Hello guys.........my application was received by IRCC on October 2020 and lastly I got invitation for pre-arrival services on October 02, 2021. Just recently the background check in my GCKEY has changed from "We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information" to "your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". What does this change signifies ? Any reply would be highly appreciated.............Thanks............

Might be a better question for the inland crowd, but has anyone that's submitted through the online portal received their PR Card? It's been almost a month since I submitted my passport and photo and my photo is still under review

Our photos showed "Under Review" for a bit, but did wrap up within a month. Here's a link to our detailed portal timeline.

The gist of it:

2021-09-27: PR Confirmation Portal link email received
2021-10-27: Third (and final) dependent - PR card received.

Ok, guess a month isn't crazy then. I received the eCOPR and portal invite on 10/8, and had my picture and everything uploaded within a day or two. the photo is the only thing still in review, wasn't sure if it meant there was an issue there or they are just lagging

What I found interesting was the fact that the photos were assessed individually, and the approvals -- and subsequent PR card mailings -- trickled in one at a time.

They didn't come through in UCI order, or alphabetical by first name order. I guess a case could be made that it was in order of DOB, without taking the year into account...

But overall, it seemed pretty random.

not sure if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone know what service offers the best rate for converting currency from USD to CAD?

we're looking to move money across the border, but the exchange rates im finding are way lower than market value.

You may have better luck asking this type of question on other forums, such as the ones in "Moving to Canada from the U.S."
