Hi!
I applied, and did it by myself, so I was unaware of some details as I was very rushed to be able to apply ASAP.
Please take your time and try to double check everything to do it as correct as possible.
Hope info about my experience can help others in their process...
Applied: Wednesday Nov 22/2023
Got the Permanent Residence confirmation e mail.
Covered all requirements. All forms filled and signed, I also sent "all" documents required (I included my CV, University Diplomas, Educational Credential Assessments by a Canadian University, and my IELTS report as extra documents)
Didn't include:
1. Anchor's 'provincial card': Honest mistake! I thought they asked for my National Identity Card (which I uploaded), and not the Anchor's :S.
Hope it doesn't happen to anyone else!
But Anchor's (Provincial Card) information had to be crossed and revised by notary upon signing the form filled with such information (Statutory Declaration). So it was confirmed then. - Hopefully if needed, fingers crossed, they can request it later on!
2. Applied on No 22/2023 with the Colombian "Police Certificate" that you can access online; officially translated and notary authenticated.
Processed the Colombian '4GS' Background Verification Certificate on Saturday Nov 25/2023 (When I realized you had to ask private companies for it)
I got a '4GS' confirmation e-mail: Nov 27/2023 stating they would sent the report to the Embassy directly by Friday Dic 1/2023. (The IRCC will translate this document for you), I can't upload the confirmation e-mail I got for this certificate at this point (Also, there is no code or distinctive identification number for this 'background certificate' beyond your full name)

No AOR, yet... But I'm certain that I will get it anytime soon!
Application Status: Submitted.
Best of lucks to all applicants!!!
I know how stressing processing correctly or, waiting for responses can be, but lets just keep our hopes high!
