I am inland and waiting so the problem is not for outlands or due to Covid. I am exhausted of checking my emails or cic account everyday. I echo the way they process applicants are randomly without any structure as we see Jan and Feb are receiving Copr and we are still at the back of this long lasting red line. Calling them or emailing them are not working. I am hopeless as no one can hear our voice.

I agree. I don't understand why it would take this long for inland applicant unless you are under security screening.

AOR Received - September 14, 2019

Biometrics Letter - October 1, 2019
Biometrics Passed - October 15, 2019

And finally,
Passport Request Letter - January 9, 2020
IRCC sent me a notice saying I should submit my passport along with two photographs so that a PR visa can be applied to. Yay. I'm guessing this means my PR application has been approved.

Anyone know how long IRCC usually takes to return the passport along with the COPR?

When did you apply in the express entry pool?

Hi
My baby was born just exactly 4 days before receiving PP Request.
I informed in the 1st week of Feb about the situation along with his birth certificate and also waited for their response.
I received a response to my web inquiry after receiving my COPR documents stating that I cannot use the old COPR papers and they are reopening my case again! I was also informed to submit some additional documents some forms, birth certificates, passport, medicals.
In recent days, I found 2 ghost updates in my portal.
Ghost Update#1 - My child's name is added to my dependents list.
Ghost Update#2 - not found any specific change in my portal/ received any email.
Any idea about how long will it take from here onwards ..?

Details:
Express Entry
FSW program

Hello everyone,



My partner’s passport is expiring on September 2021. We received our GCMS notes last November and it said that the final assessment is “approved” but the application is still “open” and “in progress.” We also saw our COPR details in the GCMS notes. The COPR expiry date in the GCMS note is on March 17, 2021. Unfortunately, we haven’t received the passport request yet and, with everything that’s going on, we don’t know when we’ll receive the passport request. It might come to the point when the PPR comes when her passport has less than 6 months of validity. We really don’t want to delay the process any more than necessary and are unsure of what to do.



We see several options:

1. Wait until May/June (passport renewal in our country takes about 1 month) before renewing passport and pray that PPR comes before that. This is the riskiest. And will the IRCC grant the PR visa if the passport has less than 6 months validity?
2. Wait until after March 17 (COPR expiry) before renewing passport. We would have enough time to process the passport renewal and the COPR will need to be renewed anyway.
3. Renew the passport ASAP and inform IRCC. Obviously, this the most responsible option but it might delay the application even more. We already have COPR details so we fear that updating the passport details will delay the PPR. We also don’t know when we should inform IRCC of the changes. Should we inform the. while the passport renewal is in process or once we get the new passport?

And, currently, how long is the processing time when you submit your passport until the time that you get it back?



Tagging @legalfalcon and @caipsnotes , I hope that you can help shed some light on our dilemma. Thank you very much!

The third option is the best. Once you renew the passport, update cic with the details and get the visa stamped on the new passport. You can inform IRCC when your new passport is issued. If IRCC sends you a passport request in between, you may update them with the confirmation letter and other applicable docs that your new passport re-issuance is in progress.

Hi Guys, really need your help. Ordered GCMS notes and status has been on Eligibility recommend passed since February. There are no pending queries and everything else from Analyst comments appears ok. Any advice how to move the file forward?

Same here.. no updates since February
AOR November 2019.. federal skilled trade
May I know your program/ stream?
Thanks

@legalfalcon , So ,been thinking, should I order a fresh set of notes? The last ones pretty clearly said approved but nothing yet,
Also if I can trouble you for a bit, could you tell me what this means?

FINALIZE Application
Document Isuuence: 1
created by: C2082
Document: Counterfoil
status: not started
valid t: 2020/08/28

Then there is Copr, created on 2020/04/16 by c2082, but I haven't received any thing and there has been no revert to any webform, twice I wrote to them, and once a general enquiry, which came back that I should contact my visa office. you think asking for another set of notes will change anything, or patience is the word.

Ideally you should renew the PP if you can get it done as per the norms in your country of citizenship. Renewing the PP does not delay the application. or has any impact on the processing.

Once you get the renewed PP, send a scan of the biographical pages of the PP to IRCC via webform.

If the GCMS notes say approved, there is no benefit on requesting another one. IRCC has put a lot of applications on hold because even if they send the PPR, you may not be able to travel due to the travel restrictions.

So you will just have to wait.
