This means that you probably are under the comprehensive security check. Which means they've sent your application to several security agencies (CBSA, CSIS) and waiting for the results. Takes over 2 years for some people to get cleared, others get cleared within 3-6 months. Nobody knows exactly what's going on behind the scenes. Best of luck. I am in the same boat and hoping for the best.

EXACT SAME HERE, AoR Nov 28th 2022 and other dates are same.

Called IRCC and the agant told me that the VO office is Etobicoke and I'm not on enhanced SS.
They are waiting for Background verification and Eligibility is not stared yet maybe due to high volumes on that office.
They might re assign the application to other offices in the future.

Oh okay!! This whole process is terribly slow!!

Hey Guys!!!

I finally got my portal 1 email!!! It was received from Etobicoke Visa office. Tracker shows everything complete (Before that it was background - in progress and eligibility - not started). COPR number is also showing in the tracker. Three weeks back when i called IRCC, they said eligibility and security was not started and they sent a note to VISA office.

Please stay hopeful! You all will receive your portal emails soon. All the best!!

Question - My dependent who is outland, also received similar email to provide Canadian address and entry dates. Ideally, he should receive Passport request letter. What should I do in this case?

Thank you all, you guys made this wait a little more bearable!!

Thank you for sharing the information.
But I’d like to know the date when your application was redistributed to Etobicoke.
Because I think the date is relevant to the processing time.
If you don't mind, can you please share the date with me?
For mine, it was redistributed to Etobicoke at the beginning of March from Sydney VO.
I wonder why I don't get any update at all.

It was always Etobicoke. Even I am not sure why the status says it was transferred. I ordered GCMS notes 2 weeks back. I will have more details once i receive the notes.

Nice! Congratulations!!

You can reply on that Portal 1 email and state that you are in Canada (and provide them with all the details they need) and then add that your dependent is not in Canada so please send them a Passport Request Letter.

How long have you been waiting?

 

[SSR88]

I have a letter from my employer which shows I worked from June 6, 2022 to April 21, 2023, and mentions I was working 40 hours a week.

Now my paystubs show I was working biweekly a total of 70 hours in two weeks.

My hours are recorded in the paystubs and in few of the biweekly pay stubs my hours did not meet the 30 hours a week as I was on leave.


However, my reference letter says I was working continuously from June 6, 2023 to April 21, 2023 and does not mention any leaves taken.

Would this matter ? Or should I continue on the basis of my reference letter to count 1560 hours ?
