Does anyone know about it?
Criminality check: Your police certificate, RCMP, and Interpol being asked if you've committed crimes.
Security check: Asking Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and their allies if they believe you're involved with extremists, terrorists, etc.
Approved in principle / Approval in principle (AIP): Your application is “approved in principle (AIP)” if:
  • you have received a letter from IRCC stating that you meet the permanent residence eligibility requirements, but
  • you still have to pass the medical, security and background checks for you and, if needed, your family members.

Hi Yassam, any idea how long it may get to COPR after DM?
No idea. I called IRCC this morning and asked the agent if she can estimate, and she said, that would be a lie - just wait! Some people get it sooner, others have to wait a little bit longer! I will update you once I get something!

Hello everyone, I haven't had any success getting through to an agent. If you have, please can you share the options you selected? Thank you.

I'm June 2019. Heard nothing still from immigration. I see a lot of Julys and Augusts...even Septembers 2019 getting DM. Could this have anything to do with people working in essential services during this pandemic?
