Currently, applicants from January 2019 are still waiting
 
Ok. So received second set of GCMS notes a few days ago, but was traveling. Just spent a good 40 mins reading through the full notes and note the following:
  • 6 June 2019 - Paper file was moved due to workload re-distribution (didnt say where, originally was in Ottawa)
  • 12 June 2019 - PReVU Verified.
Now both these do not have an impact on the file, but since no one had touched it since 13 May 2019... I am just glad that someone touched it... HaHa! 23 Days to go!

What is PReVU?
 
Can we get gcms notes through a friend or relative in canada even if they are not mentioned as representative or nominated person in your application? Will that help getting the notes quicker?

As per immitracker (which represents a minor sample of the entire population), applicants from july, aug,nov and dec 2018 are still getting their approvals.

I guess we need to take a deep breath and prepare for the long game yet to come ...
 
Hey guys, so just to give you guys a brief update of my application. I officially joined the elite group yesterday 6 months + 1day. AOR 3rd March. I call cic at least 2ce or even more every month. And every time I call I get the same response. Eligibility and security not started. Criminality is in progress. The last time i called which was on 29th Aug. The status was still same. Today I got a reply to my webform after almost 2 weeks. And this was the reply:
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Guys, received PPR this morning. :)

Had two ghost updates twice yesterday (strangely) and called IRCC (for the first time ever) to find out what it was about and the agent said our application has been approved. When inquired how long it would take for PPR he said he cannot explicitly say cause it could vary. Woke up this morning for PPR.

What is your VO and AOR?
 
What is your VO and AOR?

I don’t know the VO cause I never checked. I didn’t order GCMS notes or raise any web forms for status updates so I don’t know much details about our application. Just called yesterday after I saw ghost updates and ended up knowing the application was approved so didn’t bother to ask anything further.

AOR : March 25
Stream: FSW-O
Ghost updates/ IP2: September 3
PPR: September 4
