Yes, as Escoblades says, exactly. There are many on the forum (and elsewhere) who have gotten their ppr or direct copr much before that. Or much after that. The progress bar is unfortunately just a visual representation of the math—full 6 months timeline vs how much of that has passed. Pretty useless, but I like staring at it for some reason.
I think not. @joconstantine had this experience where they called IRCC but the agent told them that the updates cannot be obtained once the file moves out of Canada. I have seen others on other threads report the same.
Yes. These days, it’s taking applicants at least a month to 42 days average to get BIL.
Each application is being processed differently right now. When you get married, one of you would have to add the other to their application...I don’t think you both can keep processing both applications separately at the same time while being married. Also, whether you add the spouse before PPR or after (before landing), it’s the same process. However, when you add spouse, it’s the PA of that application who gets reviewed for eligibility.
No you have to eitheir raise a webform or send an e-mail to the local visa office directly.
When did it change to IP2? I am also in IP1 since oct 27 and still waiting for my file to be transferred to cairo visa office to start the BG check.
This is my timeline
yes it seems that my file will be stuck in Sydney, NS because yesterday when I called the agent confirmed that my file is in Canada and hasn't been sent to Cairo for processing.
