too familiar with how Outland works, but that would be my guess).

Here are the details of what I found out, regarding terminology and which offices do what:

For offices that process applications/issue visas outside Canada: the term is "Visa Office". Visa Offices are located in the Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates in foreign countries. You can find a list of Visa Offices here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices.html

For offices that process applications inside Canada: the terms are:

• "Case Processing Centre" (CPC): CPCs are located in various Canadian cities and are the main CIC/IRCC offices where PR applications are processed.
• "Centralized Intake Office" (CIO), which is where all PR applications pass through first. You can find a list of CPCs and the CIO here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices.html
• Other CIC (IRCC) offices: There are lots of other IRCC offices which support processing of PR applications and/or conduct interviews etc. These other offices are: Calgary, Vancouver, Surrey, Winnipeg, Fredericton, St. John's, Halifax, Hamilton, Yellowknife, Kitchener, London, Niagara Falls, Toronto (Scarborough), Toronto (Etobicoke), Windsor, Montreal, Saskatoon. You can find a full list here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/canada-appointment-only.html
• One or more of these above types may be referred to informally as "Visa Offices", but I don't see any reference to this on the CIC/IRCC website. When I asked a call centre agent what my visa office was, he did not know what I was asking. This makes sense as I am in the CEC stream within Canada, so would not need a Visa Office in my home country. When I asked where my application was being processed, he told me it was Edmonton (i.e. CPC Edmonton).
• Note: The officer who gives final approval to your application seems to have the title "Visa Officer" , regardless of whether you are applying inside or outside of Canada.

Below is a list of what types of permanent residence applications each CPC (inside Canada) processes normally. Sometimes applications are "redistributed" when one office is overwhelmed, to try to cut down waiting times. Non-CPC IRCC offices may also assist with your application. Therefore you may have your application processed by a CPC that does not normally process your type of application, or a non-CPC IRCC office.

CPC Edmonton: PR applications for protected persons and convention refugees in Canada, live-in caregivers, Caring for Children and Caring for People with High Medical Needs pathways, PR under the temporary resident permit holder class

CPC Mississauga: Sponsorship for family members living in Canada and abroad

CPC Sydney: PR Cards and Citizenship (not PR applications)
CIO Sydney: Receives all PR applications first, then processes them locally or sends them to a CPC.

CPC Ottawa: PR applications from within Canada and the US, after the application is deemed complete by CPC in Sydney or Mississauga.

Thank you very much for this detailed information. I appreciate your time and consideration.

Hey - you can check the details in the thread above - when you use the 613-944-4000 after selecting the immigration option - the system re-directs you to a different number. You can scroll to see the IVR options that you need to use

What comments can you see in the "Notes" section? They will be there right at the bottom. Hopefully, you should have comments by "Program Assistant" and "Case Analyst" that you can refer to and understand the recommendations they have made to the VO who will then approve the application.

I am 18 oct aor. Ip2 since sometime in January. No ppr yet

What’s ur current status for eligibility, criminality and security?

 

[manivannan0504]

12 Oct Aor. Called last week, eligibility and criminality passed, security not started.
Called today, same status.
This is nerve wrecking, especially after crossing the 6 month mark.

 

[Blackhole]

I also called an agent earlier today and she said that my Criminality is passed. But they are still reviewing my eligibility and security. It is super frustrating when the 6 month period is passed and the status is unchanged for a long time.

They really need to update their processing times. I don't think it's 6 months anymore.
