Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[Sami88]

Waiting since November of 2021...
After contacting the MP office here's the update I received:
IRCC confirmed that all assessments made on my application have been finished and that the application is awaiting a final decision to be made.
But they don't provide a timeline for when they reach the final decision!

Why would they? They don't break down timelines between steps. I know it's annoying. I have PAL and all an officer needs to do is approve - but they will make us very painfully wait, because they can.

It's really annoying that your application is sitting on someone's desk when all the assessments are done and no outstanding documents are needed.

I hope we receive the approval in early Jan.

PAL doesn't mean all assessments have been done though. I received PAL and my Security hasn't even started yet as per the IRCC call center. I am not sure if it always remains as "Not Started" even if it's finished, but yeah.

Where do you see if it remains as "Not Started"?

Mine shows this:

Background check

• We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Everyone's is the same. It will be this way until the day you have approval.

How did you even get through the call centre? I've been calling every day and can't get through - I'd also like to know my VO and what steps.

Have you done a medical exam in the past?

As per this site, which I think is quite informative, says "on MyCIC account Background Check will change twice for most applicants. First it will change in the initial few weeks, and then go back to "Not Applicable" and later in the process again change to, "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." This happens because criminality check and security check are both a part of background check, and when these checks happen, the status changes. It will continue to be in progress the second time until you receive the COPR. In GCMS, usually Security does not show as "In Progress"; it will be "Not Started" or it will be blank if security screening is underway or completed. If Security is blank and you also see s15 then it's a strong indicator that Security screening is passed. If Security screening has passed then your application has either been approved or pending a final review before being approved".

So far, I haven't seen BGC in "not applicable" on my cic account. I plan to order GCMS notes when some 2 or 3 months of time has past, if I don't see any new updates on mycic account.

Whao, that's super fast. I applied in November as well but on a latter date. Was there any medical request or ADR? I think @airforce1907 also got AOR within around a month as well.
I wish I could get mine so soon,too.... All the best!

No Mr or ADR. I uploaded UMI of the medical exam in 2019 for study permit, but not medical passed yet. All the best！

 

[AliMay]

Have you done a medical exam in the past?

Yes, in 2019. I was an international student.

 

[lamen22]

Yes, in 2019. I was an international student.

Ah okay I see, yeah it's because of the new policy. You wont need a MR, they'll just use the old one

I've done the same, and uploaded the UMI of the Medical exam (from 2020), this is the status so far:

Review of medical results

• We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.

I am going to temper your expectations here - just because you got AOR & PAL in 1 month doesn't mean you'll get portal anytime soon. The standard processing time is 22 months and the fastest fluke applications we've seen are 6-8 months, with the majority taking 11-15 months. They may do your AOR & PAL in a month sure, but expect to hear nothing for many more months.

6 - 8 months - Fluke? Yeah, thats like express entry fast
11 - 15 months - Lucky, considering the non-express processing times!
20 - 22+ months - Not so lucky - perhaps some sins in past life or karma at play

Though, eventually to be approved if all the supporting documents are good.

Remember, it also depends on how fast you get AOR. If you get AOR within a month or two after submitting your application, then your processing time SHOULD relatively (not saying will) be faster, unless they keep delaying the application on purpose.
