Received email to submit info for PR portal login on April 11 which concludes positive decision has been made for my parents. Good luck everyone.

Hearty congratulations Sachin ! Was this inland application or parents were outside of canada? Which office processed the application?

Hi all,

I got this update on my account." Final decision - April 12, 2024: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made." Does this mean next stage is passport request. FYI my mother passed the medical on 5th Apr

congrats

Incredible how quickly 2023 is being processed it seems. Most 2022 have been taking a very long time from the posts I see.

I hope so too

Question regarding Medical. My parents are in Canada on visitor records; their medicals are done in November last year. Should they need to do again the medical for PGP

Can anyone help me figure out following?

I got a request for additional documents (Adhar card, voter id etc) on March 22nd 2024 and I have responded to the email on April 10th, 2024 and received an automated response from IRCC which doesnt mention about acknowledgeent of documents.

• Is there a way to confirm that they received documents? Do we have a helpline number for getting in touch with them as I am sponsor and representative on the application
• I haven't yet received AOR for my application and the application in the PR portal still shows "Submitted" is it normal?
• I have only XF number and is it possible to see progress of application anywhere? Any portal or link where I can do that?

My timeline is -
Interest submitted in 2020
Parents outside Canada
Received invite to apply - Oct, 2023
Application submitted - Dec 13, 2023
Additional documents requested - March 22, 2024
Additional documents submitted (response via email) - April 10th, 2024

Hi there! I just got an email for biometrics for my parents but no AOR. My representative says not sure if eligibility is met or not.
Anyone in the same boat?

Thanks for the wishes. Yes, It was Inland Procedure. My suggestion to everyone is once any kind of procedure starts with Canadian Immigration, Avoid sending them so much changes which can cause delays (This is my experience and my opinion). Also, keeping it simple and not overthinking helps a lot. you did your part and they will do theirs. nothing is in our hands. My timeline follows:

I called IRCC this morning, they confirmed that my completion check was done on Jan 15, but not moving at all since then, I haven't even received the AOR. Anyone in the same boat? I submitted my application on Oct 21, 2023.

How are you to able to call them? I am unable to get through the IVR options. They keep asking for the application number which I don't have. I haven't received the AOR as well

it starts with XF...., if they had emailed you for additional doc.

It's radio silence for me after submitting the application. I don't have any reference number

Hello, You submitted BLS PCC OR from local police station ? If it was from BLS then how long it took?

It was directly through a PSK located in India since my mother is currently in India. She got her PCC in her mail in exactly 2 weeks
