congratulations, how long did the VFS take to return you the stamped passport?
You still have to send the other stuff required, but with a photocopy of the bio data page of your passport.
Hey everyone, its finally our PPR! We got the message on our profile on Aug 4th. It is still taking time to sink in, but truly happy and relieved that the wait is over. When we got a PFL etc the chance of rejection was a big fear for us. By Gods grace, we were able to keep our heads together, took legal counsel and looks like everything worked out! Special thanks to this community which has been a big support system for us and also to @legalfalcon for his help with queries.

I posted many times before about the PPR updates of other people, but today I have some news regarding my own application... my visa is finally here. I am providing some detailed information below:
- AOR: February 19, 2021
- Remed, PCC and Schedule A request letters: May 26, 2021 (Background check was 'We are processing...', which had been the status for a long time)
- Documents submitted: June 22, 2022 (Review of additional documents changed to 'Not Applicable' and Background check changed to 'Your application is in progress') [after a few days, Background check changed back to 'We are processing...']
- PPR Letter: June 28, 2022 (Review of additional documents changed to 'June 28, 2022 - We are reviewing the additional documents you provided' and it still says the same to this date)
- Passports submitted to VFS: July 17, 2022 (which reached the Singapore IRCC Office on July 21)
- Notified by VFS that the decision envelope has been couriered: August 2, 2022 (checked my account and saw that my application was approved on the same date and counterfoil (the visa stamp) details were added) [interestingly, Background check changed to 'June 24, 2022 - Your background check was completed', which means it was completed just 2 days after I submitted the ADRs]
- I received the decision envelope on August 8, 2022 [cannot describe how it felt to finally see the visa...]

The Start Of The Dream
It was one of the most hectic, depressing, and emotional experience in my life. I started the Canada dream while I was on a visit to Dubai back in February 2018. I never knew there were skilled PR programs for Canada before this visit. I knew about Australia PR since 2013, but really started on it because I didn't have someone or awesome forum like here to guide me. In addition, my country of residence didn't and still doesn't have language test center.
Finding Consultant and Canada Visa Forum
In February 2018, due to my extremely free time in Dubai, one night I searched for high rated, reliable consultant agent/company. Luckily, I found DM Immigration Consultant. I only paid for some further consulting hours but didn’t for the application management. I found this forum via google around the time of dealing with them and found this community very helpful and
IELTS Journey
I started preparing for IELTS and contacted my University to send my degree and diploma to Canada. Since I qualified for Two or More certifications category and invite CRS was around 430s back then, the only thing between me and the dream was scoring high IELTS. This is when the nightmare started!
Between March 2018 to November 2018 I gave IELTS SEVEN TIMES with TWO remark requests. I got stuck with freaking writing section scoring 6.5. It hurt every way possible to the point I cried after an exam because, after traveling overseas just to give the exam, I messed up the listening and, subsequently, got extremely sad, emotional for the rest of the sections. On the seventh exam, I did something different - I opted for the computer exam version while on a work training in Malaysia. I felt confident to finally done with it but got shocked as I scored 8.5,8,7.5,6.5 (LRSW) AGAIN. I immediately requested for a remark.
10 days later, on a fine Friday afternoon mid November 2018, I checked if the result came out and was overjoyed, overwhelmed to find the writing increased to 7. Hurrayy.. Finally done with the embarrassing nightmare. A week later got the remarked IELTS document and updated my profile: CRS 444 with two accompanying dependents.
ITA & My First Application
Those days, having CRS above 440 was a guarantee ITA, hence it was not surprising when I got the invite in the next draw in December 2018. Submitted the full application on 27th Feb 2019.
After one month a half, we passed the medical but didn't get the Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL). We waited, waited, and when waited some more.
Sadly, on the second day of Eid in June 2019, our application was rejected due to incompleteness. Apparently, IRCC does not accept Somali passport as a valid travel document. I had a dual citizenships (Somali & Djibouti), but my two dependents had the Somali only. I didn't know this issue despite my extensive research during my IELTS struggles. I appealed and pleaded with them to give me time to apply the second nationality for my daughter and wife, but they rejected it.
By this time, CRS invite was around high 460s which meant we wouldn't get invited without a miracle. I didn't wait for a miracle, so, after some research and asking & getting the nod from IRCC on Twitter if I can make my dependents as Non-accompanying, I changed it and my CRS shot to 471. Got invited on the next draw and submitted the second application on 26th September 2019.
My Second ITA & Application
One month after submitting my application on 26 Sep 2019, I received both medical pass and BIL. Three days later, I received RPRF request and paid on the same day. My application was then transferred to Nairobi VO.
7th Jan 2020, I received ADR requesting to pay biometric fee, but it didn't specify for whom. I already paid and gave biometric for myself, and my wife was non-accompanying so didn't receive BIL when I received since non-accompanying adults don't require biometrics. So, I thought. I shared with them my biometric payment receipt which I received when I first launched the application. Little did I know that they wanted for my wife.
On 20th Jan 2020, we received remedical requests for all us. We gave it one week later and passed mid February. Unfortunately, the pandemic started on 18th March 2020 for Canada and they went into hibernation.
May 2020, I received the GCMS and found out the ADR biometric payment receipt request which I received 5 months prior was for my wife. I paid it immediately shared with them the receipt. However, they were working on emergency applications only and didn't receive any response from them till I started sending them frequent emails requesting BIL for my spouse. Thankfully, we received it on 8th Oct 2020 and my wife gave within the same month.
Since outland skilled applications were not prioritized during the pandemic, the wait took its toll and couldn't concentrate anything.
Finally, 1 year and a half later since their last request, on 27th Jan 2022, we received remedical request for all of us. We passed on 25th March 2022. It took another four agonizing months to receive the GREAT news, PPR, on 18th July 2022. The torture was done. The dream came.
Sorry for the LONG, LONG post. I had to share it. Thank you everyone on this forum. I couldn't have done it without this community. I pray for your success. All the best.

Finally PPR for me!!!!! I’m ecstatic!
My timeline below:
PNP-O
Location: Philippines
September 2020: IELTS - Band 8
October 2020: Submitted EOI to IRCC
November 2020: Knew I lacked the needed points to be drawn so tried my luck at PnP. Submitted EOIs to provinces.
December 2020: NB replied to my EOI
January 2021: Got confirmation that I got the NB provincial nomination.
February 02, 2021: My AOR to IRCC
February 17, 2021: Medical passed
Long silence. Got some ghost updates but did not lead to anything.
January 2022: Got Covid but it was mild for me
February 03, 2022: Received request for Re-Medical
February 16, 2022: Went for Re-Medical but RT-PCR was required and I still was showing as Covid positive. Was required to go on 7 days quarantine.
February 23, 2022: Completed Re-Medical but they asked for additional tests for TB. This frustrated me a lot since the TB tests would take 2 months to complete and another 1 month for the follow up chest xray. I guess this was due to Covid looking the same as TB in an xray. I went awol from this forum since it was not good for my mental health reading all those posts of others receiving their PPR already.
May 23, 2022: Completed follow up chest xray and TB tests all came out as negative. Re-Medical finally completed.
June 07, 2022: Panel Physician confirms that all my re-medical results have been submitted to IRCC.
July 22, 2022: Re-Medical now showing as passed.
August 17, 2022: Finally PPR!
