Did you submit your Sched A and PCC upfront?

They asked for Sched A and PCC usually right after linking your application. I uploaded mine but it still says "Your action required".
But when you go to the application it says document uploaded. I think its the glitch the forum been talking about.
I sent my application with Sche A and PCC. Hmm, I guess i will contact them to figure out

Yup i did. Hopefully u get it soon.
Applied inland March 13, 2017
Landed October 17, 2017
Got PR card Dec 13, 2017
Ohip Card Jan 16, 2018

Finally done with all the waiting. Good luck with landing soon!
May I ask if you are common law or married?

I’m so frustrated... I applied on the same day, however still no answer. The last updated in my profile is “we received your medical exam” and is being like that for a couple months. I did my appliance with an immigration consultant and because of that I don’t have access to my gkey... I wonder if I should call immigration to ask about it because when I ask about it he only says “we have to wait”. Honestly, if I could go back in time I would have done it all myself

I understand your frustration. Other people are waiting as well. Cic is dealing with Jan and feb 2017s applicants right now so hopefully March will come around very soon.

My case was not your typical one. I was married. But was like the fastest inland process ever heard of.

If u have a rep im not sure if it will be worth your time calling them but u can always try.
Most of cic agents are not knowledgeable. I did however call them and they we able to tell me i passed eligibilty but never got AIP letter no DM/landing letter.

Hi guys, I only found this website a couple of days ago and I wish I did sooner. I think it's been more helpfull than calling cic haha.
So I just wanted to share my story and timeline too. So we applied for my permanent residency under common law inside canada with OWP too and the application was received August 16th. On October 3rd I got my AOR and request for the police certificate and the Schedule A. Some day after that my OWP was sent back because of missing fees and I sent it back and it was received at Vegreville October 19th. Last week I received an email saying that I'm not elegible for the OWP because I didn't have a valid status and that it will be approved once I get sponsor approval. My visitor visa expired on november 7th so both times when i sent OWP application I had valid status at the moment. Called cic and the lady said that the waiting time for OWP it's actually 4 months from the day I receive sponsor approval. After looking at all the other post I saw on here that didn't seem quite right so I called again and this time they told me to fill an IRCC web form as a technical error and to explain my situation. Now I'm hoping to get an email soon.

You need to contact your MPs office and get them to advocate for you as well as give them the evidence of your visitor status (passport stamp, eta, boarding pass). This happened to us and MP and lawyer sorted it out this way (took a month though). Good luck

I think I read you post properly. So, the implied status just starts when they start to process your application and not when they receive it. That is the reason why a lot of people apply for an extension of visitor permit to guarantee that they have still have status when immigration starts processing the application
