Your point doesn’t make much sense. All it means is that More Indians than other nationalities like to share their personal information with a tracker.

I am a Feb Australian applicant who has received COPR, does that make them bias towards Australian applicant?
The answer is no, there are multiple people from Jan (according to tracker) as well as @samijade14 who applied before me and haven’t received their PPR, it simply is the process, The workload and the individual circumstances of each applicant.

We need to remain supportive of each other to make this forum worthwhile. Someone said early “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Like I said, I am done with my process but I want to be there for my fellow February applicants and answer any questions people might have but if it continues with this rubbish of bias and jealousy with no constructive words of congratulations then I think I will move on.

Again, I realise it’s easier said than done but we all went into this with the expectation of 12 months. Keep that in mind.
yes please move on . if you were stuck like most of us you will understand what we feel now , so keep your opinion to yourself and move on , sure we will survive without you .

@Waggles88
He's actually been really helpful for me as there are not many other Australian applicants on this forum. And he has a good point, we are all here to help each other. you went back a few pages and took the time to reply to his comment when you could have ignored it, that is the kind of negativity nobody wants to see.

We are all feeling shitty that we don't have COPR yet but thats just what it is and we cant do anything about it!! trust me i know how it feels to be frustrated but just take the help you can get from these forums.
:)

This is a public forum and he has all the right to share his opinion just as you have yours. Getting frustrated is fine. There are a lot that are in the same situation as you and still manage to keep the negativity out of this forum. No one on this forum is delaying your file, its your own case is why the processing is delayed. Like the post above said, share your frustrations but avoid spilling your negativity through a public forum by asking someone to keep their opinion to themselves. People are here to assist each other on questions and share their own experience with the process, not to take a jab at people that have cleared the process sooner than others.

Thinking I should take up knitting.... hard to wait while nothing on the site changes... they requested additional documentation in April and it's been supplied (and received - got an email to that effect), and Medical is now 3 weeks since it was sent and no updates on ECAS. Oh well... how many toques can I knit while I wait, I wonder? Good luck to all of us and stay patient...

1. Mark the main checkbox on the left too since it shows you have read through what its asking. (Not valid for all though). For Medicals, you do not tick the main checkbox. The rest of which you asked (a,b & c) you can tick the main checkbox on the left. For the financial evaluation question, it asks you to write N/A next to the main checkbox without ticking it so do that.
For my own application if a whole section did not apply to me (like additional information about children) I put a single slash across the box and wrote N/A (No checkmark) and had no issues. (This does not apply to the previous relationship part or any other part where you have to reply ‘yes’ or ‘no’ since those have individual boxes so don’t cross it out).

2. On the new sheet, you copy out the form number, Name of the form then below you write the exact question number along with the alphabet (if applicable, for eg: 2b) as well as the full question you are answering. If the question needs to be answered in a table form you make the table (eg for listing things one after another exactly like in the form). Don’t mention anything on the form. Just attach the additional sheet at the end, they will check it as long as it properly mentions the form name, number and the question number with the full question written (to be on the safer side also write your name, dob, UCI and application number so that sheet does not get misplaced).
Thank you very much. So kind of you to explain everything in detail.

Hi,
All the checkboxes in the Checklist are getting me confused.
For Question 4 (Police certificates and clearances) they ask for the police certificate from :

1) The country where you (or they) currently live, if you have lived there for six months or more, and
2) The country where you (or they) have spent most of your (their) life since the age of 18.

There is a checkbox next to each option (1 and 2).

My husband (PA) has lived in the same country all his life... so of course, there will only be one police certificate... but which checkbox should I check? Both?

Thank you!

Check Both. Since both apply to your case. I do not get the point of two checkboxes myself since you cannot skip on either condition for PCC (except when you have just moved to another country while sending the application and its not been 6 months yet). Also check the main boxes that say Police Certificates and Police Certificates and Clearances.

If you’ve had Medical recently then you may be getting file transfer soon.
It’s a 12 month process so unfortunately there’s no way to know. Everyone’s is different, but great that you’ve got movement! Best of luck :)

there's no negativity , we just wondering why some got copr and some others not mostly Indians got it faster , but he jumped into the conclusion that we are jealous . i'm not jealous at all , just asking why we are all not treated the same ? simply why straight forward application would take up to 12 month to process while other take like 3 to 4 months to process ? anything special actually about transferring it to VO or process it within Canada ? we have the right to ask and try to understand that's all ( as i said mostly if straight forward application ) i can understand if it is a complicated application yes there will be lots of delay . so i don't think processing the file within Canada or transfer to VO is based on ( easy or difficult ) . once again we are here for sharing experience and opinions and we all have the right to try to understand maybe we can get to know what is the real reason behind it . thank you all
