ITA Jan 6th
AOR March 29th

I don't know when I passed IPA1 but this is the latest situation:

Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents Not applicable. Help - Review of additional documents
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I've got a ghost update on August 10th, from then nothing moved so far. I was pretty calm until I hit the 5 months. It's been forever and I've seen some June AORs even got PPR. Is there a specific case related to March AOR's? I remember a similar situtation back in 2015 or something.
 
165 days done. 15 more days to go. Still in IP1. FSW Outland. London VO. 2 applicants. Indian National. UAE resident.

Sure, I just hope they don't make us stay in IP2 for long. I stayed in IP1 for 4.5 months and don't want to be stuck in IP2 as well.:eek:
Hope this week brings us to PPR. 11 days since IP2.

171 days still in IP1, no agent, cpc sydney. My friend who has the same NOC/Points/location as me had aor 26th Mar, but got ppr in early July. He had an agent. Our applications were strikingly similar.

My advice to newbies would be to hire an agent, coz you dont have to go through this painful wait time.

Seems like my Express Entry is invalid now. Getting the following message when registering for Job Bank:

Error: You have entered an invalid Express Entry Profile Number and/or Job Seeker Validation Code. To avoid errors, you should copy and paste these codes directly from the message in your MyCIC account. If you are still having problems registering with Job Bank using these codes, please go to CIC Help Centre at http://cic.gc.ca/english/contacts for more information.
 
I had the same error and when i got a response (filled a web form under technical difficulties) from cic;

“We verified the information on your file. Since you already submitted your application for permanent residence, the job seeker validation code no longer applies to you”.

I think Express entry profiles are valid for a year.
