Good morning,
I am new to this form, please excuse me for asking simple questions: i have received the below message in my email.
''
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided and have forwarded it to the responsible office.
They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on your application. "

I checked my profile - there was no message in it. Why does this email mean ?

Did u send CSE with additional information? This would be confirmation of reception!

The maintenance is still going on. Maybe CIC is taking some extra time to directly update status from NA to PPR (without IP2)

Maybe,when will we be able to check our accounts again?

Ok Champions, i have a query. My country of residence is UAE and I hold an indian passport. In the likely event i get a PPR, i should ideally be asked to submit the passport at a VFS office in UAE.

I am planning to visit India for a 2 weeks or so. However, my query is whether I can submit the passport to a vfs office in India or it will specifically need to be submitted in UAE?.

@johnsyk @KiranK @comfortablynumb

IMO better submit in UAE only, others can clarify.

I sent an email to Ottawa and they confirmed my application had been approved and should recieve a letter soon. My visa office is London and I still haven't recieved the mail. I don't understand what's up with LVO. Let's hope London PPRs rain today.

Hey.. I was told the same thing on Friday last week, my application has been approved and that I ll receive an email shortly. My LVO is also London and I am now wondering is the email batches are based on the LVO to which the passport needs to be sent to.

Yaaay!! Oh its you, how s that CSE going?

Got an update on my cic account.
2 things changed at the same time.

1. Background = We are processing your background check
2. Documents = We do not need any more documents

My background was always NA, I never saw any change. This is the first time i am seeing this., i guess they accepted the CSE already. What do you think?

From what i have seen they definitely work in batches!

It is IP2!!!!! For sure!! Get ready to celebrate soon...

Hey @KiranK.. Yep.. I see that as well with the spurt last week for India based applicants and today there was good news for Nigeria based applicants today. Not sure what order they are following (and praying all the gods that I know that the order should not be alphabetical order of countries), but hoping for some good news. From being elated last week to becoming a little frantic over the weekend about not receiving the email, I am a little more balanced now

Now you are in IP2 probably - whats the whole message status? We are processing your background check.. We will send you a message if we need more information?

If yes, They have received your CSE and started eligibility and criminality now that they have PCs! How s your travel history?

Travel history is in 5 different countries.

Hi @astralsource, @gurik, @KiranK, @comfortablynumb
I have just read about the CIO in Sydney and from my understanding it is where the eligibility is carried out. Is it safe to say my application is still undergoing eligibility and hasn't been moved to a VO yet? or Can my application be finalised in Sydney?

your inputs would be appreciated.

Hi there, I think your file be processed at CIO only. Comfortablynumb mentioned in his GCMS that after R10 and criminality his file was transferred to Ottawa and eligibility was done there at Ottawa office. Near the end of process your file might get transferred to LVO, but I think major processing will be done at CIO itself.

It's PPR guys

Received an email from my consultant this morning, informing me that the long wait is finally over. And, it's really been a long long wait...

Since the day I joined this forum back in February 2016, there hasn't been a single day when I haven't checked this forum. It has been like a lifeline for me that has kept me going through the tough times when CRS was rising with every draw and I almost lost hope of securing an ITA. This forum has been like dope for me, which I keep coming back to even if I want to stay away. This forum has helped me connect with some amazing people...right from the days of the Ray of Hope threads (I have been in countless ROH threads) to this amazing thread. I must say that we have a bunch of the most helpful people around here and I really hope that we stay in touch even long after we move to Canada in pursuit of our dreams. Now, before it begins to sound like my farewell speech, rest assured that I'm going to stick along with this forum and all you people, for a long time to come

Now coming to my two cents: We have all been speculating that a long travel history generally delays PPR. However, I have travel history to 14 countries including travels to Africa and the Middle East. I had more than 40 entries in my supplementary travel form. So, I presume it is safe to conclude that travel history is probably not as much of a factor in delayed PPR as we have been thinking. Also, we have been discussing that applicants from UAE have secured slightly delayed PPRs as compared to other applicants. I'm on Day 84 post AOR and I assume that is pretty decent if not super duper fast. However, I reckon that more number of PCCs could be a factor. Despite my extensive travel history, I had to submit just 2 PCCs while @johnsyk had submitted 3 PCCs, which could explain why his application is running a bit behind.

Just hang on guys, your day is going to come soon...Cheers!!

Maintenance is over. Good joke, though I think CIC may have many other items for maintenance (something that interests them and not the applicants

So
Finally is it over or not??
