What is your Visa Office?

Some visa offices put BGC in process right away and then it takes a while before DM and PPR come, whereas others show BGC in process closer to the very end.

I don't think you have anything to be worried about.
My application was submitted in January and the application stayed in Mississauga. I don't have BGC-IP yet. I'm expecting it to come close to the end of the process.

yes Mississauga - heard it is moving faster - albeit sometimes. your explanation makes sense - so I am gonna relax & wait. thanks

Yes. I'm done with PCC, medical, and schedule A.

it may take up to 3 to 4 weeks before you see the next update.. you may get email regarding your file before you see any update on your file.. thanks

I think Mississauga is inconsistent with updating the background check status. There seem to be some on here whose applications are being processed in Mississauga who see BGC-IP early on and then there's a wait, whereas others have BGC, DM, and PPR within a few days of each other later on in the process. The spreadsheets also seem to confirm this. I hope for both of us that it's the latter, and once we see BGC-IP we will be close to the conclusion of the process.

I passed my medical on April 11 and submitted my pcc and sched A prior to that. No communication since?
Ecas changed to 'in Process' two weeks ago but we haven't received any transfer email or email stating they have started processing the application.
Waiting waiting...

Hi, good morning!

For Filipino applicants here, I received an email from IOM clinic about the pre-arrival program. Do we need to attend the program? Also, do we need to attend the PDOS at Comission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)? Thank you!

hello,

1- Do you guys know if Ankara is a busy visa office?
2- Does Ankara VO usually take a long time to process applications?
3- Once it is reached the Ankara VO, how long does it take, on average, for an application to reach its passport request status?

thanks

There's a report in the January thread of someone getting their CoPR already from the Ankara office. Their application was received in Mississauga on 8 January. Just one case, but seems to indicate they're quite fast:

The following info are merely some guesstimates & they could be very different from the actual dates.

Ankara’s average processing time for a typical application (Ballpark estimates):

1) The average time for BGC is 123 days from the day the application is received by Mississauga. Presumably, some VOs start BGC without reflecting that info on ECAS or CGKey accounts, whereas other offices may indicate the start of BGC on those accounts.
2) On average, the Passport Request happens in about 147 days from the date Mississauga receives your application.

Conclusion: For a typical Ankara applicant, the number of days from ‘received application’ to 'receiving passport w/ PR visa' is 162 days.
