@Sam8119 You asked about NAFTA being re-negotiated before the end of the year.

I read that they are now scheduling longer discussion windows (like 10 days out of 14), and scheduling into February 2018.

They are telling you that they have not started processing yet. They started Criminality and Security checks. You can ask your MP, but they will likely tell you that all you can do is wait. They are trying to process all applications from 2016 by the end of the year...

They represent you to the government. If you have trouble with a government office, an MP (or MPP if it's a provincial issue) may be able to help.

Hi @profiler can you please explain the point number two and three from the IRCC response. I dont understand I have already received AOR and OWP last year within 4 months. I also got Police certificate request in May and the agent+IVR told me my medical result is successful and I do not require Interview plus finger print (from IVR).

Just because you send a file in, doesn't mean you meet the eligibility requirements for the program you applied for. They have to review your eligibility. When you pass this stage, you will get AIP.

AOR is literally that. They have received the file. There is enough paperwork to create a file (meaning it's not rejected for missing a birth certificate or something).

OWP only means that you have an inland PR on file, you have a status (visitor), and you applied to be able to work (which was granted based on points 1, 2, and 3 on this sentence). That's literally all that means.

The PCC request in May, might have been a fluke -- they send out batch emails twice a year to remind people, in case they have not yet submitted them, to submit them.

Nothing sounds out of ordinary here to me.

Congrats, a landing. That was likely the officer processing your case, and they are trying to help you avoid having to redo the medical.

Check ECAS in the morning. You'll likely find they status has changed.

@carolbb23 had something similar with a passport.

Hey @profiler, i checked ECAS this morning, and as you said, the status was changed to DM for both of us, no changes on MyCIC though. Next step is to wait for official email
