Hi everyone! I received this message today. Does that mean I got approved?

"We are pleased to advise you that the processing of your application has been completed. The
IRCC office in Etobicoke will contact you regarding the finalization of your permanent resident
application."
Congratulations

I mean it’s an immigration system not a jackpot lottery. I’m sure they are waiting for some verification regarding your background check. Like @PrinceH case for example, waiting for UAE PCC.
My wonder is not for waiting to verify my application, it’s why should it takes 26 months + especially they been informed about UAE PC situation since July 2019 = 18 months .. any way I have to wait, that’s all I can do!

Yes of course when it comes to the background check everyone is different.

Congratulation bro. All the best with getting your pr card soon.

Since you've been through the process I wanted to ask you a question. When you check the status of your pr application and it says (1. We received your Application on (XX) 2. We started processing your application on (XX) 3. Medical was received). What comes next? and how far is process at that point?

It depends on when you applied, from what you put looks like you are after Sep 2019 applicant. If yes then just wait.
If your bar is about to complete then this good sign.

also what comes next varies, they might request additional things like bio, medical, the police reports, resume etc. or nothing at all like for my case and few others. they will contact you via mail or email if they need anything.

Hi. MANY THANKS for the prompt response. Yea I just wanted to know what steps I should expect after (Medical received). Does Security/Criminality check comes after that? And once that's done, do I get notified that I'm eligible to apply for the pr as a convention refugee?? I'm not very familiar of the each step and their order. And how long I've got left until the entire process might finish isn't what I'm concerned about right now.

Thanks a lot for the clarification. It's highly appreciated. Just as I've mentioned in my response before this, I'm unfamiliar with what the steps are and in what order do they come! But as you've mentioned, not everyone is the same and it varies from one person to the other. I just wanted to know what would come after the (Medical Received) update but I guess it will depend on my case.

No Idea, probably request the notes or call IRCC to find out in details it doesn't tell you when background/ criminality is reviewed like the medical ghost update. they do sometimes send the AIP which is the email that stated you have passed eligibility.

It confused me because I'm not entirely sure if that update actually means that the Medical they've got is up to date or if I'll need to go for it again? Like you've mentioned it could be a "ghost update". I'm using the online tool of the IRCC website to see these updates though.

I guess I'll just have to wait until next year and then order the gcms notes. It's best I give it sometime before I order them.

when you posted suggests they have your medical but haven't reviewed it as yet. if they need a new one you will get an email directly I believe.
