Cool cool... So they must have verified work first, and then updated everything together... just a couple minutes apart. The thing remains that they had already verified your work beforehand, however much time they took and however diligently they verified.

My main point of concern remains work because for one company, I don't have pay stubs and there is no website...
I am assuming they have an internal network to verify such kind of work experience.
They didn't contact my company, according to the notes. They just validated the documents I provided, which was a work reference letter, pay stub, some other payment related things, and some internal newsletters showing anniversaries I had at the company.

Did you have a work reference letter? That's the thing they require. If you don't have that, it's an uphill battle to prove it.

hi all,


I have submitted my file on 28 nov 2018
my medicals were passed on 10-1-2019 (just a guess, as there is ghost email regarding update on that particular date)

eligibility: we are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements
background check: your application is in progress

can you plzz enlighten me with something, that howz my profile is going. good or bad?


and as I am working in marketing field, most of time I am on field. so do I have to wait in office for surprise checks??

Thanks and Regards
Nobody knows anything about your situation because you don't have a signature and you didn't provide the details that are in our signatures. Please look at @derkdsou or my signature for examples. If you're on a phone and don't see the signature below the post, turn your phone sideways.

Furthermore, you're in the wrong AOR thread.

This is getting really frustrating, there has been ABSOLUTELY no movement ever since I passed the medicals.

Any "analyst" here who could help a brother out with an educated estimate as to when there may be movement on the application?

Much appreciated.
If you lived in India, I'd estimate around May 30th for you. Since you live in Namibia, I really don't know, sorry.

I think the PPR is sent by the LVO, not by CIO where the app might be processed. For instance, my entire app was processed at CIO-Sydney, but I have to submit PPR to Ottawa, so that could account for the variance, since you have a different LVO.

Congratulations!

Congratulations. Please make a MyImmiTracker case for your PPR if you haven't already. It will help everyone else out.

I have a quick question about Annex A: There is no document attached to the email which I got. Do I just print it on word document and fill the info?
I copy/pasted the table to Word, enlarged it horizontally to fit on one page, and then filled it out in Word. I printed and signed.

Congrats!

It's already been answered. Certain case processing centers and visa offices specialize in certain kinds of applications, and IRCC has a system of distributing applications across its network of offices to spread out the workload. Also, there's not much to be gained from worrying about which VO your application is at -- that mattered before the overhaul of the FSW program in January 2015. What one can focus on is knowing the status of their application, and this can be done by calling IRCC or ordering GCMS notes.
@nagendrab0 @USProgrammer
no idea, maybe the expert here can explain this @USProgrammer :).

U should phone them. Ur application has most probably been sent to LVO pretoria as u live in Namibia but I might b wrong also. My app has been sent to LVO pretoria on 7th Feb which I confirmed with LVO by email n it's in a long waiting list I suppose
