Hi there,
as I couldn’t have seen any thread about Self-employed application in 2021 I would like to start one to be able to share our experience and if we can help each other.
We sent our application in the beginning of the year under the 5241 NOC number from Europe.
So fingers crossed.
We just now have received our temporary application number, and waiting for any further step.
Good luck to everyone in here!

Hi, thanks for starting this thread. It’s great to have a place where applicants can share their experiences and updates about the Self-employed application process.

Congratulations on receiving your temporary application number. Hopefully, the next steps will move smoothly for you. It would be helpful if everyone could share their timelines, NOC details, country of application, and any updates they receive so others can get a better understanding of the process.

Wishing you and everyone else waiting for their applications the best of luck. Hope we all get positive updates soon!

Hello friends,
Recently I got the Biometric request of my spouse as it was pending since I applied my file. So we gave the biometric yesterday. And now I’m waiting for my further update. So anyone got any new update recently?

Hi ,Congrats, at least you received an update from IRCC , BIL is an essential part of the process and you know your application is one step further toward completion, From now on if the officer is satisfied with your initial eligibility then you will be asked to do the Medical Exam ( which i passed 2 years ago and i am still waiting ) After you hopefully pass the medical exam you are officially admissible and then i guess your case will go under Comprehensive security check , especially if you or your partner is a male applicant. The comprehensive check takes 18 to 24 months at least ( i am at the month 24th and still waiting ). but there is a chance that you wont go under comprehensive screening and they only apply the routine screening which takes 3 months. and if everything is clean you will be granted the eCOPR ( PPR letter ). by the way wish you the best of luck, just practice the act of waiting, it is the only thing you can do.

Today I checked my GC key status in which my 3 things have changed.
1. Biometric completed with date mentioned for both of us me and my spouse.
2. Additional Review documents have been uploaded.
3. We are processing your Background check.

Earlier there was no update like this in last month. Now I am just hoping when will I get new update. last year in nov 2025 in my GCMS notes I got the Interview required remark so now I am waiting for the next update.
Please tell me how much time its going to take from now as my file has crossed 5 years and 4 months as I applied in July 2021.

Nobody knows, not even God knows. As i told you all these updates you have got recently are the ones i already received 2 years ago
And still waiting, yours can take few months to few years.
