Fellas, finally. I am happy to report that I've got landing interview. No PPR. its in two weeks. I will update you with my experience once it is completed.

Congratulations man! Its cool to hear that......Lets see what happens to other inlands who have not heard anything from them.

 

[Y@$h]

@cansha - do we really have people from April and May who haven’t received their PPRs, or are they inactive and never updated us?

 

[Maverick28]

Hi, I have been mailing them since this week. They are saying that there are few files stuck with IRCC and they have been coordinating with IRCC. The GCMSBuddy is highly unreliable and their customer service sucks!! Somebody had applied on Oct 22 and received the noted today via getGCMS. I don't understand why my file is stuck. Already my eligibility is requiring further review and was completely depending on these notes to help me. Did you apply through getGCMS or GCMSBuddy?

So you contacted GCMSBuddy about the delay, they told you that the notes are delayed by IRCC but have been marked as priority so they will be released soon and still their customer service sucks? What else do you expect them to do? You need to understand that the service providers are just a medium between you and IRCC. They do not control when the notes are released. And there are many people who have got their notes with GCMSBuddy which were filed on Oct 24-25th too. A few files are delayed and they will be released soon.

Also, feel free to search in this forum about the delays in GCMS Notes. You'll see that there are many requests that have been delayed, irrespective of the service provider.

@cansha - do we really have people from April and May who haven’t received their PPRs, or are they inactive and never updated us?

Two of the April guys are active and don’t know about the last one on our list in April.
Also many in first week of June are not active so we don’t know what happened to their cases.

@sirjoe have you called CIC recently? If not I think time for you to call, raise CSE and reach out to Ralph.

 

[sirjoe]

@sirjoe have you called CIC recently? If not I think time for you to call, raise CSE and reach out to Ralph.

@cansha I called CIC the following day my application clocked 6 months and the agent still said the same thing that I already know from my GCMS notes. However, she said she could see a note about my spouse previous Open work permit refusal which requires review. After the call, I decided to raised a CSE immediately providing the previous refusal letter, approval letter, her visa and work permit and also writing a letter of explanation as to the reason for the first refusal.
I called CIC again last week just to find out if my file as been looked into and approved considering that myself and spouse are inside Canada and not sure if we should be expecting an interview invite or PPR but the lady said they’re still working on it.
We’re just praying and trusting God that we get a positive response soonest.

Okay I see ... So @Rijo02 case is kind of similar to yours and he did get PPR in the 7th month. Your case is better in the sense that your spouse is with you in Canada.
But IRCC doesn't seem to follow any pattern when it comes to inland candidates. We did see some May and June candidates get PPR within timelines even for inland candidates. But we do have dear @annevn8 waiting patiently even though her application didn't seem to have any issues. I just pray you guys get it at the earliest.

Thanks @cansha. We pray so too. It’s not a funny wait.

only CIC finds our wait funny buddy! I wish I could sponsor some empathy classes for the agents.

Congrats......your record here shows that you are inland. If correct, was the PPR for you to submit passport to Ottawa or was it for spouse?

Hi, i have two letters, one is for me to submit to Ottawa and other one for depends to submit at VFS India. Sorry for late replay. I am on vacation.

 

[Anujithvs]

I did not get any ghost before my PPR, even still my additional documents showing as we are reviewing the additional documents that you submitted. But still got PPR. So anything is possible.

Wow.....Good for you.I wish I had received two letters for my wife and I. I wish she comes in soonest.....However, she can't even come until I land. The painful one is that the flight ticket which I hope to buy is actually increasing by the day!

Montreal can you just be kind at least for once and get things done completely?
