Th Stay positive. It will come soon.

Yes, something wrong with it. I wrote an email directly to CPC Ottawa.

Swept away at last. We submitted what we thought were perfectly prepared applications of January 17, 2019. We had hired a consultancy to review our documents and represent us. Resigned from my then job and took up a new job in a new country after this. I was hoping to resign while in probation...

Yes. More like January 15 and after though. One of the senior BAs (he got his PR 7 years ago) in my team here told me this. Also, he says if you are in IT, you are better off in Ontario inspite of sky high accommodation prices as other provinces have scarce openings in IT. Not sure if this...

The buzz ly meme sums it all up Very powerful message.

Technically, I can leave tonight and not serve a single day. So, they can not keep me by force but everytime I pass through a GCC airport in future, I would be questioned and stalled. I heard first hand experiences. Plus, I guess I stand a better chance of saving in the months ahead with tax...

I have heard from my Canadian colleagues that job search wise, October to January is hoping too much. But being there in January will give you access to all the fresh job openings that come in the new year. Weather will be a life long reality. If we land in winters, we should be wardrobe wise...

I just paid 5k USD for my daughter's term 1 fee. I can not leave Abu Dhabi until December 15 now. Jan 13, medicals will expire. In a tight spot. Also, I am in a new job. If I leave until Oct 30, I have 0 days notice. After that it is 90 days. Never thought it will come to this. I open my gmail...

First of all congratulations!!! This is suprisingly proactive. Most likely the case officer believes that by the time your decision will be made your medicals will be valid for less than 90 days. And, they are close to making a decision for you. A lot of people see their medicals extended...

No need to apologize. We all go through these phases. You are most welcome to vent it out. :) My post was to no one member in particular. Just trying to keep the spirits high here. Let us not get affected by the situation. Let us rejoice for the celebration to come. My post is ready. :)

Wo Wo Wo Woh! Too much negativity. Friends, we have invested a lot of time, money and emotions in this to let these delays discourage us. Let us stay positive. Let us be constructive. Please see each day that passes without the PPR email as another day less from the total wait due for us. There...

No. Don't worry friends. We are all gonna get Canadian PRs.

Lot of people in waiting here have a history in the US it seems.

As per my agent (based on 100s of applications they prepare every week), roughly 40% of Jan applications are still waiting. Most of these should get resolved in the next 3 to 4 weeks. About 10% of all applications go in long SS every month and get resolved in 9 to 15 months. But these are past...

Same status, same reply, similar situation. My GCMS notes should arrive in another 10 days. Black box for now. My agent says its because of too many applications and some verifications they do in regards to our employment, background, etc. In general, they are backlogged and delayed. We should...

Which is the more dreadful out of the two webform responses: 1. "Your application is currently in queue for review by an officer" OR 2. "Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications" Are they both just random responses or do they have different meanings? People with...

No. You will find out your VO in the second email automatically.

This is first of the two mails that they will send. This is to acknowledge that your request has been forwarded. Now an agent from the respective visa office will most likely send you one of the two emails: in queue waiting for review by an officer OR under review and requires additional...

Some forums say this could mean Security Screening but there is no way to tell for sure other than GCMS notes. And, no way to tell how long security screening takes. These get resolved in a few days or many months. It's a black box. I sincerely hope it is random reply without any hidden...

It's just an indicator based on a sample. For every month, there will be people who never added their case or updated it. That factor is same across months. 'Accurate' data will only be available with IRCC if only they analyse their backlogs.
