Hi
I am inland applicant living here since last 4 yrs.
I am preparing my documents for PR Application.

I want to know, do we need to get Canadian Police Certificate now to submit along with other documents?

No you don't need the Canadian one as they can verify it themself. But provide them with every one where you stayed for more than six months since you're 18.

From my knowledge you don't have to submit Canadian police certificate unless otherwise they ask you to submit it.

Did anybody request for GCMS notes recently? Do you know the average waiting time for it?
Normally, feedback period was around 20 - 25 days. I think this is extended now due to COVID-19.

I ordered on March 10, 2020 and so far no response.

Is that the work permit after PGWP? In that case you need also the letter of AOR.

Yes i will be applying for the Employer specific Work permit after PGWP. I have applied for permanent residence in August 2019 and haven't received any response yet for AOR from IRCC. I guess we can attach P.R payment receipt as a proof. In your case you did employer compliance?

Yes, you have to get it. (I have a lawyer who asked me to get it) Missing documents are always delay of your application.

They asked only for the receipt of the payment of my employer, I had a letter also but they didn't take it. You can try to call them but I know that's not very helpful recently, it's a total mess.

I got pre arrival letter last December. Do you see any update on your ECAS.

Pre-arrival letter is not an indication that something will happen soon, it's just a fee to be payed.

Once I waited about 35 days, I guess it depends on the quantity of work they have.

Hello

Yes I did. (inland and applied myself) I requested on May 6th and got it on May 28th. There is no progress at all as per my GCMS notes. Seems like no one has even touched the file. No officer notes at all. Only BG check in progress and RCMP check is NRT.
I have 5 months left in processing time.

Thanks for replying.
That is interesting because I also applied on May 12th, it has been 35 days but no feedback yet.

Hello all,
Has anyone got any update recently? Do you know if they are back to work or not? I've tried to call them several times but couldn't talk to any agent.
Our application is 95% complete. We've passed medical in Dec 2019 and got our pre-arrival in Jan 2020 but nothing happened after. I've also check the ECAS but the latest update is medical received. This long process is so frustrating.

Getting GCMS notes on time is a hit or miss. If you have the request reference no., you can email them and ask. Sometimes they forget.
