Hi guys! I wanted to share my timeline with you.. So here it is, for those of you who crave some insights and like to wonder if your timeline will be in anyway similar to others... ;)

Job Offer: March 20th (I was in Canada on a visitor visa and did interviews in person)
Signed AIPP Job Offer: April 15th
Settlement Plan: April 18th
Endorsement Application Sent (New Brunswick): May 6th
Endorsement Application AOR: May 10th
Confirmation of Endorsement: May 15th
Work Permit Application: May 24th, VAC Sao Paulo, Brazil
Work Permit Approval: June 28th
Travel to Canada: July 10th

PR Application sent INLAND: July 16th
PR Application received in Halifax: July 19th
AOR: August 21st
MEP: September 18th. I had sent my medical exams upfront with the application.
ADR: September 18th. Request for a RCMP certified criminal record based on fingerprints. I didn't have to do biometrics, only provide the criminal record.
ADR Sent: October 9th
PFL: October 15th. The procedural fairness letter stated that they didn't believe the NOC of my job offer was the correct one, and they also requested to send some additional information from my husband's military records. My employer helped me with the NOC issue and they prepared a response with the help of their immigration lawyers.
PFL response sent: October 24th
Pre-arrival letter: October 29th

I called IRCC on November 5th because I was getting super nervous. I didn't know if the pre-arrival meant the documents had been accepted, so I got tired of waiting and called hahahaha :p a very nice lady told me everything was OK, eligibility, criminal, security and background all passed, and that an officer would do a final review and send the decision in the next days.

On November 13th I received a response on a previous Webform I had sent, and they told me my application already had a decision and an officer would contact me in the near future...

Finally, yesterday, November 26th, I was so nervous about the wait that I called again :rolleyes: and they told me that my application was approved on November 1st!

Landing appointment letter: November 27th!

It was a long and hard process, and sometimes we felt like everything was gonna colapse and go wrong (specially after the PFL.. we were super worried), so receiving this amazing news is more than comforting..! Until yesterday nobody had said the "approved" word yet, so even though someone had told me before that everything was fine, I still wasn't 100% sure :D

Good luck to all! ;)

PS: my experience is in NOC 1112 (NOC A), and my job offer was NOC 1122 (NOC A). My employer prepared a really strong case to defend why my 1112 experience was related/had shared skills with the 1122 position. By the time I applied, Immigration stated clearly the job offer didn't have to be in the same NOC as the previous experiences. However, I certainly believe it's better if it is, and if it's not, it should have some correlation between them.

PS2: I requested GCMS notes on October 16th, and by then the only thing that had started was Criminality. Everything else was still Not started. So it took them about 2 weeks to pass everything else.. Many people suffer when getting the notes, wondering why it takes so long, but as you can see, most of the movement will happen close to the final decision.

All,

I just wanted to share my final timeline here, and thank everyone for being so helpful in this group. Everyone here helped me A LOT! Yesterday was one of the best days of my life. I've received the CoPR. :D

I have applied inland and my process took only 2 month and 10 days. I came to Canada in April on vacations and to look for a job (I already had my WES and IELTS done). I have attended a lot of job fairs, met a lot of people, I'm in sales so I have some social abilities :)... Then I found the job in May, received the job offer, then I went back to my country to quit my job there, and did the medical upfront and everything I could do to anticipate the process. Settlement plan took 1 week and NB Endorsement took 24 days. I went to the US in June to apply for the WP and it took 10 days only. Arrived in Canada on July 1st (Canada day - it was such a coincidence), then applied for the PR 2 weeks later.

So from when I started looking for a job until a got the PR it was 5 months in total. It was very straightforward.


App Submitted: 2019-07-16
AOR/BIL/MEP: 2019-08-15 (30 days after submitting courier)
Pre-Arrival Letter: 2019-09-04 (20 days after AOR)
Interview Invitation: 2019-09-25 (21 days after Pre-Arrival)
CoPR at the Interview in Fredericton: 2019-09-26

Now waiting for the PR card. It taked between 10-15 days.

Wishing everyone best of luck to get PR :)

Hi ferstavi, first of all congratulations to you and hope you have already received your PR card as i m replying to your 2 month old message.

Now my question to you ,is it possible to get an job offer in Canada while you are on tourist visa , i have 5 yr visit visa and planning to go in search of job. Is it feasible option and will it work that way.

You have sent it? Your employer has to sent it including your settlement plan and all the required documents.
AOR = Acknowledgment of Receipt

Which province did you apply to? Can take up to 3 months

Are you talking about PR or endorsement ? endorsement will be sent by the employer to the province.
PR application has to be done by yourself.
