Hello guys,
I am aor 7th march cec, inland with spouse
Med and bio done two weeks after.
Since then no updates! Few ghost updates on the profile but never received an email!
I got my bowp approved 23rd june!
Anyone similar details ?
I am planning on going out of the country in 2 months.. my question is: lets say I get the PR approved within the next 2 month ( hopefully) even tho I would not have my pr card can i leave the country ? Is there a way ? Or different possibility; I am out of the country and get my PR approved can I still come back just like that or do I do paper work for that ?
Does anyone knows anything about it ? Or ever experienced it themselves ?
Thanks kindly :)

Depends on what IRCC wants to do. Some are passed same day, some 2 weeks, some 1 year. My eligibility and criminality passed Oct 2020 and I’m still waiting for security to start. What’s your AOR. If it’s sometime this year, you’re in luck

My AOR is 2021.05.04.
Why have not they start your security check?
Have you tried to call IRCC? Which office is processing your application?

Hey guys,
It is extremely nerve-wrecking. I have too many life decisions to be made upon my immigration status, and all of that delay is upsetting and frustrating. COVID-19 was a major factor, but I cannot understand how some applications in 2021 are finished while many 2020 applications are struggling in stages for long. I am sure there are lots of people like me, if not worse.

My case: CEC-inland
- My AOR was Oct 2020,
- Med passed November 2020
- Did not need biometrics
- Eligibility: passed on May 1st
- Criminality: Started -in progress since May 1st, I was requested to provide RCMP with a deadline of June 6th. It took RCMP more than a month to send it to me.
Requested extension of RCPM submission deadline on June 4th 2021
Submitted the RCMP once received on June 16th 2021
Got a reply to my letter of explanation on June 23rd about approval of extension, as if my submitted RCMP was not even seen by the officer.
so I sent RCMP again on June 23 2021

- Info sharing: in progress
- Security: Not started

I truly see a lot of delays for truly bizarre reasons, and seeing other 2021 applications with their COPR given makes me wonder what is really going on. At some point this backlog will cause extra backlogs since delay means: needing to renew med exam, RCMP, etc further and further.

I hope after all this wait, I receive the good news of approving my case. I was optimistic after knowing that my eligibility is passed. the game of waiting and endless patience is truly upsetting and nerve wrecking
Hi there how did you submit your request for the extension? Due to covid the RCMP processing time are longer, and I am going to miss the deadline they provided me. Thank you

Did you get the approval? If yes when and how long it took for you? I'm in similar situation as yours.

I have completed RCMP too.

Anyone know biometrics is use for Criminality or Security check? I gave biometrics on Oct 14th, called IRCC today, get:
- Criminality: passed
- Security: not started
When did they finally start your security check? What was the duration between your criminality being passed, then your security check and getting your final decision? Thanks in advance.
