Hello all,

I have been enjoying the forum before it was deleted. I can see that people are getting so pessimistic due to the long wait for both IRB hearing and then the long march to PR. I am one of you who have been through these seemingly endless processes. Patience is the one big thing I have learned here in Canada; this is a waiting country, alas! But I still hope and have a bit of optimism towards my recent PR application since December 2019.

I was granted a convention refugee status in November 2019 after three years of waiting as refugee claimant. Below is my timeline for PR application.

I am wondering how relatively fast my application is going (as you can see from the timeline below, I and my dependents oversees completed biometric, medical and police certificate in almost one month) but at the same time I feel lost because I haven’t received any update regarding eligibility requirement even though I submitted all the requested documents four months ago. Note: I have received a letter from IRCC that I am selected for Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot, whatever that is.

I would be happy if someone with the same experience shares his thought about when I will get eligibility requirements updates and what should I expect in the coming months.

Hi, I applied December 2019. And IRCC requested almost all documents in one month time i.e. medical, biometric, police certificate and passport of my dependents which we have submitted all together in January 2020.

yes i applied december 2019 and submitted medical, biometric, police certificate and passport of my dependents all in january 2020. , people in the pilot project might be lucky. my worry is this particular pilot project is suppose to run only for one year and i am wondering what will happen if IRCC will not finish our applications in that one year time frame of the pilot.

Thanks. That is what I wish to be, to be finalized in one year. Given the recent history of IRCC timeline, that will be great news for many applicants

People who their PR process take more than 15 months we are all on deep background checking process and its not in the hand of IRCC
base on some standard and SOP your officer recognized they should check you "deep background checking" because not hazardous for Canada in feature so they will send this request to CSIS for background checking and as I read in some post in another topic of this website they are working with some agency around the world so it's like they will create some requests to that agency, long story short its all depend to those request back, CSIS's guys will complete their result and they will forward to IRCC than IRCC officer will consider case by case by the lineup.
even its not in hands of IRCC even if you notice when u take ATIP, at the result, some parts are blank, and IRCC only replies u by please wait.

base on some standard and SOP your officer recognized they should check you "deep background checking" because not hazardous for Canada in feature so they will send this request to CSIS for background checking and as I read in some post in another topic of this website they are connecting with some agency so it's like they will create some requests to that agency regard u, so long story short its all depend to those request back, CSIS will complete their result and they will forward to IRCC then IRCC officer will consider case by case by the lineup.

so don't call or contact them via web form because the junior officer will tell u just wait until the process has done they can't explain you more
also in ATIP result if you check security part is blank so no one can help us until result come back to IRCC
thanks. I feel your frustration and what you said makes sense. I guess different government agencies are involved in these processes. I can see from my application that i haven't received an update regarding eligibility despite the submission of all requested documents. the last time i received update was in January regarding medical exam pass. so i guess IRCC will wait reports from other government agencies to review the applications.
i think it is good to hope as there is nothing that we can do to change the course of IRCC timeline.
