Howdy!

So I've finally gone and created an account after silently lurking in this thread since ~November. You obviously don't know me, but I feel like I know most of you and have been an invisible passenger and loyal groupie for all your tumultuous journeys towards PR. I've shared your excitement, your frustration, the impatience, despair and anxiety every step of the way. The multi-daily GCKey account checks, the missed heartbeats with every new email notification, the awkward questions from family and friends about why I'm still here weeks after I told them I'd be in Canada... oh and don't get me started on Mathew.

Can I be honest with you guys? I didn't want to sign up here, not because you don't all seem like the coolest humans (which you totally do) but because I felt signing up would be an admission that my visa wasn't going to arrive on time, or even any time soon. A feeling I've held onto every minute since my 6 months post-AOR came and went in December; but this is it. Another week ends, I've hit my low point and I need to vent.

Maybe I should have opened by standing up and declaring "My name is ____ and I'm a PR-oholic" because this thread and the wider forum feel like a support group for an obsession that is steadily eating away at my soul and taking years off my life expectancy. The wait has become insufferable, but at least I know I'm not the only one still waiting. Still, feeling completely powerless, sucks huh?

FSW-O UK, AOR June 17th single applicant, no proper updates at all since medical passed on June 30th. Oh, well, I did get a pretty sweet progress bar to stare at (it has broken through the edge of my computer screen and just keeps going). Like many others I thought my application was pretty straightforward and I'd get my COPR within a couple of months, and certainly not longer than the 6 month deadline!

"Oh, sweet summer child" I hear you say and yeah sure, that was all before I started reading this forum and discovered that IRCC is just chaos. After my second call to them I found out I've been relegated to the dreaded "Review Required" dimension, despite being told after my first call that everything was fine, which either means I was lied to or they hadn't looked at my application at all in the first 6 months (either scenario is kinda not great).

The RR is for LOE duties, which my ex-employer refused to provide on the letter when I asked for it 8 months ago because it was against their policy. I didn't cause a fuss because the duties for my line of work are very distinct and will be more-or-less the same for every country on the planet so I thought it was self-explanatory and that anyone looking at my application might apply common sense but I guess that didn't happen, so here I am. smh, as they say. After much begging and pleading I got an updated letter and submitted it, but still not even a hint of progress.

236 days in with no end in sight beyond the brick wall I'm banging my head against. It could be next Monday, it could be another 6 months, who knows? Isn't this fun? Attempting to communicate with IRCC is like shouting into a black hole. Blood from a stone and all that.

Anyway, I have a contact in Canada and I'm going to get them to apply for my GCMS notes this weekend because this feels like the only thing left to do before I get carted off to the asylum.

Cheers guys
Hang in there bud... Was in RR too for Work letter issue, and didn't get PR till close to 1 year. I really hope yours doesn't get as bad as mine but the good news is that you'll still get it so I guess the best I can say is that "be patient" and keep bugging them with calls and GCMS notes.

All the best.
