I applied pr in October 17 2023. I haven't heard anything so far from ircc. I called and got XG number. But I cannot link the application to see the progress .
Try to remove the "X" letter and link your application.

I have a question, once the eligibility starts how long it take to get eligibility letter and pre arrival? Because I have seen some people gets their AOR and eligibility hasn’t started yet as per their account. Now if right when I get AOR, biometrics letter Pluss additional document request, when I link it it say eligibility started and background check too, medical pass and biometrics done. Is this a good sign? Will I get eligibility letter soon? I applied on sept 2023 and got AOR on Jan 2024 @Simba112

Hi guy when IRCC make a decision on PR do they send the content of the decision to the applicant? Because recently I saw that decision has been meant on my case and I get pre arrive notice. And my lawyer was asking me about the content of the decision but I have nothing.
