I suspect, but it's obviously just a guess, that once security checks commence, a due date might kick in. Hence, the VO might be reluctant to touch the file till there is a window big enough to complete the process. My travel history and that of my hubby is pretty extensive, so I'm not totally surprised that the VO is taking (several) deep breaths before digging into this mammoth task :rolleyes: Ah well, 2019 is upon us, so at the very least, I’m looking at the year it’s all going to fall into place :p
No I don't think delay is because of your travel history .. I have no travel history outside the country still with security not started..

Wish you a very happy new year Guys. Have been away from active participation for a while, blindly (read silently) following the jinx to break the jinx which @CoolSandy started... Though she partially followed it but it somehow worked ;).. Congrats @CoolSandy . A lot has happened in the meanwhile, the trick that @Khushu@1624 played and worked for many people. And Still working @tobs .. Congratulations to you Girl. Hope you have not deleted my name from the party people list which will happen when @cansha Maharaj (sir) gets his PPR and all of us do... @cansha hats off to your chasing abilities... @Prashant86_2000 You miss me ?? Hope you enjoyed the trip... @Nishika22 Lets hope our security starts ASAP and we all get PPR soon.

I agree that in your case your security just hasn't started (not sent to CBSA/CSIS) not like you're under security screening.
There are many people in your boat across june/july/Aug/Sept AORs whose security hasn't started but eligibility is at least met and criminality passed ( IP2)
Yeah... and most importantly, the ones who moved to IP2 between 16-19 Oct and 24-26 Oct... Security for us (IP2 on those dates) hasnt started at all.

Yes in most cases.
Its completely unpredictable. In my case, on 13 Dec the IRCC callcentre agent told me that my security was in progress. When I raised a CSE on 27 Dec, they told me that:
  • The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if you and your family members if applicable meet the eligibility requirement under the class for which you have applied. You can expect to be contacted if additional information is necessary.
  • The background verifications are currently being reviewed
There seems no pattern.

Hi Guys! A bit off topic for the thread again, but any idea how to figure if my return tracker has been activated?
(P.S. My application moved to 'Approved' on CIC profile on Dec 31)

Go to the website of the courier company you used. Paste the tracking number for your return package on the tracking page. You should see if its activated or not.

Hi Friends,
I recently joined this forum and read quite a lot of posts,especially on this thread.
Writing for suggestions/insights that you guys can offer.
AOR- 15th June
IP2-16th Oct
Ghost Update-6th Nov
I am doing the process through an agent and am the primary applicant,with my wife as the secondary.(FSW-Outland).I have never ordered GCMS Notes till now.
On 17th Dec,I managed to get through to a CIC agent and had the following discussion with him:
Post verification,he told my application looks all good(VO-Sydney,Nova Scotia).Background done,eligibility done,medical passed.. (Did not say anything regarding security or criminality).He said all looks very good but I do not see a letter giving you final evaluation of the officer.At this time I cannot give you the official decision as there has not been an official decision yet. .When I pressed him on how long will it take,he took a minute's pause,and then again said that I see most of the processing is done,its just a matter of time when the officer comes back and gives you the final advice and I should call again a month later (17 Jan),and if,by then there is no movement,we will send reminder to the officer asking why he is late.(exact wordings of the agent here)
In the last couple of weeks,I saw a lot of people getting PPRs by sending mails to NDVO and I suggested my agent that he do the same.He rejected saying this is nothing but a co-incidence and we should wait for people to come back from holidays.He has filled up a couple of web forms (one of them today).No response as of now.
What do you feel I should do?This life of uncertainty and not being able to plan anything with certainty is a killer and needed you guys to help me out if possible.
My Medical is valid till 31-May-19.

Sorry for the long post but would really appreciate suggestions from you all.

Hi @cansha, thanks for the prompt reply. I sent it through VFS in India...not able to figure out using the reference id as that still says that my application is under process at IRCC. Since my application was approved on Dec 31 morning ideally it should have been dispatched by now.

That's a feel good lie. However, based on rest of the discussion it appears your file is approved (possibly)

I suggested my agent that he do the same.He rejected saying this is nothing but a co-incidence and we should wait for people to come back from holidays.He has filled up a couple of web forms (one of them today).No response as of now.
Most agents come across as either of the 3Is or a mix of these ... Idiocy, Incompetency and Ignorance. It's probably because people portray them this way. I don't know if he has even raised a CSE. These days response rate is quick.

Anyways why do you really need an agent to email NDVO? Do you have your application details with you. If Yes, you can mail NDVO yourself.

Doesn't VFS send automated emails at every stage of movement?
