Looks like my prediction of more waiting is wrong. At lunch hour today i received Ready for Visa (PPR) email. It's a relief, considering for something I wanted for so long, and at a tiny moment it is done. However I am not pleased at all for all the delays; I expected my PR a very long time ago. After all, this is my 12nd year in Canada and 3rd year since I first started to prepare for applying PR.
Outlining again my application details for those who'd like to see:
Old CEC received by CIC: 2014-09-24
AOR: 2015-02-04
RCMP request: 2015-03-31
(Upfront Medical, didn't email CIC until MR)
(Upfront RPRF)
MR: 2016-03-06
ECAS medical received: 2016-03-14
PPR: 2016-04-06
DM: no DM on ECAS yet
Summary:
- My ECAS only have 3 lines till date: package received, AOR and medical received.
- After medical check, CIC didn't ask for additional docs such as 2nd PCC, RCMP, T4/NOA. I didn't travel outside of Canada or USA since the date of application filed.
- My representative made numerous mistakes on my files including wrong client ID and gaps in personal history, but it looked like VO had let them go and didn't delay my case further.
- Processing time had passed 18 months, but till now it's less than 19 months.
