Hello guys!

We reapplied last May 6, 2022
Biometrics - reflected from prev application(got refused last March)
Medical passed May 31, 2022
Reviewing Eligibility - May 31, 2022
Ghost Update for us(Family of 3) - June 15, 2022

Suddenly, the background check of my SOWP changed to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". It was "We are processing your background check..." before after biometrics reflected and medical passed.

After days of contacting the Manila visa office for follow-up, I received a reply and they told me that Qatar PCC of OWP is pending. I didn't receive any Request Letter since Reviewing Eligibility. Also, I already attached his Qatar PCC on his client info application.

Any idea how long until PPR? I already requested GCMS from IRCC and CBSA . Requested IRCC last June 14, still not received until now. CBSA will be by August 21

I am very anxious and depressed about our application. Are there any chances that we will still be refused at this stage??? Please help!!! :confused:

Thank you!

I have the same problem, my Background Check used to be 'We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information ', and it changed to 'Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check' today.

Any update for you?

Thank you very much

No, still the same until now. However, we got our GCMS notes from CBSA and all assessments passed already. Patiently waiting for PPR.

Is it also an Open Work Permit application for you? Do you have any pending police clearance abroad?

Thanks for the reply.

No, I applied for a work permit with LMIA, I don't have any pending police clearance abroad.
