Hello All, Please I need your advice.

I am waiting for PPR, however, my children's passport will expire in July 2021. Should I renew now or we can still use it even though it is less than 6months validity.
 
You eligibility's passed conclusively?

yes,

eligibility: passed
Criminality: in progress
Medical: passed
Info sharing: in progress
 
I received PPR email today. I cant believe the process is completed in 4,5 months in COVID conditions.
Congratulations, what were all the Ghost Updates for in your GCMS?

It's better if you could start the renewal process and send a webform to IRCC with the updated passports and Letter of Explanation. This way you can avoid any processing delays because of this reason.
 
does anyone know how long the security step could last? I have called IRCC last week and they said it hasnt started yet. AOR sept 2

There is no definite number of days for Security. BGC happens in 2 stages 1) Criminality and 2) Security. The duration varies from case to case.
Also If your application has been assigned for Security Screening, it can take up to 18 months for clearance.

Thank you very much.

I didnt have time to go through it in detail but I think the first two is regarding the eligibility evaluation, the third is moving my case to Paris VO, and the final is for initiating my background check.

Per posts in other conversations, Ottawa VO is processing eligibility for Sept 1st week (around Sept 6, 7, 8) for CEC
