Hey everyone,

I checked my application today and it showed "Updated". After almost two long months since my background check change to "In Progress", I hope it's some good news coming my way :)
I hope everyone gets PPR soon.

I'm FSW Outland, AOR Jan 9th (close to the 6 month mark now).

Congratulations :)
 
Hi,

Question: Can we go to Niagara bridge with all documents needed for post graduate work permit and applied directly from there to save processing time ?

Is it possible ?

please advise.

I'm pretty sure that's not possible. If it were, I think a lot more people would be doing it. Sorry man.

It is possible i have seen some do it. It is not recommended and a lot depends on the discretion of the Immigration officer.

I am an Egyptian pharmacist that's currently residing and working in Bahrain. I was wondering if someone could advice me as I am quite concerned with the processing of my PR card. I have applied through the Federal Skilled Workers Immigration program.

My timeline is as follows:
Date on which I received my ITA: 26th of November 2015
Date on which I finalized and uploaded my documents and received my AOR: 9th of January 2016
Date on which I passed my medical tests: 17th of January 2016
Date on which I was asked to sign and upload a "Schedule A Declaration Background" and then I uploaded it on the same day: 18th of January 206
Date on which the CIC said that they had started on my "Background check: 24th of February 2016

And ever since then, I have not heard of or seen a single update? Should I be concerned or do I just have to wait? What's the average time for processing the PR? I await everyone's feedback. Thank you!

Its normal..I was not having any update for almost 4 months...

I am still waiting. This is excruciating :(

Almost no PPR this week but many people had received updates and their BG status changed, mostly to in progress.
Most of us are about to cross 6 months soon so I think there will be some movement starting from next week, hopefully this Friday.

Congratulations. I got the ghost email yesterday. Usually how long does it take to get the PPR after the ghost email? My BGC was in progress for 4 months :)
 
Finally some movement. ;D

BCG In Progress. I hope something actually starts happening right now.

And I'm not sure which feeling is worse - the one where nothing is happening or the one where you know someone is going over your paperwork and you're terrified you might have accidentally left something out.

I can understand. I am so restless since two days when I knew that something is happening on the application :(

Thanks for the reply. Did you submit the legal marriage certificate initially?

Ah, that is awful. I probably won't be able to sleep.

I hope everything works out for all of us and we all get to relax soon!
