Hello There ,
My status changed to decision made on 2nd Jan 2020 and till I didn’t receive any request for Passport , my authorized immigration consultant already sent an inquiry to CIC about my status but still no reply , how long it u
Hello Miladb,

Can you please share your status now? Did you receive the passport request? Mine was changed to Decision made on 30th April and no updates after that. Thank You.
Hello there,
Have you got the PPR ?
If yes, how can you share what actually happened in your case.

Even my status changed to Decision made 10 days(approx.) ago, and I got a Pre arrival letter. I don't know how much time will it that take to get PPR .
Thank you.

It varies quite a bit, as there are factors such as whether all background checks (criminal, security) are complete and other factors. Often fairly quickly (within a month or two), but can be longer.

Notably: right now SOME of the variance seems to be whether the applicant is in a country where IRCC/Embassy/visa application centres actually have process to receive and stamp passports. (I think this is more countries than just a couple of months ago, BUT there is also a backlog in some places)

Let's hope for best.
The problem in my case is the representative who is taking care of my application on behalf of me.
So they are not giving me the access to my account. I can only use Ecas to view and there it's displaying as Decision made. Also they sent me the.pre arrival letter.

You may not see much more in gckey (at least in terms of useful information) than in ecas. Our gckey showed no changes whatsoever between the pre-arrival and actually getting the copr/visas issued - none.

Except for in the correspondence section, of course - but we got all the correspondence by email as well, so it wasn't unique info.

Yeah but the mail is also first received by them and then it's forwarded to me. They may forget the important mail sometimes due to workload or whatsoever reasons.

Hi guys,

My wife's sponsorship application status changed to DM last week but she didn't get PPR, she sent an email to visa office about it and they answered:
"Please be advised that this file has been preliminarily assessed and is currently in the queue for the secondary review."
Can you please tell what does this means? and how long it takes for second review?

Thank you so much.

If it was her sponsorship application, you should not expect PPR but sponsor approval. These seem to have been less consistent lately, may get biometric and medical directly instead of sponsor approval.

Thank you for your reply,
I’m sponsoring her and I got eligibility approve email about her last year, she passed biometric and medical as well.
I’m worried about it.

So you got DM last week but are concerned you haven't received PPR yet?

One week or even three or four not unusual. Did you get pre-arrival?

Usually nothing to worry about, just takes some time.

Yes she got Dm last week and received her pre-arrival about one month ago, but I can’t understand what is second review which they mentioned in their email, When they changed her file status to DM.
