Hi @pizzacat I can see the same message again today and it didn't go away. There is no ADR and all documents are green and provided. You can check the screenshot by clicking the link to my Google Drive here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1cdmR5nb_aRbkkma6MMGWGYdB1v7GHHRv

Anyone else noticed this? There was no profile updated, it showed Submitted Read but on clicking check submitted application it showed me this again. Checking from my phone. I am calling it my version of ghost update lol
After reading this, i checked too just now and yes it’s there again. Another thing i noticed, the summary of fees we paid was not there at the bottom. And again no new messages and same status. Not sure if it was a glitch or at different times you just get a different page when you login.

You’re reading too much into this haha!
Anyway, we already ordered gcms notes just for peace of mind because i have worries with my singapore pcc if it was already accepted or if we get into review required for US visa refusal and if our common law proofs are enough already. 2 months already and so far we havent received ADR yet for those. Based on other threads calling an agent and CSE asking about visa office wont really help much. So i guess for us gcms notes is the only way rather than checking our online status seeing the same thing everyday.

You already have your eligibility as MET which involved your work exp, POF. And criminality passed. If you are not in extensive security screening (lets hope not), then you’re almost there. Just wait for PPR.

Makes sense. My husband who is a dependent for this application literally left Singapore 6 days before completing 180 days there. He was a student with 1 semester in Singapore. I was so relieved that it wasn't 180 days otherwise that would have been an additional PCC for us!!! You did the right thing though. If you know you have some concern then it makes sense to order notes. Thanks for the reply.

I was looking at immitracker for Aug -AOR applicants from USA. Not many have received PPR :(
Yeah I have noticed that's why I don't think things are gonna move until December. A lot of October end IP2s have found their application is approved but yet to get PPR so maybe they will get it tomorrow and next week and it might be December first week or second for us

PCC is one of the most common reasons of rejection and the problem with singapore pcc is that they put the date of stay (from date to date). This is problematic if you cant match that in your travel/personal history. Singapore pcc is also not issued for social visits. So the only date in my pcc is only during my pass work was valid even though i visited before and after that period. That was my concern so i added email from spf confirming that coc is not issued for social visits and explanation letter.
You mentioned that it was almost 180 days or 6 months? I read in some threads that cic may request pcc if stay is close to 6 months. So just hope they wont request it to your husband. Because getting it will take so much time especially if you apply outside sg. Mine took more than 1 month and i already asked help from a friend living there to receive it for me.

Thanks for the detailed info. That was definitely helpful. One thing to note you are fine since you have a pcc and you have explained the scenario for social visits so don't worry. In my case we have added exact dates for his stay in every country but it only asked us for country of origin and US PCC for both of us in the document checklist. And we checked on cic website too and 180 days or more is the requirement for PCC. Sometimes people make you panic unnecessarily, unless they ask it's not needed and they will send an ADR if they need it not reject directly. I think they might ask for it if the stay was in a high risk country or if what you were doing in that country for so long is not clear. People never tell you that but those are the reasons why they will ask PCC when you have spent a lot of time but slightly less than 6 months. So far I have cleared Criminality as confirmed by the agents twice when I called and also said nothing else is required from me at the moment, so I should be fine. Besides in personal history he has a clear reason to be in Singapore i.e. education which was a part of his Master's degree program and that is a popular MBA so it's easy to find that by simply googling. Many people who did that MBA have gotten PPR before and didn't need PCC if it was less than 180 days. So both you and I need not worry. All they care about is you being able to justify your presence.

Hello! Shout out to senior members!

I submitted the bank letters according to IRCC guidelines in the EAPR, but not the bank statements for last 6 months. Also, the account of the secondary applicant was only 4 months old at the time of EAPR, but was explained in the LOE.

My question is that would it make sense to raise a CSE & upload bank statements for the last 6 months from now through the web form, in advance? Just to avoid any ADRs and for the convenience of the visa officer?

There is no IP or IP2, this is simply made up thing to reflect your status on the MyCIC account.

All applications go through the following stages as per the Immigration Refugee Protection Act and Regulations (the law under which IRCC processes the applications):

R10
Medicals
Criminality
Eligibility
Security

To read on the stages see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

The status you see in MyCIC is relevant. What mattes is whether you have cleared eligibility and at what stage of the application process if your application at. The only way to know the details is through GCMS notes.

That’s a bit of relief. And at this stage post 2 months it should be okay, right? But we just wanted to make sure so we ordered early for gcms. We can wait longer until early next year but atleast we know our application is okay. With guys posting PPR for sept aor gives us hope.
