Hi AK84:
I share almost the same timeline and condition with you. I ain't any expert but I found "you may only have one application to PR at one time". My understanding is to apply PR with PNP letter, one has to submit everything with it, including police cerificate, personal history etc etc.
Apprently these things were already submitted to CIC with CEC application.
Therefore I think the way to apply with PNP is either got rejected from CEC, or withdraw from CEC. I ain't expert so if some SME could confirm/clarify my findings would be the most helpful.
Perhaps also consider to apply for an extension to the PNP nomination expiry, if such extension has any chance to be granted?
You can apply to as many programs as you want, but only once to each program at a time. For example you can apply to CEC, PNP, FSW and Family Class at the same time and withdraw the other applications when one of them is approved. The only bad thing is that you'll lose your money if the cheque has been cashed or the credit card charged.

So looking at August trends..
What do you think will be the time/month for us to receive our Medicals?
My guess would be end of September. It has almost become a ritual for me - Logging into the August tracker for my daily dose of disappointment..

Is there really a trend?

I am a March 2014 applicant. GCMS shows file is to be reviewed by an officer. Folks who had a second review after me have got their review done and landed as PR too.

Below are my details:

Category........: CEC
Visa Office......: CPP-O
NOC Code......: 1226/0112
App. Filed.......: 10-03-2014
AOR Received.: 28-03-2014
IELTS Request: Sent with Application
Med's Request: Upfront
RPRF: Upfront
Passport Req..: Waiting

Following is the excerpt from the GCMS notes I received in July 2015.

I have analysed this application based upon the documents submitted by the applicant and the information contained in the file and make the following recommendation. FOSS/GCMS check:-No adverse info. Principal applicant currently holds valid status in Canada. CIVIL STATUS:- PA never married – NO Spouse or Common Law declared – PA Copy of Passport on File: Yes. WORK EXPERIENCE: CEC qualifying period is: 10MAR2011 to 09MAR2014 Dates of authorized work experience – within ‘Qualifying Period' – in a skill level 0, A or B occupation: 23JUL2012 to 23JUL2015 Category of work permit: PGWP Post-secondary studies in Canada: University According to schedule 8: Work Experience 1:24Jul2012 27SEP2013, NOC:1226 selected, FULL time SENIOR SALES EXECUTIVE with XXXXX. Employment letter(s) dated UNDATED confirm(s) date(s) of employment, position title and a salary of $ @ @ k per year. LOE/Supporting Docs do NOT appear to match lead statement and/or a substantial number of main duties under NOC code selected. A NOA from 2012 show(s) reported earnings of $11.7K. Web-based search conducted – Online information verified. LANGUAGE: IELTS submitted- Applicant meets benchmarks for work experience at this skill level: A. CRIMINALITY: PA:-RCMP Screening: No reportable trace. Police Certificates:- India: No reportable trace. RECCOMMENDATION: REVIEW REQUIRED BY OFFICER.

Basically, I worked in a NOC B category for the period July 2012 - September 2013, and then NOC A category from September 2013 - till date. While I submitted my most recent job experience letter (completed a year under NOC code 1112 in September 2014) in December 2014, will the CIC consider my latest job experience or the the one under which I applied? I had mentioned at the time of applying that I had completed six months with my present employer (NOC Code: 1112).

My previous employer is not very forthcoming in giving a detailed job description and I guess that is where I am stuck...

When my wife got pregnant last October, I was very happy, but of course I knew that we would have to postpone the medical exam (because of the xrays) until my child's birth. I thought our pr application was going to get delayed by months. Haha Obviously I was wrong, as we never received the MR and my child is already born.

It makes me laugh to think that you can totally fit a whole pregnancy between sending the application and getting the medical request.

My address has been updated over the weekend!

I sent the email for address change in Feb, before I sent my upfront med results and others docs.

Anyway, something.. at least. Tells they are picking up emails for pour applications.

Hi all,

I've applied for CEC in sept 2014 and receive the AOR in Feb 2015. Used the AOR for my BOWP as well (just approved).

I have an inviation for EE. Should i apply for PR through EE? I understand that it's another set of fees altogether.. and was told by CIC that i could have two concurrent applications running (or is this wrong?).. Question is should i apply through EE or wait out?

Thanks in advance!

Personally, I would go ahead with EE. The old CEC process is taking a long time. I believe if you apply through EE, you would get your PR early already while we would still be receiving MR's.

Hello guys, am a September 2014 applicant and waiting for my Medical Request as well. Does it make sense to do an upfront medical before the request? If so, how?

Please let me know.
