AOR in August 2015

[jorgecmb]

Probably further reviews and double checks before the PPR. IMO this is where most of us are standing right now...

Forgot to mention:

In the NOTES: It says
"RPRF complete. File is RFV"

What does this mean?

AOR ==> August 5th. BG Check in progress ==> Nov 14th.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed update:

Thanks a lot to whoever shared this resource: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17KrJmBgFUS4UakcSu8ecSQnZn0z9UGmxc9oJ7WOP4LM/edit
It helped a lot in making sense of the document.

My GCMS Notes:
Not able to copy paste the GCMS notes here. All the data seems to be images in the pdf.
******
I got my GCMS in around 30 days. Even though the website says 45 days. And the cost is $25. I used visafile.info They seem to be a legit company and fast as well.

EDIT: UPDATE
In the NOTES: It says
"RPRF complete. File is RFV"

What does this mean?

Everything on the 105 pages looks OK. Nothing too alarming. However, given that I passed everything relevant, what is pending ?
What does the due date mean. I have only skimmed through the 100+ pages of gcms.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Quick question please. Were your notes generated after the Nov 14 BG in progress date? I am assuming it is as the last activity date is showing as Nov 19. Any indications on what the BG change on Nov 14 entails or they had notes or any updates on that date.

Again thank you for sharing, gives lots of comfort to us Aug AORs who are waiting for any news.

My Journey in Canada.. to inspire and assist..

Hello Friends,
My name is Nitin. Just like very body else, I also dreamt to come and start my life in Canada. I started preparing my application in May 2014 and was able to send it to CIC in August 2014. I used no consultants, as my only consultant and support was this forum.

I have no words for the kind of help and support all forumites have provided. I am sharing my journey and my insights on this forum to express how thankful I am and also to return the favour and contribute to anyone who may need assistance in searching a job or getting settled in Canada.

I am now to a certain extent settled with my family here, have a job (Full time) with Scotiabank.. I have also started counseling some newcomers for my settlement agency who want guidance in finding a job.

I landed in August 2015. Then started another journey, the journey to start a new life, find a home, find a job, create a social circle.. etc.. etc..First priorities were to get SIN, open a Bank account(coincidentally I applied for Scotia Start Right account from India itself and later got a job here ), get my Driver’s license , find a place to stay and so on.

I had no immediate or close family in Canada, so got registered with the nearest settlement agency in Brampton. They provide a workshop for newcomers and help you understand the job market, prepare a Canadian style resume and researching your job. But the real test comes after the workshop. I started applying for multiple jobs, tried CareerEdge for internship programs, attending mentoring events, got my business cards printed to share at meetup events, prepared job search strategy, researched linkedin. All these efforts still did not land me in a job.

I then started networking on Linkedin.. and it helped.. I will be happy to share my inputs in case anyone wants.. You never know what clicks, so I suggest we try every bit.. because failure is not an option. Feel free to connect with me. Just pm me for any query that you may have.


Thank you again for helping me.

All the Best…

Nitin

Congrats and thank you for your post...

Hi all,

Called CIC this morning, a very nice officer answered the phone... I asked to check my application, he said everything was complete...

BUT they are facing a HUGE backlog in applications and he told me that most of our applications will be processed until MARCH/2016.

That's right folks... he said that they are processing in batches and if I'm lucky, my application will be in the next one... but he couldn't tell, of course.

He also sent me and email with information to apply for a Bridge open work permit, as my file shown that the requirements for BOWP are met.

If you want to call CIC, call them at 8:00am... it's the best time to call.

I'm and inland FSW applicant... received my AOR in July 23... Fingerprints in Nov 16...

Now I'm waiting my GCMS notes that will probably arrive in Jan 14.

Good luck to us all!

Well, March 2016 means that they'll miss their 6 months processing time commitment by 2-3 months.

thanks for the info. But this is really ridiculous since they are conducting more and more draws and increasing back logs again.
