Hi everyone

Could someone please help me with some doubts

Our 6 month timeframe has lapsed non aug 27th and Sep 5th we got new adr for additional family information imm5406 within 7 days.
Only medical and bio metrics have been cleared.
Rest everything like eligibility background is under process.
So how long will it take.
Really worried about the time it's taking to process

If it helps, I got the same request to upload CV/Resume + Supplementary Information form for students (weird) merely 5 months after AOR when I was hoping for PPR. Turns out nationalities other than Iranian may get this too.

I'm NOC 2171 - cybersecurity/IT work. MS in Computer Science from one of the top 10 US engineering schools. BS in Software Engineering from a US university too. Speak French. Applied to FSW EXPRESS ENTRY.

Citizenship: India
US green card holder (been living there since 17 yo) and have a UK residence permit as well.

Previously have held US/UK/Canada tourist/work/student visas.
No criminal record/adverse information.

Timeline:

ITA: April 3, 2019 (received ~next day of submitting profile)
Application Submitted: April 15, 2019
AoR: April 16, 2019
Background check set to: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Medical Passed/R10 OK'd/Recommendation Pass (as per GCMS): May 27, 2019
Same day background check status set to: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Biometrics Requested: May 28th 2019. Biometric submitted same day/completed May 29th 2019 according to CIC.
Suspected IP2: Sep 21, 2019: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Additional Documents Requested: Sep 23, 2019: CV/Resume + SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION REQUEST FOR STUDENTS
ADR submitted: Sep 24, 2019
Sep 25th:
Additional Documents status changed to: We are reviewing the additional documents you provided. BG remains in progress.

PPR?: Waiting... YAWN.

Of course, at this point I have given up hope for a PPR and best to enjoy life.

Thanks.
PS: If you are wondering why am I applying to Canada despite being a US/UK permit holder, long story. Let's just say, US is certainly out of the bag for me in the long run. Circumstances and multiple factors. And UK isn't quite like North America, infrastructure wise IMHO.

Guys, any update? I have ordered the note two months ago but I have not received it yet after 60 days.
That is odd. If you used GetGCMS you may be able to email them asking for a status update. The IRCC (according to one of GetGCMS' latest emails) is able to provide them with bi-weekly status updates. From the sound of it though, it seems your application may have been placed in Security and therefore the notes are being withheld.

That's interesting indeed. 'Ghost updates' are usually a good sign (of at least the application moving forward if not PPR coming soon) but the more I read into these forums, the more it looks like CIC is largely unpredictable. All the best mate and feel free to update me! :)

Well, it really depends on your processing office, usually for Sydney they normally have three GU before a PPR is triggered where its only one for Ottawa, however this pattern can change depending on ADR's , at least that's the pattern with my file and others in this forum.

and YES, IRCC is quite unpredictable

Anyway, Goodluck to you as well

Hi everyone! Like most of you I also had received ADR for CV and was worried that it will take months to process as I will enter Comprehensive security screening but it Didn't happen. I believe it depends from case to case and advise all that any gaps in career must be clearly mentioned in CV or LOE during submission.
Here's my timeline-
ITA: 10 Jan 2019
AOR: 5 Mar 2019
MEP/BIL: 18 April 2019
Biometrics: 23 April 2019
Called CIC on 5th Sept 19 (No major update everything in progress)
First Ghost: 10 Sep 19
ADR: 26 Sep 19 (CV and Supplementary info. for students request form)
ADR submitted: 30 Sept 19
Called CIC on 7 Oct 19 (eligibility and criminality passed, security in progress)
Second Ghost: 17 Oct 19 IST 3:00 am
PPR email: 18 Oct 19 IST 3:00 am
FSW- India
Applied GCMS on 10th July but haven't received even after 3 months. Applied for CBSA notes on 15 Oct 19.
Raised webform once but got only a generic reply.
Hope everyone gets their PPR soon!
