    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    A little update from me... After receiving PPR on April 11, I sent my documents to the Vienna visa office. According to MyCIC, my application was approved, probably on April 22, maybe 21. Now I'm waiting for the CoPR document and I'm starting to get nervous because it's not here, yet. My...

    PPR!!! :D I received the magic Ready for Visa email 2 hours ago. Such a relief! Finally, I can continue planning my life. :)

    Wow, it took almost two weeks between the ghost mail and the PPR email? I guess I'll be waiting for another week... Congratulations to everyone who's received the magical email already!!!

    OK, that makes sense. I think you're in the wrong forum. This is Express Entry. You should check the Family Class Sponsorship forum here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/ Good luck!

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    Why did you submit your application with Canada Post? What immigration stream did you apply with? For Express Entry, everything is done online. You would not have been able to apply unless you had an account with CIC to create and submit your EE profile, receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)...

    That sucks. 20 days is nothing. Did you receive a ghost mail before the request? I'm kinda worried they'll ask for FBI Clearance from me, too since I traveled quite extensively in the US over the past few years (never longer than 3 months though). I already applied for one in January, though.

    Maybe they thought April 1st wasn't the best of days to send official emails, whether good or bad.

    Just received a ghost mail. Still no updates visible on MyCIC, yet. I think it's going to rain!!!

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    Thank you for the tip. I have been checking several times - no new messages, neither in MyCIC, nor in my inbox. It no longer says "updated", either; went back to "submitted" after I checked the first time.

    I just logged into MyCIC to find that under Details for my PR application it said Updated (instead of Submitted). When I checked the status, no changes though. Is that the equivalent of the mysterious ghost email? By the way, my preferred communication tool is MyCIC (rather than Email). Maybe...

    Nationality does have an impact on processing times in that different visa offices have different work loads and thus different processing times. Also, background / security checks may depend on the responsiveness of agencies in different countries. So again, nationality (and travel history)...

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    I ordered GCMS notes on December 15 (received sometime in February) and my application was also assigned to VF03143 with a due date of January 9, 2016. Under Assessments, my medical is passed, criminality in progress, security and eligibility not started. I haven't ordered a second set of GCMS...

    understanding GCMS notes

    Finally received my GCMS notes (ordered December 14). Yay! :-\ Did anyone have a note on info sharing in their GCMS notes? (...) Type: Biographic Partner: USA Status: NRT (...) Due Date 2015/11/29 Activity #: [some cryptic number - can this be decoded?] Is this a request to the FBI? What...

    understanding GCMS notes

    At least you are receiving your notes, drkv78. ;) I applied for my notes on December 14 via GCMSNow. Followed up after 40 days. They CCed me on their follow-up email to CIC last Friday. Since then nothing. I hope I don't have to wait another 40 days until CIC reacts to the follow-up email...

    AOR in OCTOBER - let's get together

    I ordered GCMS notes on December 13 through GCMS Now and just sent them an email asking when I could expect to receive the notes. They forwarded my request to CIC on December 14. Has anyone else ordered notes in mid December and not received them, yet?

    FSW Outland - Let's connect here

    Yes, I lived in Canada for 1 year with a work & travel visa, probably that's why. However, that was 5+ years ago, hence I couldn't claim Canadian Experience points for this time. But of course I had a file on record already. Does BG automatically go into progress in such cases or what does it...

    I'm not sure when exactly my BG check turned to "in progress". It was either on or before the day I passed my medicals, which was 11 days after AOR; see timeline below. I ordered GCMS notes in December (not received, yet) and will share if there's anything of note. I understand it's probably not...

    Now I regret paying RPRF in advance! I thought it would accelerate the process. Now I'm missing out on this intermediate update in the process. I ordered GCMS notes earlier this month. No ECAS access. Hoping for the best in the new year! May it shower PPRs for all of us! :)

    Somebody on this forum created a tool that will calculate how long it will take approximately, based on data shared on this forum. https://public.tableau.com/profile/sergii1858#!/vizhome/ExpressEntry/ProcessingTimeCalculator...
