July 2018 AOR - join here

[Steb1]

Going from MEP to IP2 is common for CEC-applicants - but I've seen it happen for FSW-applicants too...probably because you applied for visas before and there's good exchange of security information between Canada and the UK, they can progress quick with your application.

You are never required to provide a PCC for Canada - they will sometimes request it as ADR though if there's some doubt about something (e.g. name matches with that of a criminal) but this doesn't happen too often.

With AOR July 3 my guess is you may get PPR sometime in October My AOR is Juny 29 and I had my application approved August 30 (but still awaiting PPR mail).

Just stumbled across this post while searching the forum to see if my previous IEC visas might be causing my delay, perhaps Canada are taking their sweet time to ask me for fingerprints or RCMP PCC. GCMS notes ordered today, so we'll see. Anyways...the October estimate and speedy hopes have been long lost.

When I crossed the 6 month mark on Jan 16th I opened a CSE and emailed Ottawa. Ottawa replied on 17th, but no response from the CSE yet.

Bellow is the response for the CSE. Nothing new though.

Everytime i called today, at least 6 times, calling the "613 944 4400" number, dialed 1 for English and 1 again for Immigration concerns, it kept on transferring me to the same representative and she kept on saying you are calling the wrong department and when she would try to put me back in the IVR, it would again say "Soree, can't use this toll free number from your area". Can you please tell me how were you able to connect? Steps? I am not sure what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance bud!

From what location are you calling this number?

Hi all,
I am an FSW-Outland PR applicant (AOR: July 5, 2018) and I called IRCC on the 7th of January 2019 to ask about my application status. The agent told me that my file had been "cleared" in November. He explicitly mentioned that I passed my Eligibility, Security and Criminality and the file had been approved and is still in Sydney Nova Scotia, which he was confused too as to why that was the case. Post that I've been trying to call them again since last week, but after all the process in the end they say that due to heavy call flow my call cannot be transferred to a customer care executive. What should I do? Should I raise a webform? Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sona,

I got this email off the CIC website.

abu-dhabi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

All the best

Thanks Keith500

Yesterday I received email from CES is below, my application is in Sydney, 6 months passed still eligibility is not determined

You will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your permanent residence application under the Provincial Nominee Program.

• Your application was received at the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on July 20, 2018.
• The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if you and your family members if applicable meet the eligibility requirements under the class for which you have applied. You can expect to be contacted if additional information is necessary.

• The background verifications are currently in process.

@zohradevani I couldn't reply your pm (Is your profile private?).
To find out about the status of your apllication please order gcms notes. It'll help you know if there's any issue with your eligibility that's delaying things. It takes at least 30 days to arrive so order asap.
In the mean time call CIC And ask about the status of your eligibility, criminality & security calling with a virtual app that assigns you a Canadian number to ensure your call gets routed to an agent.
Search the forum for the number to call and any other info.

Hi all!
I finally got a reply to my CSE:

“We are pleased to inform you that your permanent residence application has been approved.”

So, I think this means I should just wait for the ppr email. I hope to get it soon.

July 16 AOR, got the reply in 5 days.

Hi All,

Atlast i got my GCMS notes after 2 attempts.
Looks like my file got transferred to CIO
I had hit my 6th month mark yesterday.
My background, security, criminality haven't started yet.
All my eligibility looks good suggested as recommended passed (review required : client information : (i have previously applied for paper based PR based on BC PNP, since i relocated to Ontario i withdrew my BC PNP, hence my PR got refused, so i have mentioned the same in my previous application record and have attached my BC PNP withdrawl letter in the client information page)).

At this stage would it be better to mail NS, Sydney for updates regarding my application. If yes, can anyone please provide me the email id?

Need ur valuable inputs

Raised CSE before, no use got generic reply.

Hi, send mail to Sydney office , the email id is 'FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca' and contact them on 16139444000. I called them yesterday on this number they updated me the same information which CSE sent email to me.
