    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    I am sorry I can't answer your question, but changing the topic a little: what is your Visa Office? When you first submitted your passport, what estimate did they give you? 30 days?

    I have heard of some people having the exact same problem you have. First, try to look for a thread in the forum about this topic, I've heard there is one for people in your situation (but I don't know the name). Second, e-mail them, although I am unsure if they will respond you. Third, look for...

    You are welcome! :) I would keep this money no matter what. Some people recommend it to be over the LICO, even if it's less than what you said you had at the time of the application. Although this should be fine, I am extremely conservative (and kind of insecure too), so I prefer not to touch...

    I guess it depends on the VO. For instance, my VO is São Paulo and they say 30 days, but it might take less, like 15... VAC (or your vendor) should give a more precise estimate for you.

    Hi, at the current pace, expect the Passport Request (PPR) by mid-October, at least (with a high chance for this to happen in November). Many cases are going beyond 6 months CURRENTLY, so consider this scenario. When you have your PPR, the ideal is to verify with your visa office up to when the...

    I have noticed that in cases where your BG is updated at the end, you receive the PPR between 15-20 days after your BG went to "in progress". Most likely you will receive the PPR until the end of this week (max. early next week).

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    @To those who already received the PPR: has your status on MyCIC changed? Or is it still "BGC - In Progress" and "Final Decision - Not Started Yet"?

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    Friends, Just an update - I have just called CIC and the agent, very kind by the way, confirmed me that my process is completed and everything is ok. Now I just need to wait for the PPR in the coming days. Just like LUA, this has been consuming me miserably, reaching a worse scale every day in...

    Yes, I agree with you. In theory, this strike shouldn't affect outlanders. Besides, IRCC can use other options like Purolator.

    Indeed! I think the worst part of this waiting is when you start wondering if there is something wrong with you app, the fear of rejection, you seeing other people getting their PPRs and you don't, etc.
