Hello All,
I got my GCMS notes finally. As expected it says eligibility review required, however in the entire sheet it is no where mentioned why there is review required. How do I know what are the reasons for review required?
Congrats on receiving your notes. I have applied still waiting for about 4 months now. Towards the end of the note where you find the statutory questions, you should see the notes from the officer. All the best.

Hi @cansha

I need your help for the below query if you can please.

We got a request letter for RPRF & Spouses remedical on 13th January, 2020 after passing Eligibility, Criminality & Security.

We paid RPRF the same day via MY CIC account.

Spouse did remedical on 14th January, 2020 which I confirmed with the panel doctors that results are normal and they have uploaded the same to IRCC on 15th January, 2020.

I called CIC and confirmed that they have received RPRF and nothing is due now however they are not confirming the acknowledgment of receiving the remedical of my spouse.

So the question is how many days does it takes for IRCC to update pass after receiving the reports from the panel physician.

Also once its passed when should I expect PPR as have cleared rest of the other parameters.

I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks!

Oopssss thought they would now wrap it up soon as I am about to complete a 1 year anniversary on 1st Feb, 2020.

But I hope RPRF and this remedical itself is a sign of approval?

Am I right in assuming just waiting for this formality to get over followed by PPR.

Thanks for your reply @cansha

Most likely but one can never be sure with IRCC.

Hi All,

Today was my landing interview and from today I am a Canadian Permanent Resident.

Details:
AOR: March 18, 2019
FSW Inland applicant
Ghost Update: 18 Dec 2019 and 8th Jan 2020

Inland applicants don't get the PPR, they directly get the landing interview request.
Documents required for the landing interview:
  • Two photographs (you need it in the format specified by the CIC). Although the immigration officer only asked me for one.
  • Questions asked at the interview: a) Ever convicted of any crimes? b) The date on which you entered Canada? c) Any dependents?
  • Passport
  • Landing interview email
The entire process took less than 20 mins. Just arrive their 15 mins in advance. You can also update the address on which you would like to get your PR card. I was told that I should get in 2 to 3 weeks' time.

You can use the COPR form and apply for the new Social Insurance Number and Health Card right away. To do so, you need to go to Service Canada.

Please don't get stressed when you find out that the review required is required for Eligibility, Security, etc. It is pretty common, just make sure to send them all the documents using the web form. Also, note that they don't ask for the extra documents but it is better to send them the documents anyways. I am telling all this from my experience.

All the best fellas.

Just send documents for your wife so that she gets her copr. Then you need to wait for your interview and once you're PR she will be able to land.

Thanks, Bunny.

In the landing interview they clearly say the following:
  • You need to bring your in-Canada dependent(s), only if you have included them in your permanent residence application.
I am guessing that your wife is a dependent. So, I guess you both have to go together for the landing interview. I would suggest sending your wife's passport for the visa.

Did your wife already receive an invitation to the COPR? If yes, and you want to reschedule the interview date then you can call at 1-888-242-2100. You can also ask them if your wife can go alone as you still haven't received an invitation to the COPR.

What makes you think that it would take 3 months to get the next appointment? Don't trust the call center agents, they don't have much idea about the internal workload. I live in Toronto and a lot of new immigrants come here but still, it didn't take much time to get an appointment.

Let me know if you need any help. All the best.
