    Sending a scan of passport for PPR

    Does anyone know if it has to be colour? Or is black and white fine?

    Two and More Degrees ECA evaluation

    Another update.... I got PPR! I hope this helps someone complete their application. The stress for me when completing this section was crazy!

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    So my theory on the delay... After Jan the number of AORs issued dropped and points went up. There is a rumor that this was done to clear the backlog of cases. This then leaves us at the back of the queue, with potentially the greatest delay we have seen in Express Entry yet. Files have been...

    AOR - JAN 2016 - BG Check Not Started << Join Here

    1 week since mine changed. Things are probably going to be delayed further due to the Canada day long weekend.

    AOR - JAN 2016 - BG Check Not Started << Join Here

    Seems like they are processing in batches. I have read on this forum that a PPR can follow in just a few hours but it is more likely to be several weeks.

    AOR - JAN 2016 - BG Check Not Started << Join Here

    So after exactly 5 months my BG has changed to 'in progress'. No email , just logged in and seen it updated. It will be very interesting to see how long it takes between now and PPR (hopefully).

    Brexit Currency Volatility

    With Brexit having a disastrous effect on GBP I wonder if it is worth raising a CSE showing more funds than required just to be safe? Does anyone know what exchange rate they use- is it the exchange rate at time of AOR, case review, PPR issue or at landing? Worst possible timing for Brits...

    AOR - JAN 2016 - BG Check Not Started << Join Here

    Hmm unfortunately my criminality check has been passed so that is probably not the reason. My education and medicals are also passed. It just looks like my file is in a queue. I have ordered my second set of GCMS notes so hopefully there has been some movement. I hope we are all the group who's...

    AOR - JAN 2016 - BG Check Not Started << Join Here

    The Jan AOR thread is getting difficult to follow. I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for those who submitted AOR in Jan and still have not got BG in progress! This way we can establish if you can get PPR without it changing or changing at the very last minute. Please no endless...

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    Mine is the same. Nothing since Jan 30th. Just sitting in a queue I'd imagine.

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    Just got my GCMS notes. Took 34 days. No update on my file since Jan 30th. Seems awful slow in Ottawa...

    Two and More Degrees ECA evaluation

    Hi All I said I would update once I knew more. I had two major issues. 1. My WES summary only listed Bachelors, however, the body of the ECA listed Bacheors and a one year college level certificate. 2. What to select on the form. I filled in the forms as: I've just received my GCMS...
