Maybe it is because you're here in Canada already even in a different visa but you're already giving your contributions for the nation, it is important to bring our outland friends to join us as well.

Just kidding, if anyone understands the formula of this queue process and an assertive prediction for each stream will be honoured with a Noble Prize.

Formulae is

3*( month you have applied + year you have applied + date you have applied)

That means mine is 126 days...lol

That would be nice, I will let you know when we reach the 126 days mark ...btw we have the same AOR date.

Brilliant News... Congratulations!! Can you state your nationality as well please...

I'm an Indian national currently residing in USA.

 

[vinay16]

Thanks for detailed analysis. You rock as usual..!!

Based on that, I think I will need to wait for 6 months from the date of AoR..!

Time to extend my last working day at office for one more time (hopefully one last time)..!!!

For the Indian citizen/resident FSW-O data since January 1, 2019:

Mean: 172
Median: 162
Standard Deviation: 40

Thanks to @MarcioSilva for prompting me to include that data.

True, I can't wrap my head around that discrepancy either. My file is still at CPC-Ottawa, and I've only noticed one or two FSW-O candidates on this forum whose applications have been transferred to NDVO already, so the theory holds. Maybe there's a weird bottleneck somewhere before the "post-processing" transfer happens to NDVO?

Not all files move to NDVO for issuing PPR.

Hello, my AOR is January 2nd and i am CEC Inland in Toronto too (visa office is Vancouver though) I am on the same boat as i don't know why they are taking so much time for us while they are making it really fast for outlands.

Yup, raise a concern again.. last time it took two days for them to reply, saying that they put it on priority... it's been 15 days since, that's why I emailed them again... got the standard response email just now, waiting for the one saying that they are putting it on priority *again*

@legalfalcon can probably speak more on delays. I got mine in 30-31 days both times. I believe delays can happen if they have to redact sensitive information.

Which is never a good sign... My application is pretty standard, I just have a lot of travel history in the past 10 years...
Anyway... playing the waiting game...chasing after them

@legalfalcon Ever had this kind of delay on GCSM notes? Thanks

Before I answer the delay part, we need to understand how GCMS notes are released.

GCMS notes are released under the Access to Information Act. Section 7 of the Act mandates that a federal agency should release the requested information (here GCMS notes) notes within 30 days of requesting it.

7 Where access to a record is requested under this Act, the head of the government institution to which the request is made shall, subject to sections 8, 9 and 11, within thirty days after the request is received

However, ATI Act, also provides for extensions in certain case or a complete refusal under section 26.

26 The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act or any part thereof if the head of the institution believes on reasonable grounds that the material in the record or part thereof will be published by a government institution, agent of the Government of Canada or minister of the Crown within ninety days after the request is made or within such further period of time as may be necessary for printing or translating the material for the purpose of printing it.

However, most GCMS notes are delayed due to one of the following:

1. Administrative delay - Mostly in cases where your application has been transferred outside Canada to the LVO.
2. You application is at the final stage and awaiting approval - Here IRCC will prioritise the approval over releasing GCMS notes.
3. The application is under investigation and the applicant has been called for an interview - IRCC will not release the GCMS notes until the interview is over since it does not want the applicant to know the reason for the interview, so that the surprise element is not lost.
4. Refusal under s26 - Very rare, but does happen

When the GCMS notes are delayed, all you can do is request IRCC and follow up with them or file a complaint as specific under section 30 of the ATI Act.

Hi All
The conversations in this group and immitracker have been really helpful in resolving most of my doubts and keeping track of the application timelines. On March 28, 2019 I received PPR email. Today afternoon CPC - Ottawa office received our passports. I applied for PR in FSW - outland stream on December 28, 2018.

I hope everyone in this thread gets a PPR soon.

Congratulations ! Same AOR as mine!

Hi @cansha, yes, I've seen this, too. Curious if you've identified why this happens? (I'm not able to understand where Indian residents would be expected to send their passports if not NDVO.)

Not all files move to NDVO for issuing PPR.

You and I have quite similar dates, AOR 8 Dec, MEP and IP1 19.01.2019 and nothing after that, pin drop silence after that and I live in Singapore and noticed that your NOC is 1112, mine is 1111.

I was hoping to have good news for you in the form of a flat line. Unfortunately, I cannot give you that good news. The trend is going up, slightly.

I did more data entry. This chart contains all data from January 1, 2019 through right now for FSW-O Indian Citizen/Residents. Most recent to the left. Data source: MyImmiTracker. Count: 301 records. The red line is the trend line.

Please would it be convenient to nicely ask if you could run the same scatter plot for Nigeria FSW Outland?
