Finally got the email yesterday!

AOR - 29th Jan
VO - infamous Sydney Nova Scotia
Ready for visa email - 16th Oct
Indian citizen - US resident.
Have to send passport to Ottawa for COPR

No Adrs. Never ordered notes. The wait has been long and tough. I had almost accepted that I was going to get some form of ADR or something to request clarifications. I called IRCC almost every 15 days. I always got the same answer - I.e. your application is being processed, everything looks fine but we need more time.

This group has been a tremendous mode of support to me. Appreciate everyone sharing their views, perspectives and providing hope to those who are waiting. Hope everyone gets gets it soon,

Congratulations. It is always great to see someone getting PR from CIO Sydney

After having given up all hope, finally got the Ready for Visa email yesterday…
AOR : 25th JAN , FSW-O
VO - Sydney, Nova Scotia
Medicals passed : 7th March
Biometrics : 12th march
Stuck in IP1 till Oct 11th.
Oct 11th - GU for IP2 ("we are processing your background check") & PPR received on same day

In the meanwhile -
July 24th - Wrote to Ralph Goodale's office (6 months after AOR and receiving no updates)
Was told "Eligibility NOT MET" due to work experience. But file is still open. Also, Criminality, background checks, nothing had been initiated.
From July 25th onwards called up IRCC agents almost every week/ once every 10 days till Sep 15th and one nice agent told me that the reason for not meeting eligibility was "insufficient proof for one year continuous work experience in primary NOC". I was expecting this as I am a freelancer who has worked with multiple employers with many overlaps between projects. I guess my work history was not easy for them to understand as it consisted of over 20 work reference letters over 3 years for several long term and short term projects. However, I did meet the continuous one year requirement for a certain period which I clearly mentioned in an LoE. Also, I have a solid work profile and there is enough press on my achievements online.
July 25th - Oct 8th - Sent 5 CSEs with LoEs attached between this period, trying to explain my case clearly, provide a simplified version of my work experience and doing the best I could to prove that I do indeed fulfil the eligibility criteria because I have one year of full-time continuous work experience in my primary NOC.
July 26th - Ordered 1st GCMS notes. Received after 60 days on Oct 1st.
Oct 3rd - Ordered 2nd GCMS Notes. Waiting to receive.
Finally got the PPR when I least expected it to come. I really thought I was in for a long wait or even a refusal.
Just wanted to share my experience here.

Review your last experience letter you submitted and compare the job duties to NOC code you selected. Try to include more details this time . Check if paystubs , tax return or joining letter/relieving letter was missing last time. You can add that information to make stronger experience letter. Rest please wait for experts to comment here.

By the way which is your visa office ?

Hi Guys, I got another ghost update today.
Earlier I got a ghost update on Oct 9 so emailed Erin W and he told me that my eligibility is finally complete and my application is waiting for the medical officer for "The medical examination results are on file and valid until January 2, 2020. As per notes on file dating from October 10, 2019, the responsible office is reviewing a possible extension of the medical results",
Today I got a ghost update and my medical result changed from "February 27, 2019 You passed the medical exam." to "October 17, 2019 You passed the medical exam."

Guys, could anybody give more details about Erin Weir(erin.weir.c1b@parl.gc.ca). Is the process of requesting information about application processing the same as for Ralph?

If I mailed Ralph 2.5 month ago can I just write Erin or I need to wait another 2 weeks?
