CEC August 2018 Applicants
- Thread starter alldrops
- Start date
I'm actually surprised to hear so many people from August still waiting! Like @Aize said, there's pretty much nothing you can do but wait patiently. Stay positive and hopefully you hear from CIC soon!
I think you must apply to extend your work permit if it's expiring within 3 months. Just double check on the CIC website.
Good luck, everyone!

As long as u apply before ur current one expires. But I wish I had done mine earlier so I can apply for a re entry visa because I need for it to be approved before I can apply for a visa.
Hello my friend see link below for reference;
Approved in principle / Approval in principle (AIP)
Your application is “approved in principle (AIP)” if:
- you have received a letter from IRCC stating that you meet the permanent residence eligibility requirements, but
- you still have to pass the medical, security and background checks for you and, if needed, your family members.

Hey guys....
I applied using an agency under CEC system back in August 7, 2018... It has been 8 months by now and I have never heard anything from CIC- no additional documents required, no news, no updated...
Medical passed in September and last time I call CIC in March, 2018, I was advised that my file was still in the Criminality check since August 28th, security check hasn't even started....
I am so frustrated as I couldn't do anything- like change my jobs or travels during this time.
Only god would know how much longer I will have to wait- although my case is quite straight forward, got an degree and three years of working experience in Canada, inland applicant.
I heard rumor that if we submitted the GCMS notes it might help to remind CIC about your cases, hence fasten the process... Has anyone experienced such a long timeline like myself? any suggestions about the GCMS notes? I'm more than happy to connect and share the long wait period with you. It is such a desperate waiting game for all of us

Hello I am in the exact same predicament as you are in. submitted mine on august 1st. Been in canada since 2011, went to uni and been working post graduation. I suggest you dont stress about it. I think there is a backlog in the system. It will come out eventually. I spoke to an agent that told me that they received the highest number of CEC applicants last year and they are overwhelmed.Dont worry you are close to the finish line!Hey guys....

Hi everyone,
I am in the exact situation as the above conversation. My AOR was on 19 August (almost 8 months ago), medical passed immediately and I had two additional document request after that. The last one was 2 months ago and I took action immediately. No updates after that.
I already sent a webform request for updates about my application. If you guys know of any other way to follow up with the application update please let me know. I thought of calling the immigration but I could not find any number.
I have another question and I would appreciate if anyone can answer. My question is I am not sure on which stream I applied (nothing is mentioned on my application). I only know that I was eligible for Canadian Experience Class. I applied for BC PNP and I got 600 extra points on my express entry profile. Then I finished my application as I was instructed by the online forms on express entry. Now I am not sure if I am under PNP Inland or CEC. I need to know this to be able to track similar cases on immigration tracker spreadsheets.
Thanks.
