hey, I did not update the tracker.
I remember last time when this tracker link was updated here, I replied I use this site from work and the link for tracker is not opening. I had requested for someone to update the tracker for me instead, and I believe the same person updated it today! :):):)
Congratulations firstly @ Upasana..... whats your AOR

Hello guys,

So I woke up to see the golden RFV email on my phone after battling this journey for this long.

This came after I posted that I raised a CSE expressing the travesty that was done in the evaluation of my POF by the case officer who stated an amount well below what I had declared. I prepared my counter argument and requested that a review be done again as I believe that this could be a reason for the delay I have experienced which is totally unfair.

However, so the story goes and on this note my watch has ended.

I would like to thank everyone that has contributed by sharing info or providing updates of their journey as well.

VO: Ottawa
CRS 461
AOR 29th Nov 2018

Biometrics submitted 9th Jan 2019

Finally I get to post this!!

PPR for us..:D:D:D


After 235 days.. We got the GOLD

VO: Ottawa
Consultant: Y- Axis (we had full access of our file)


Timeline in short:

CRS: 462

ITA: 15th Nov 18

AOR: 28th Nov 18

Me: 8th Jan 19

ADR: 8th Jan 19(IMM5475), submitted on 9th Jan 19


No update after that.


GCMS applied through ATIP: 29th April, never received


Called on 6th month completion and was told file untouched


Re-medical request for husband: 4th June 19 ( his medical was about to expire in July 19)


Background processing started (so called IP2): 4th June 19 Medical cleared: 12th June 19


Called on 14th June and was told Criminality passed, security did not start and eligibility under RR.


Confirmed the same from Ralph.


Requested fresh GCMS notes via GETGCMS: 20th June 19, still waiting (not required anymore)


Reviewing of ADR changed to "Not Applicable": 20th July 19


PPR: 23rd July 19 (mail shows date as 22nd July 19)


I have been calling CIC each week. Last Thursday also when I called they told me Eligibility in RR. Actually it was a mixed response, we mailed Ottawa office and they told us, file is in queue for review by officer, some agents said RR and some said normal review going on. Never found out if it was actually on RR and what was the reason. Never received any GCMS notes.


It has been a terrifying journey, sleepless nights, depression, issues at work, but today I feel it was worth the wait. Oh yes, I lost 17kgs since AOR to PPR. Lol.


My husband is already in Canada studying, so it was a tough phase for us. But we finally sailed through. Rather it is our 2nd Anniversary on 28th July and this is a gift from CIC to us. I wonder if they had been holding it intentionally now. Hahaha. ;););)


My husband had a job offer and without PR it was tough for him to get it as he had applied considering he would get it in 6 months. So well yes had gone through a very bad phase but all is worth it now.


*** Lastly, I need help ***


Never read the posts about how to submit passport after receiving the mail as I thought I will never get it.

My husband is in Canada, so should I submit my passport and get COPR and travel to Canada and then he gets his passport stamped? Or is there some other procedure when the dependent is already in Canada and the primary is outside?

Also please guide me what documents do I need to take with me to VFS office? And about photographs, does vfs Office gets it done there? I am from Kolkata so anybody who have submitted in Kolkata office please guide me.


Thank you everyone who has helped me in this journey. I still can't believe I actually got it and now it is my turn to share my timeline..


FINALLY...MY WATCH HAS ENDED:confused::confused::confused:
congratulations sister, finally, gruesome journey ofcourse.

After 30 mins of wait spoke to an agent yesterday:

Eligibility: RR
Background Check: Not Started
Criminality: Not Started
Security: Not Started
Med: Passed (9th Jan 2019)
AOR: 30th Nov 2018

I am about to complete 8 months but still in IP1 don't know whats going on with my file, Recently ordered notes from ATIP. Again I have to wait 30 working days (LETS HOPE) to actually know WHY my eligibility is in RR???
Recent ppr trends and info shows that information from ircc call center has been far from what the actual processing has been..
Candidate who called a couple of days ago was informed under review, security not started and they recieve ppr in the next three days..

So i would say - gcms is the best bet to know updates even though they are a month old when you get them..

Also since a lot of backlog files have started to clear up recently - just give them some time and hope for the Best..

:)

I received a response for a webform I had raised more than 2 months ago and the mail response goes like "Application is awaiting the review of an officer" which is a standard response. What is disturbing is that the footer in the email says Central Intake Office Sydney. From what I learned reading all the forums, this is basically the entry point for all USA applications. Even though my current stage is IP2, looks like they haven't assigned it to any VO yet. This is after literally 8 months and 3 weeks since AOR.

My friend's application (US) was entirely processed at the CIO from the beginning to PPR.

Last week I got an RPRF request from CIC and I paid and upload receipt same day. Today I got a request to do medicals again because the old one has expired. My application has already passed 8 months and that's why medicals expired. CIC can be very unpredictable at times.
