It is a mandate for PNP applicants. I didnt knew at the time of filing my case so they may request the same now.

Question guys !!!

Has anybody seen this pattern like BG goes from Not Started to in progress and then PPR ??

I know the usual instance is as below -:
Not like Not needed at this > Not Started > Not needed at this time > In progress > PPR

In India, when your employer files for temporary work permit as per the current processing time it would take around 12 weeks (3 months). During this process you would not require to submit any passport. Later when your work permit is approved, your employer or third party would forward you the work permit approval letter.

Now at this stage, the next process is to apply for Temporary resident Visa ( This is required to enter Canada each time)
So your employer now submits a new package to the Visa office (Work permit approval letter, upfront medicals, TRV application forms, passport, Canada visa photos and other supporting documents) Only during this stage you would be submitting your passport to the visa office. The current processing time for this TRV stage is 27 days from India.
Hence your passport would not be with the visa office not more than 4 weeks.

Please note: While coming to Canada, you need to carry the Work permit Approval letter issued earlier as the officer at the port of entry issues the original hard copy of the work permit on basis of this approval letter.
Is the processing procedure for ICT changed now to that of what was there in 2012. Because, when my employer first filed my ICT in 2012, the immigration group of my company asked to submit all filled applications, medical plus passport. Then they sent the whole package to NDVO. I got visa in 2 weeks and at the port of entry got work permit. Is it not the processing procedure now?

Correct. Write a letter in plain paper, sign and scan it. Give supporting documents with LOE as the first page. Hope this helps.

It is necessary only for PNP applicants who will go through paper based applications (depends of the province). If you apply through Express Entry (online), I believe you won't need it.

Quoting CIC website:

"New: If your nomination is through an Express Entry stream, you must apply through the online system. This application package (which include Schedule 4) is only for people applying to the Provincial Nominee Class through the paper-based (non-Express Entry) process. Find out about how to apply through Express Entry.

My medical status changed to "Passed" today (Dec 12). My AOR is Nov 14. Also "No additional documents are needed at this time" for "Review of submitted document". Previously, it was just blank.

Background check is now "Not Started".

As I finished posting the above message, CIC email came in with "Your application has been updated" message.
