Hello folks,
I have accepted my ITA in 19th April 2018. I am working in one organisation and shows the same as my employer in my application. Now I would like to change my job.

Do I need to inform CIC about this? If yes, what is the procedure for the same.

In what circumstances I can change the job?

As per the ImmiTracker for April AOR

Your application was Submitted on the 2018-04-02. In the best case you will receive your PPR on the 8 May 2018 in the worst case it will be the 1 January 2019. On average you should expect a PPR by the 12 July 2018.

Your application was Submitted on the 2018-04-09. In the best case you will receive your PPR on the 15 May 2018 in the worst case it will be the 8 January 2019. On average you should expect a PPR by the 19 July 2018.

Your application was Submitted on the 2018-04-16. In the best case you will receive your PPR on the 22 May 2018 in the worst case it will be the 15 January 2019. On average you should expect a PPR by the 26 July 2018.

Your application was Submitted on the 2018-04-23. In the best case you will receive your PPR on the 29 May 2018 in the worst case it will be the 22 January 2019. On average you should expect a PPR by the 2 August 2018.

Your application was Submitted on the 2018-04-30. In the best case you will receive your PPR on the 5 June 2018 in the worst case it will be the 29 January 2019. On average you should expect a PPR by the 9 August 2018.

We can rule out the best case scenario. As it doesn't seem to happen. So the best possible scenario is getting PPR mail by July or early August.

tks,

Hi there, Just kindly want to verify if IRCC has already sent ready for visa email to any of my emails or any email. Because i previously have 5 emails with IRCC and I’m worried if anything would trigger to send to any of the email that I don’t use anymore. Since last time I inquired, my Eligibility is recommended pass and bgc is in progress. Which I want to make sure that if the application will be granted ready for visa email, please kindly let me know which email address that you guys sent to. Thanks so much in advance.

(They ignored my question and instead tell me the status of my application. Which is what I would want to ask. I’m glad that this generic message appears before ppr usually days or weeks. If you google, some people would get a message saying your application is in normal processing times and I don’t have this in mine. And last time a December AOR guy HKV, he received this generic update from CSE early April and he got ppr by end of April. And it’s just the finalization before ppr)

This have been my point......The progress of applicants review does not seem to follow the conventional IP1/IP2 timeline that we all have studied and monitor. For instance, Wannanepr9090 submitted his/her application on the 29th of April and he is currently in IP2 while many that submitted earlier this month (myself included) are still in IP1. What does this tell us? Personally, I think the officer progressing out application might not follow the updating sequence while doing his/her job. I believe that early IP2 might just be IP1 as most persons who have moved to IP2 within 1 week after MEP still end up spending up at least 4 weeks in IP2 (which is the time it takes in IP1).
Well, its good we all are here.......Lets see how early IP2 and later IP2 compares to getting PPR.

Cheers guys!!
Very true. I went straight from AOR to MEP & IP2 on the same day. I've now been in IP2 for 3 weeks. Hoping for good news soon (as we all are) but I'm very aware that I may be without changes in my account until June/July or even August.

I noticed 2 more people got PPR's (within 18-20 days of the AoR).
They both are FSW-O, Indian passport holders living in US.

Congratulations to both of these fellas.
