Hi Ya All,

Does anyone of you here received an email regarding an interview with CIC while application is still on process? What does this means if they will require an interview?

I need your thoughts and ideas please.
I did, interview was held in abu dhabi in feb 2019. It was regarding work experience/eligibility.

Waiting on CoPR from London for exactly two weeks now. I sent all of my papers by post as there was no place to upload as requested.

Logged in today and nothing has changed on the main profile but in the 'submitted documents' page a placeholder has been added this morning (with a deadline of my 30 days CoPR deadline). Also, the information on fees paid is no longer there.

Looks like my CoPR may finally be being processed!

17 days since LVO received my CoPR photos and documents. No word yet.

I log in a couple of times per day to check for an update, today is the second time where I've logged in and a placeholder for my document has magically appeared. No idea what's going on and starting to get stressed out. Thought the tough times were over once I got PPR :(

Don't worry Bro, it will end soon, at least your application is approved and it's just the matter of days until you receive COPR...
For me eligibility criminality passed since last May and BG checks are being processed since then without any update...

You too don't worry bro...there are still so many with eligibility not passed yet and therefore security not initiated...

Good news is surely on its way...:)

AOR Date - January 18, 2019
Medical Pass Date - February 27, 2019
Bio-metrics enrollment date - March 25, 2019

After the passage of six months (July 18, 2019) i had escalated a webform query.

IRCC responded to my webform query on July 30, 2019, and stated:

"We are pleased to confirm that the information you provided was transferred to the responsible office. Since your file is located at the Canadian visa office in London, United Kingdom, we invite you to contact them too."

After one day, on July 31, 2019 I received an email from London Visa Office stating that:
"Your application has recently been transferred to this office (London, UK) for processing and is currently awaiting review. We will contact you again as soon as we are able to. In the meantime, please do not send repeat status requests as we will be unable to respond to them. Your cooperation will be appreciated."

I had ordered GCMS Notes as well from applygcms.com, however notes have not arrived even after the passage of 35 days from order acknowledgement.

Moreover since July 31, 2019 i have not received any response from IRCC or London Visa Office.

Would anyone kindly address the following concerns:

1. How much time does London Visa Office take to process an application?

2. What are the steps involved in Background Check and Eligibility since as per my Express Entry Profile both of these are in process.

3. When should i escalate another webform query?

4. By what time should i expect IRCC's final decision?

5. Any further suggestions..

Thank You!

1. Unfortunately nobody can answer that question for you. It depends on each individual case.
2. I am imagine the background check is all about seeing your travel information and your police history etc and the Eligibility is to see if what you said in your EE profile is actually true.
3. I am not sure if escalating anything is actually going to help you. Perhaps order your GCMS notes and then see if there is anything on your file which is causing delay. If there is not then the only thing you can do is wait.
4. Nobody can tell you this answer.
5. See 3.

ITA - 15th Nov 2018
Category- FSW(O)
AOR - 7th Jan 2019
Medical passed -15th Feb 2019
Biometrics - 27th Feb 2019
Eligibility & Criminality passed - no idea about the dates or GU as my case was with a consultant - but by July 20 as per Mr Ralph it was passed + Security Screening not started yet :/

PPR - 13th Sept (from London Visa Office)
249days total

Dint order any GCMS notes.

-Waited patiently till July 7th but then started investigating and joined this forum to find out why/ whats taking them so long .. then begged the consultant to raise a webform they still dint tell me if they ever got a reply for the webform -.-

Took charge on my own : -
1-Mailed Mr Ralph on July 20 found out Eligibility and criminality passed.. BUT ...Security checks have not been initiated.
2- Then called IRCC after much contemplation because i dint know what verification info the consultant had given ..but just went for it and the agent at IRCC wasn't of any help as my application was being processed outside Canada .
3-Mailed London Visa office they got back to me in an hour stating cant give information /update as e-mail is not registered !
4- Tried to call IRCC again mainly to update or add my e-mail ID so i can get updates from LVO but sadly just a day before that service closed due to influx of calls worldwide.
5- Was just going to purchase a virtual number to call IRCC that i received a call from the consultant that YOU'VE GOT MAIL !
I in a very monotone non- excited voice said thanks and then just gave thanks to GOD !
this period of waiting just killed my excitement ,maybe the process of wrapping up and moving.. brings it back :)

- Takeaway from my experience pls advise your friends or others applying for the PR do not go for a consultant ( they just eat ur money ) unless ur case is difficult or needs an Immigration Lawyer (Lawyer is different and Consultant is a different thing)
I had an issue and went with the agency but later sorted out on my own and as i had paid them already so continued the express entry application.
Everything is available on youtube ..this forum or different facebook groups !

To all who answered my queries thankyou and to everyone who's waiting i pray the wait is short and sweet and ends soon with a happy ending !
inshaAllah :)
