Good luck to all who are waiting for your PPR.

Quick question: What are the biggest job sites in Canada (Ontario/BC) for the tech industry? I mean, who's the ZipRecruiter/ Dice of Canda?

TIA
I suggest researching companies you might be interested in and looking up career section on their website directly.
Sometimes they are accepting applications even without job opening, like an expression of interest application...

So had a chat earlier today with an agent and it always goes like this eligibility, criminality and security not started. Everything looks normal.

But today he said my file is currently in queue for review by an officer.

Now I wonder what that means. This is actually the first positive update I've recieved in months.

I wonder how they come to knowing this. If they look purely at GCMS notes, then it might be the part, which says that your file is assigned to someone

Thanks a lot. That is such a relief knowing that something is moving in VO Calgary.
My Criminality is showing in progress since Dec 14 ( notes ordered 19/2), eligibility and security not started.
Looks like they are picking up files last minute and then it's moving fast after.

Congrats to you, and hope you'll receive your PPrR email very soon!

Do you live in AB or BC?
(I'm trying to figure out how they assign VO. I'm in BC and Vancuver makes sense for landing interview, but no idea how I ended up in Calgary)

I don't think it has anything to do with where I live. I'm currently living in Toronto. According to my notes, my file was originally assigned to Ottawa and transferred to Calgary due to workload distribution in the first month after AOR.
Ya although I'm anxious and worried, there's honestly nothing we can do to change the current circumstance. I'm trying to keep myself busy with work so that I don't have to pay much attention to this sort of things. Try not to let IRCC ruin my normal life routine lol. Man this is such a painful process.

Yea, I feel with you! The closer it gets to 6m the harder it is.
In your case I think there's nothing to worry about anymore ;)

Do you know when your Criminality started? I'm puzzled by the fact that mine is showing in progress for 5 months.

Hi All,

Ppr email received today Morning!!!!
Timeline
29th Oct AOR
29th Nov MEP
2nd April IP2
11th April PPR
Spouse Primary Applicant iam dependent
FSW Outland India.

Thank you to All,
This forum keeps you going and keeps your hope alive.

Cent % of advice, just make sure to call cic and check your progress, you might get some valuable information and sometimes it triggers the process faster. Trust me, I called up the agent twice and after 2nd call the next day I moved to ip2. Trick is to ask the same questions in different ways.

All the best to all brothers and sisters here may God bless you all and I pray all of you guys receive the golden email soon. Hope to meet many of you in our new home

My criminality starts right after Nov 28th, this is the date my medical passed and R10 shows ok based on my notes.

Thanks a lot! I'm so much calmer now.
My R10 shows Criminality recommend pass but still at the tops says in progress.. got me worried. Looks like ots a standard for VO Calgary and it's just waiting to be picked up by an agent.
Your case gave me so much hope.
Thanks a lot for sharing :)
