Congratulations! Did you get pre arrival services update at any point if yes, when?

Let's keep in touch. We are in the same boat. App: Nov 4 2021 No sponsorship approval Biometrics April 2022. Medical Aug 2022 PCC req Sep 2022. Complete silence since then

How do I find out?

Application date: Nov 4 2021 Ghost email: Feb 6, 2022 GCkey linking: Feb 18, 2022 AOR email: March 25, 2022 Biometrics request: Apr 5, 2022 Biometrics done: Apr 11, 2022 Medical request: Aug 17, 2022 Medical done: Aug 22, 2022 Medical passed on gckey: Aug 29, 2022 Still no sponsor approval or...

Those of who you received sponsor approval in the last week, was that an email attachment or a physical letter, or an update to gckey?

Thanks for the reply. Looks like for whatever reason, my application is an odd one out. Got biometrics request around 6 April but no medical request or sponsorship approval as of now. For everyone else, the 3 go hand in hand. :(

For people who received medical request and sponsor approval, I have a couple of questions: - How many days after receiving biometrics request did you receive the medical request/sponsor approval? (We received biometrics request about a week ago, but nothing else). - Did the sponsor approval...

As I mentioned earlier, I received an AOR. It is identical to what Dawood above mentions. It says to submit the IMM5768 if not already submitted with the application. Since I already included in the application, I won't be submitting it again.

Revised timeline: Application date: Nov 4 2021 Ghost email: Feb 6, 2022 GCkey linking: Feb 18, 2022 AOR email: March 25, 2022 Any idea how long it takes to get sponsor approval? Or request for biometrics/medical/PCC after AOR?

Very high chances that you get it in time if they are as quick as in Toronto but no guarantees. As soon as it says received in Ottawa, keep contacting them with the travel date.

This makes zero sense. There are more Indo Canadians from other states combined than from Punjab alone. So, no, it's not about punishing Punjabis. Now, if we are saying Trudeau cabinet has khalistan sympathizers and India is retaliating for that, that would make more sense. High population of...

To be honest, I wouldn't put it past them to double the courier charges for applicants moving forward to avoid cases like this. But I am definitely going to enjoy this.

They didn't ask for any proof.

Update: OCI application date: Jan 26. Toronto - walkin Received originals back: Feb 18 OCI issued on ociservices website: around March 10th Shipped by BLS: 14th March Received in BC: 16th March Extra details: - We moved after applying for OCI to BC and our Toronto address is closed for the...

It is an extortion business really. And the frustrating part is people in this thread will actually dare to defend/justify their actions.

Sorry but BLS is an equally bad culprit. For my wife's OCI last month, they asked for a document that's not mentioned in any checklist. On BLS or CGI Toronto website. We respectfully asked for a written checklist where that document is listed as a requirement because to be honest, you can't be...

how do I get in touch over phone with someone at BLS? Been on hold for 30 minutes now with the same long automated message. anyone know selecting what options would be the fastest way of getting hold of someone?

Nope. Sponsor eCAS shows the recently completed citizenship application but nothing else. PA eCAS doesn't even work. To be honest, I'm not too worried. eCAS didn't give much info anyway. Between IRCC my account (via gckey) and the new PR application tracker tool (which currently is available...

Yes. Applied in Nov 2021 for my inlaws who are in India. Got ghost update about 12 days back and linked to gckey yesterday.

But this is Purolator. I am moving but my parents will still be living at the address but they'll be gone to India when the OCI arrives. So no one home to receive it. Just weird how everything is lining up to make this difficult for me.
