Hi Guys, did any of you apply with an affidavit instead of parent's marriage certificate on 2016? Could you confirm if it got accepted? I'm prepping to apply in 2017. Thanks!

Thanks! Do you mean your parents got approved within 1 year? I thought the processing time was a few years.

Also, any chance you have a template of the affidavit you used? Much appreciated.

If you had already submitted the requested documents then it will show blank. It seems like if you link your application in MyCIC after submitting the documents the 'Review of Submitted Docs' shows blank. I have the same.
Thank you very much.

How long does it take usually to get PPR after Medicals/PCC/RPRF? Any rough idea?

I just checked MyCIC and the background check is in progress now!
I don't know when it was updated. The last time I logged in was 4 days ago.
Last time, I received an email that there was an update on MyCIC and found out that the medical passed when I logged in.
This time, I didn't received any update email. It's a good thing I checked today. It still shows "We need additional documents" for "Review of submitted documents" section. I hope it doesn't mean anything.

Anyway, I hope I can get PPR soon! :)

I also hope everyone here who's waiting for any updates can hear good news soon!

Have a good weekend, guys!
I have the same status now. The "Background Check" is " In Process" since Nov. 24. My LVO is also Ottawa. Do we have any statistics on how long will it usually take from here to get the PPR from Ottawa?

After how many days the "Background Check" was updated as "In Process", when did you email the PCC, RPRF, & medicals sent from hospital?

I submitted the CSQs and PCCs through MyCIC on Nov. 1. Then, I decided to email them one more time on Nov. 7. The status changed to Background Check In Process on Nov. 24.

No reply from CIC. However, I tried checking my ECAS using the RPRF receipt number and it worked. So, I had this clue that at the very least, the RPRF payment was recorded in our application.

My timeline is kinda same. I am hoping to see some movement in a week on two in the app status.

my timeframe is similar to you, however I got a request for additional information about "details of military service" since my father was a marine officer :(

I have to fill in all his details with dates and details so I guess it will take me more time to pass by the background check :(

good luck guys and hopefully you will get your ppr soon :):):)

and wish me luck

good luck for your new documentation, however, if the dates and things are clear and precise, CIC is not going to take more time.
so c u soon, back in race
