Thank you @dpenabill for the always informative and thorough explanation. I remembered speaking to the call centre agent a few months ago (very friendly, transparent and seemed very knowledgable), where he mentioned that the "security clearance" would be a must before any future steps (test...

I have a similar timeline as you; I called the CIC Call Centre this morning for very similar questions, as it was already passing the "20-24 months" timeline. The "in process" date most likely was when they started to evaluate the sponsorship eligibility. It has been "in process" for just about...

You have very valid points, and I fully appreciate and share your frustrations. Most of the applicants are very grateful for the contributions of the "resume the test" advocacy groups; however, many here are also concerned about how to come up with the best way to express our frustrations. Group...

@Das67 @michel_hammamet Just to be on the safe side, call the CIC to confirm that you can modify/redo a page of an already signed form. I know that the call centre agents do sometimes give different answers based on their interpretations on the operation manual, but for basic/common stuff like...

Unrelated, but I would not be surprised if this comes out of the mouth of Erin O'Toole. -- I hope that most of our frustration is at the low efficiency (or worse, potentially the work ethics) of some government employees, rather than at each other from other immigration programs. That said, I...

If the "Received on (date)" stamp on your application form is still valid (i.e. not crossed-out), then it will most likely go back to the original queue. If the stamp has been cancelled or altered by the CIC officer (likely who also issued the "return letter"), then it will most likely be...

As an applicant, I am certainly hoping everything could speed up. However, I am only afraid that should any of these measures (e.g. 3) through 5)) be even proposed, the opposition and "human rights lawyers" would waste no time in attacking the government. It is perhaps also unfair to compare...

Agree. Having the AOR is a big step and assurance that our files are accepted as complete and officially in the queue. It is just terrible seeing people having their applications returned more than six months after the submission, and the whole process and timer have to restart again. Perhaps...

@bluecanuck located in the GTA. @canvisa13 My feeling is that the CPC-Sydney has been working quite hard to get back on track. I know July applicants with missing documents or "photo-violations" have been getting their dossiers returned. The CPC staff probably have opened and checked for...

July PR renewal applicant; received card today. 3rd renewal. Front line worker (physician), so maybe helped a bit; did not ask for favouring treatment, but front line worker status can be implied from Q20 work/education history. Parcel arrived (per courier tracking) on July 20, 2020...

Hope it makes you less stressed -- you are definitely not alone; you, @marcher, one of my colleagues, and myself, we have at least these four people who share this similar timeline/situation, where we are still waiting for the AOR. My colleague and I both have our applications submitted without...

Hello world and greetings to all, I am not sure if anyone is on the same boat. Having submitted the application to CPC-Ottawa on 06-27, till date, I have not even received a single correspondence (e.g. AOR, missing document request, etc) from the CIC. I have called the CIC in mid January...
