MR i cannot predict, looks like they have now changed the timelines for MR. As in most cases we see PPR is issued 2-3 months prior to 18 months completion. So if they issue MR early its close to expiry and hence looks like they will send only post 12 months application reaching CIC.
So i completed 12 months since my application reached CIC, my AOR was in June2017. My GCMS notes is 44 pages .On 21Jun2018, case officer will review to see if updates required in the application. What i can understand from GCMS notes is that from Nov2017 every month the file is opened, comment added to review the file. Senior case officer has reviewed the file and assigned to someone to look into eligibility, criminal, security , and medicals.Last file opened was on 05Mar2018, but no one has taken any action since Nov2017.
Notes written by senior case officer to assigned person "application is in Queue for processing and email has been received with respect to this application.Please verify Eligibility and Economic. I had received 2 FT emails one in Jul2017 and other in Nov2017. Both the details are also present in the GCMS notes.No other deviations were seen. Rest all looked fine.
Finally i can say that they will take 17-18 months to process an application going forward, hence things are done slowly. We need to have patience and wait.
Also i received an email response for case Specific enquiry form IRCC which i had raised before 10 days. though its standard response but somewhere we know the application is on track:
CE CSC Do Not Reply / Ne Pas Repondre CSC EC (IRCC) <IRCC.CECSCDoNotReply-NePasRepondreCSCEC.IRCC@cic.gc.ca>
to me
