Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[pmotacilla]

When you hit one year of living together, you should update CIC that you are common law and update CRA . You don't need to update PNP office. If your partner is already PR , you just need to send letter of explanation and attach copy of his PR card through webform.

Hi Miss bee,

Thank you for your quick response! I still don’t have my Application number because I haven’t received my AOR. Should I still update IRCC through the web form? Also, updating CIC should I use this email: question@cic.gc.ca (it was the only contact I could find online). And send a letter of explanation just stating my update of becoming common law? Do I need to include the signed and notarized document confirming common law (Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409)) and other proof like rental agreement or will attaching a letter and his PR card be enough? Since we became common law about a month ago, will there be a problem in the reporting delay?

I appreciate the help with these questions!

@Miss bee Quick question. I just finally received P1 email after months and months of waiting.

I tried reply to that email with required info, but I send an empty email by mistake lol. So what I did is I replied to that empty email and answered P1 accordingly. I know I'm overthinking but that empty email shouldn't be an issue right. Cheers

Hi @leedo when you got FD? And how many months you wait after FD to P1?

Please Answer thanks

@Miss bee any alternative portal to check the application status other than IRCC tracker? Because in GCKEY Login we can have general information only.

Hi @Miss bee
I just called IRCC and received an update on my application. My Primary Visa Office (PVO) is RROC, and my Secondary Visa Office (SVO) has changed from Sydney to Colombo.

Is it normal for the secondary office to change to a local location such as Colombo (I'm Sri Lankan from Colombo)? I was under the impression that there is no IRCC office in Colombo.

At this stage, does having Colombo as the SVO raise any concerns regarding additional reviews, a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL), or even a refusal? Or is this considered a normal part of processing?

Timeline:
• ITA: 18 Dec 2025
• Application Submitted: 3 Feb 2026
• AOR: 3 Feb 2026
• Stream: French Draw
• Location: Outland
• Medical: 03 Mar 2026 (Upfront)
• Biometrics: 04 Mar 2026
• Eligibility: Passed on 18 Mar 2026 (according to the tracker)
• Current offices: PVO – RROC | SVO – Colombo
• Prepare for Life in Canada email: 05 May 2026

Background Check Status:
• Info Sharing – Completed
• Criminality – Not Started
• Security – Not Started

I have already registered for several pre-arrival services, and I am a bit worried because they ask for an expected arrival date in Canada. Given my current status, I'm unsure what timeline would be realistic.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Miss B,
I applied for Non-EE PR last week, and I discovered a very serious problem after submission. If I withdraw my application and resubmit a new one, would they store the withdrawn application and possibly compare it with the new one when I resubmit.

This is generally considered a normal part of IRCC processing and, by itself, is not a reason for concern.RROC remains your primary processing office, which is currently handling a large number of Express Entry applications. It is common for IRCC to involve other offices for workload distribution, document verification, background-related activities, or regional support. Even though IRCC does not have a full visa office in Colombo, files can still be associated with Colombo or the regional network responsible for applicants from Sri Lanka.
The change of Secondary Visa Office from Sydney to Colombo does not automatically indicate a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL), additional review, or a potential refusal. Many applicants see their secondary office change during processing without any negative implications. If there were serious concerns about eligibility, misrepresentation, or admissibility, IRCC would normally contact you directly and provide an opportunity to respond.Your timeline also contains several positive indicators. Eligibility has already passed, information sharing is complete, and you received the Prepare for Life in Canada (pre-arrival) email, which is generally viewed as a favourable sign that eligibility requirements have been met.
The only stages that appear to remain are criminality and security screening. These stages can start and finish at different times, and tracker updates are not always fully synchronized with the actual processing of the file.
Regarding your expected arrival date for pre-arrival services, no one can predict the exact timeline. Based on your current status, it would be reasonable to provide an estimated arrival date several months in the future and update it later if needed. The date entered for pre-arrival services is typically for planning purposes and is not binding on IRCC.
Overall, based on the information provided, the change of SVO to Colombo appears to be a normal processing movement rather than a sign of a problem with your application
