Guys, I received PPR today! Got a mail at 9:47AM London time that my application has been updated. I logged in to find a passport request letter waiting for me :D When my application clocked 7 months, I was so down and frustrated. It is such a relief to be able to move on with my life.

Hi All, I have been a silent follower, but thought I would share my timeline:

AOR - 10th February 2019
MEDICAL - 28th March 2019
BIOMETRICS - 12th April 2019
VISA OFFICE - London (UK)
British citizen living in England

Heard nothing after providing biometrics. Emailed Ralph on 5th August 2019 and was advised "Eligibility and Security checks have not been initiated." Also sent a web form on this date to which I received no response.

Another web form raised around the 10th August 2019 to which I received no response.

1st GHOST UPDATE - 12th August 2019
2nd GHOST UPDATE - 13th August 2019

Sent another email to Ralph on the 13th but was advised to contact again in 3 months.

I was reading through the forum and came across a post by bairn... (sorry don’t remember full name) who had mentioned they had contacted Ralph within the 3 month period and had received another update, therefore emailed Ralph again on 23rd August 2019 apologising for emailing within the 3 month period however, wanted to understand what the 2 ghost updates related to. Received a response from Robyn (Ralph’s office) advising "all assessments (eligibility, criminality, and security) are passed as of August 13, 2019. The file is awaiting final review and decision."

Heard nothing following that so decided to try raising another web form on 30th August 2019 (yesterday), writhing half an hour I received an email advising I have a new message in my account. The message was requesting photo’s and to upload passport photocopy (not required to send passport as we do not need a visa to enter Canada). Will be posting out pictures in the next few days.

Hope this helps others and good luck to everyone who is still waiting. Let’s hope it comes through soon.

Hi Friends

I have been issued COPR in Vancouver after landing interview on Thursday 22nd August, also received my PR Card at home in Canada . I am wondering how the dependents ( my family) who are in home country will be informed by CIC for passport request / stamp process? During interview the visa officer said that visa office will contact via email , phone etc to my family. But around 2 weeks passed so far and I have not got any information.......can anyone guide me how the process for my family is going to be? I haven't got any email/ request in my CIC account also.

I am inland EE PNP candidate AOR March 29, 2019

Anyone in same situation or has been with same situation Appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks

Hi
If principle applicant travells outside of country after the application submission ; do they need to inform IRCC about this new trip or not ?
I think if it’s less than 6 months then u don’t need to inform them..but better be sure and call IRCC..
Btw u forgot to add “tamatar” to your nick:D
