Yes! Background check was completed on April 3rd - right before the test invite.

8 months of nothing after passing the test, finally got an update! LPP complete!!! Application - end of Dec 2022 AOR - Feb 2023 Citizenship Test invite - April 7, 2023 Citizenship Test taken - April 28, 2023 LPP complete - Dec 7, 2023 Oath Ceremony - Not started I am beyond excited and I hope...

We have a very similar timeline, no updates for me since I passed the test on April 28th. I ordered the GCMS notes last week, haven’t received anything yet. My test invite was from Hamilton office and I’m guessing my files are stuck with the rest at Sydney office. It’s so frustrating…

It took 1 day for them to receive our passports (from Oakville to Ottawa) and overall it only took 2 weeks for us to receive them with our visas stamped!

We got our passports back with PR visas! The not-smiling photo of my son was approved :) For others who might stumble upon this thread, my advice don’t risk it, have your child’s photo taken by a professional studio who knows how to handle kids :)

I didn’t want to risk it so I had another photo taken with a neutral face this time :) Hopefully it’ll be fine.. Thank you for your quick reply!

Sure, I definitely will! I haven’t sent them yet, just got our photos taken but my toddler kept smiling so I don’t know if we can use that photo.. If anyone has experience please share :)

I just had my toddler’s photo taken for PPr and we could not make him close his mouth either! On the contrary he kept smiling to the photographer and saying cheese! I’m not sure if I can use that photo, did everything went well with your child’s photo? Did they accept yours?

Thank you! Wish you the best!

I’m not 100% sure but as far as I remember it was updated. The email is from @ cic.gc.ca

I’m sure it affects the process because if I’m not mistaken Ottawa office has reviewed my application and they say it is the fastest one. I’m also currently working in a well-known Canadian media company, I personally think that might have helped their decision in terms of having less concerns...

Thank you! Hope that your email is on the way!

My profile on CIC is still the same - IP2. So yes, it still says “we are reviewing whether you meet minimum eligibility..”, also no additional docs or fingerprints etc. Nothing changed there for me but I got the passport request email giving me detailed instructions about what to do next. In the...

Thank you! Well, IRCC has its own ways of surprising us, right? :) Congratulations to you too! I guess we got the best women’s day gift ever! :) I actually thanked IRCC on Twitter for it lol! I hope they won’t withdraw their passport request because of it haha

Thank you!

Just got the golden email! Feb 27 was definitely not a glitch! Today I logged into my account and it showed an update but my profile was still on ip2. Approximately 5 hours later I got the email. The whole process (AOR to PPR) only took 26 days. Unbelievable. However, road to Canada for us...

I have the same problem, they haven't asked about my child up until this point... I see that it's been a month since you wrote this but apparently nobody answered this thread... Can you share what have you done about that question please?

OMG OMG I just checked my profile and realised that I just got it!!! So if there are people out there, who received a ghost mail, that said your profile is updated but you don't see your ITA on your profile yet, don't worry!!! Mine has just arrived!!!

Haven't received an ITA yet.. But everything seemed perfect before the draw. It said that I am a candidate and my score was showing... And isn't it weird to get a ghost mail right after the draw? I don't know... :/
