I'm waiting for DM2. Pre-arrival services letter and 2nd medical received in April. Medical passed in April. There was a ghost update last week, but nothing after that. Today, I received the following email addressed by name:

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) would like you to participate in a survey about your recent experience with your IRCC Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) application.

We would like to get your thoughts on your recently refused Temporary Resident Visa (Visitor Visa) application and the explanation provided in the Refusal Letter.


I never applied for any TRV nor did I receive any Refusal Letter. Did anyone else get such an email?
Just got another email that the previous email was sent in error.

Hi, does anyone know if new PR parents are allowed to apply for GST HST credit? Does applying have any bearing on sponsor's financial obligations (10 years duration)?
 
Hello guys...do i need to provide original police clearance certificate from india for my parents? If yes then how do i do that?
 
Hello guys...my parents got asked to provide Police clearance..my mother was in canada on super visa for almost a year and it says you have to provide police clearance from all countries where residence was more than 6 months...does that mean i have to get her PCC from canada as well?She's in india right now...plz answer
There is no PCC from Canada. You may be asked to provide RCMP finger printing later. Better to collect PCCs from other countries.

NO problem in getting GST/HST credit that happens after filing their tax.
 
Thanks for sharing. Almost there now. I just responded to email asking to confirm email address, address in Canada, first and latest entry and location of last entry. Guessing that the next step will be receiving a link to submit photo? Thanks.

GOOD NEWS, Email received today around 11 am portal request, sent information as requested, portal opened around 2:30 pm, submitted photos, address for PR card. All complete within 3-4 hrs today. Very happy day. Good luck everyone. Long wait is over.

Hi. Need suggestion about my mom. She is in Canada and visa extension expiring in July. Pre-arrival services letter received in April. 2nd medical also received and passed in April. There was one ghost update last week. Should I apply for another extension now or ask local MP for case status or just do both? Please share your experience/thoughts. Thanks. @laxsun @Red and Black @M4imran @hjstannum @caninfoseeker @myahya

It is sure that your mom will get PR and it is taking time because of government inefficiency.
Does it cost a lot to apply for extension? If not, why not apply for peace of your mind.
Asking local MP may help. At least you will feel good if you try both.

Thanks @laxsun No it doesn't cost too much, I think it's $250/- I think we should apply anyway because I'm not sure what steps are remaining from now on. I mean, as long as the applicant is not a landed PR, the applicant has to have valid status i.e. either a valid visa or a visitor record/extension.
 
Hi friends, today called to ircc to get status updates. A very kind lady disclosed very stunning information regarding file journey. Started from CPC-M >london uk > Vancouver > London Ontario
Does any one got file transfered to London Ontario? Or agent made any error?
She said your file is complete, just waiting to be picked by officer to review.

For all countries she has lived consecutively for 6 months+ except for Canada. If Canadian clearance is necessary, IRCC will request a RCMP check.

Same story with my file as well. I am not sure if my file is complete though, I was told it is pending security check by my MP. everything else has been passed!

Question : wondering how IRCC call center provided you with this update, every time I phone in, all they say is file is in London and since it is in a different country we cannot provide the status update.

Two days back i wrote an email to ircc london, they told me in ambiguous words that i should raise web form as the file is inland, i was very worried as my mp had told me that file is transferred from Vancouver to London, and this london uk officer is telling me it is not in London and further he is not guiding me where on earth is my file. So called help line and after 50min wait time an officer cleared the matter, she said from Vancouver it went to London Ontario (and not London uk) and it is complete and whenever an officer will touch it it will be cleared instantly. Now what my mp told me is different from what agent told me. My mp told me that Crimnality check not complete, but this agent told me there is no adverse comments on file and it is complete, my mp told me that file transfered to London (not telling London uk or London Ontario) phone agent told me file transfered to London Ontario from Vancouver as there is heavy load in Vancouver. You better call helpline and get info regarding file location. Patiently wait for an hour to know the fate of your file. Do share out come. Good luck
