    You’re welcome! No, it stays “provided” forever for all documents.

    Do you guys think IRCC is meticulous about the photo requirements? It just sprang to mind that I should measure a few remaining photos identical to those two I’d submitted to VFS last week, and it turned out the black-lined portrait frame is 5x7 cm, but there is still like one extra millimeter...

    At the top of the GCKey page for your PR application, you can find a link to see the documents you’ve submitted. It’ll be a list of the names of the files only, but you can’t download the actual files themselves.

    I hope you do. If you feel anxious, you could request GCMS notes perhaps? I was feeling just like you toward the end of last month what with the radio silence and thought at least knowing that I was going to get any update from the GCMS notes one month later would make me feel better. Then two...

    I really hope you get it within the month, my friend!

    Have you tried calling them? (I don’t think they would respond to a webform enquiry seeing as you’re still within the standard processing times published online.)

    Yep, I had raised a CSE on Friday via the webform to tell them I might not make the deadline because my passport is with the UK visa application center. The tracker showed “We received your enquiry” on Wednesday. I just hope it doesn’t cause them any confusion because I was able to cancel the...

    Don’t worry! Many of our friends here had their eligibility not started until it turned complete overnight the day they got the final decision date. In my case eligibility started and finished within two days, but then background verification stayed in progress for over 55 days. I’d say it’s all...

    So, guys, just to be clear, the tracker (that ircc-tracker-suivi-apps url) and GC Key both continue to show updates regarding passport delivery, stamping and application approval/closure after submission? Is that only for applicants from the USA who send it to Ottawa or is it also the case for...

    Hopefully by next month for you at the most! I know a Sudanese-Egyptian woman who got her parent-supervisa within one week of passport submission at VFS Cairo back in July when their office was crawling with applicants every day. This month the office has no queues whatsoever, so here’s hoping...

    Hello, bro! Nice to see you again! It depends on where you have submitted your passport. If it’s at a VFS Global office outside of Canada and the United States, like VFS Cairo, it’s sent for stamping to the IRCC office designated for that region, which also happens to be at the Embassy in Cairo...

    I am so overjoyed for you, my friend! Safe travels! Just to be sure: This means your documents reached Ottawa on 09/01 or 09/06?

    Congratulations! Please do share your VFS timeline with each update! I submitted my passport on September 19 and today, September 21, it reached the IRCC office in Cairo.

    Hey, thank you so much! I’m not sure. I didn’t get an email from a specific address, just one of those “donotreply” ones, and the request letter PDF within the GCKey account merely said to contact RROC if there’s been any changes to my circumstances. So I suppose that means it has to be my...

    That makes sense. Thank you! Another question, please. I have a bit of a problem now. I had applied for a UK visitor visa to visit my family there and submitted my passport to UKVI (TLScontact) here in Egypt on August 30. Stupid me didn’t think my Canada application would be approved any time...

    Thank you, dear friend! I won’t! Haha! They asked me to include my eye color and height. Do I just write them on a piece of paper or have them typed and printed out?

    Allah yebarek feek ya sadiqi. Inshallah you will follow very soon, too!! That was the PPR email. The email only notified me to open my GCKey account where I found the “Request Letter” in the messages!
