Hello guys. I have a couple of questions. I requested ATIP back in March before I got my test invite in April and I just got the report today. It says:

Type: Eligibility - Knowledge
Status: Passed
Status Date: 2021/04/20
Updated Date: 2021/04/20 15:17:38

I took the test on April 20 at around 01:00:00 or 1 am. The notes say that the status was updated at 3:17pm on that same date.

Does this mean that someone has reviewed my results and confirmed that I have passed? If yes, it was within 14 hours? Wow. That was fast.

Also, in the Assessments, it says:

Residence: Not Started
Language: Not Started
Prohibition: In Progress
Criminality: Passed

Based on this, any estimation/idea of how long it will take for Decision Made? My office is Scarborough.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

So looks like you have passed your test and knowledge eligibility is met.
How long it will take from here is really anyone's guess at this point. If you are the luck draw winner, you will get it within weeks or it could be months.

I am surprised they did knowledge before the other stages, I thought they did knowledge in the end before interview and decision made, so that if there is any eligibility not met in any other stages, then you didn't sit for the exam for nothing.

So I guess you wait and watch now what happens next. Congrats on the progress so far!

So I successfully entered Canada via a land border skipping the 3-day hotel quarantine.
Did you fly to US first and go to Canada border? Or you were already in states?

I am also thinking of going back to Canada but you know this 3 day thing is a bit annoying. Please share your experience, thank you.

I flew to Buffalo and then took a cab from the airport to Toronto, which will run you 250 USD.
