Who else is excited about Monday heralding a new week? After the weekend I know officers are working on our applications. I pray the good news we are all expecting will come with this new week!

Amen

Is there anyone here who received AOR in February 2021 and still waiting for AIP.

Yes... Someone close to me. Application went into processing mid Feb... But I heard ircc recently contacted the place of work. Hopely he will get his approval soon

When i called 2 weeks ago. The agent told me they are doing my employment background check. How long will it take an officer to do background check for christ sake. Many people who submitted their application way after me has recieved their AIP.

very frustrating. my application went into processing since March 18, 2021 , still no AIP after I have submitted almost 1,400 hours.
I called Refugee Board on Friday to find out if my Refugee Claim has been put on hold. They told me NO.
am very worried too.

someone ask me to request for my GCMS note to know what is going on with my application. I don't know if its a good idea

Did you use work or intership/placement /volunteer as 120 hours?
I heard those who did not use work as 120 hours are getting scrutinized badly.

If they contact your workplace eh, it's like they have doubts. This is because they can directly confirm from the CRA through your T4 if you worked in the said place. Well, case officers differ.

Yes correct, but sometimes not a the jobs you do shows on CRA

Yeah... This person too used internship. And as for how long... I remember wen he called... They say it is under exployment checking as far back as April. Then this June... They contacted the place of employment may ending

NO, I worked . I submitted my application with 140 which falls between June and August 13th 2020.
Then i submitted another hours of 847 in March. I didn't use any placement hours

 

[derin1010]

How? If you paid tax, CRA will have real time information on that, or?

Yes. This happened to me personally few years back. I worked for 5 different employers. 2 of the t4 didnt show on my CRA. Though the employers sent the T4. And i filed my tax with it with no issues.

Also, for those of you who have withdrawn your refugee claims pending PR through this pathway, kindly tell me how you did it. Did you send your AIP to the IRB and request for withdrawal? Must the refugee claim be withdrawn before you get COPR? Because if it's like that I want to know what to do.

It's better you wait for instruction from IRCC before you make any move to withdraw your refugee claim.
At the right time,IRCC will write you to withdraw it.
If you do it yourself without getting that instruction,you will fall out of status and you know what that means

I agree with Apovine. This is one thing in this whole process that you need to wait for the go ahead from the IRCC. Please don't withdraw your claim before they tell you to. On the other hand I have seen a couple of people who got COPR without getting any instruction from IRCC to withdraw their claim. I guess it was done automatically.

 

[Orahman]

Call IRCC directly to know what is happening

I just got off the phone with IRCC. The agent told me there is no new update that the application is in process.

Just the regular information as usual
