Hi everyone,
I hope this thread is officially closed because everyone w/ Jan AOR got their PPR! But I know some of you are still hanging there. Stay strong! I was one of you and probably had a worse situation compares to many of you but I was happy with the result and I'm planning to take a trip back to China and finish landing at Pearson Airport in Toronto when I'm coming back.
I ordered my notes on August 2nd and received it on Sep 1st so I think I will share some findings after reading the 168 pages long report. Overall it's straight forward basically covered all the moves from my EE profile created to July 26 - the last entry before they pulled info on August 10th
Keep elements I found useful are:
1. RICC works with USA for bio check, they sent a request to the states ask for a background check report, I assume this is because I hold a US B1/B2 Visa and I gave my fingerprints when I applied for that.
2. Due to my husband's inadmissibility, my case was frozen after the case analyst reviewed it back in May, until the issue was resolved and he received his ARC in mid July. Once it's reopen, or I should say its processing again, it seems they did criminal & medical check again (both of them were passed in Feb but notes shows it was check again in July under activities)
3. ARC, if anyone is inadmissible due to a Deportation order, they can apply for ARC to remove that, this often happens in the family spouse case or in my case, my husband. His situation caused I'm inadmissible for PR unless an ARC was granted to him. RICC first asked us to upload ARC application to my CIC account but after we did that they asked us to submit it by mail to a local VO. First I thought RICC was making a mistake by requesting it twice but notes shows, the first time they asked for uploading was because the case analyst wants to review it (just like they review Job history, the notes were the application is consistent with the LOE etc recommend to pass), then the analyst left a note in my profile (blanked), I assume it's for the local VO to read.
4. Security check, 3 pages was blanked out for that but like my assumptionbefore my SC started on July 26. I received PPR on August 15th, so it was about 3 weeks from SC started to the finish line. Again this estimation is based on my travel history (longtime living in China and Canada, and short vacations in US and Thailand). I can't tell if they conducted a SC for my spouse, he is not accompanied this time for the PR due to his job but he has a rather simple travel history too (living/working China Canada and Zimbabwe, vacation Thailand)
Again, I hope this can help you guys and keep think positive.
Atleast some information that it is being processed would be ok. But this is excruciating! [AOR: JAN 19th] It is already September. Shouldn't the volume for student visa applications reduced? If that was the holdup! ???
