>>>What about After nomination for July/August Applicants <<<

[anwar01]

@anwar01 I also found the Internal Audit Report of CPC-O dated 13th October 2016 to support my second point of the number of workforce in NS, Sydney. You can find the report below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/audit/case-processing-centre-ottawa.asp

It doesn't specifically speaks about the number of employees in CPC, Sydney, NS but here is an extract from the report which is of interest:

"The Ottawa Case Processing Centre (CPC-O) was established in 2010 as a pilot to support Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) modernization agenda, and became permanent in January 2014. It has supported the roll out of several key priority initiatives such as implementing the Global Case Management System, restructuring the North American immigration program delivery network, assisting with application backlog reduction, and implementing Express Entry.
CPC-O is the largest visa office in the IRCC global visa processing network and processes applications primarily from North America, and also applications submitted at Canadian visa offices or Visa Application Centres overseas.

The Director responsible for CPC-O operations is supported by three managers: a Modernization Manager; an Operational Support Manager; and, a Permanent Residents Operations Manager.

As of October 2015, CPC-O had 211 employees – five percent were permanent CPC-O employees, eight percent were students, nine percent were IRCC permanent employees working at CPC-O on short-term assignments, and 78 percent were term and/or casual employees. CPC-O officials have developed a human resources strategy to stabilize their workforce by hiring more permanent staff."

So here we can see that the number of workforce is huge as per the report which in turn means that the workforce in Sydney office is low as compared to CPC-O.

Hope this will further clarify the point that why CPC-Sydney, NS takes more time for PNP applicants.

All the best!!

Thanks for sharing it. Please also share the link where you found out about application processing of PNP is done in CPC-Sydney, NS.

@anwar01
How r ya Bro...after exactly how many days u got ur Medical Passed?

Did any one here on teh thread from August /Sept. Applicants got status changes ? If yes kindly share Post nomination time lines...

Mine was passed after 29 days of AOR. What about yours? You submitted eAPR or still collecting documents?

Only Medical Passed status has some significance as it tells you that your R10 check has been completed and your application is entered in GCMS system for processing. So incompleteness rejection chances will become almost negligible after Medical Passed status. After that Background status change do not tell you anything specific about which stage your application is at. Best thing is to order GCMS notes (If not received PPR) after 3 months from Medical Passed status to see what stage your application is stuck.

Yes, good luck to us all and hopefully we'll all get there 1st half of 2018.

Hope for the best..

I think stick to this thread for updates. Its hard to gather people on a thread other then the dedicated members. Do invite other OINP nominated people to this thread.

I Agree with you @anwar01

I submitted my eAPR on the 21 st of Sept. Bro....

Still waiting for a positive status Change ...

Now regarding this GCMS .. what is the process of ordering such notes ?and what is it exactly ?

 

[itishnitsa]

I am moving in a few weeks and can't figure out how to change the address with CIC. I'm expecting to pass Medical this week or next. Do I also need to update address with OINP even though I already have a nomination?

 

[itishnitsa]

We should have an AOR thread for PNP. seems the pnp and fsw are in one thread which makes pnp guys envious of fsw's timeline. I wish someday soon they are processed in similar timelines!

Someone already started one for Sept and Oct PNP AOR - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pnp-pr-september-october-2017-applicants-lets-connect-here.521947/

You can expect your Medical Passed status by end of 3rd week of October or start of 4th week.

Global Case Management System (GCMS) contains all the information of our case processing and notes of Case officer. These notes are quite in details (More then 100 pages sometimes) and will let you know which stages you have passed and where your application is stuck. Additionally it will tell you any concern of Case officer on your application. Only Canadian resident can order GCMS notes, you can find a lot of websites who offer to get GCMS notes on your behalf against which they charge some fees.

You can have more information on GCMS notes from the following thread.

Finally submitted! The LOE placeholder disappeared on me! Took me about 5 logout and logging backin with clearing of cache and cookies in between to get it back.

Now I have to start understanding the statuses for this as it is quite confusing.

Good luck to all of us! Hoping it will take no more than 6 months and that they really will make processing times 4-6 months.

Congrats! Your 1st status change would be Medicals Passed usually almost 4 weeks after AOR. Hang tight, its a long journey!

Submitted my application finally on the 10th of October. What should I expect next?
Plan on trying to learn a new skill that could help me settle better in Canada and will also allow me to stay busy (though I already have tons of office work) and not think about my status.

Great! Your 1st status change would be Medical passed within a month time. Some candidates get ADR before medical passed status. Lets see which path your application take.

Yes, better to equip yourself with the right skill before getting PR. Make sure to do a little online research in Ontario in your field to get better knowledge of the Ontario Market.

Looks like we got some more folks to ride together.
Sit tight.. and best of luck..
