Guys
After the hectic prep prior to ITA and AOR, suddenly feel there is nothing to do now!
Is there anything to figure out or be prepared for?

Feeling restless .. don’t know how to go through this wait :(

I agree :). Suddenly there is a void created and I am afraid till the time there is an update on MEP/BIL, this restlessness will continue.

I think we can make full use of our waiting time by learning the different migration stuff so we can be mentally prepared once we get PPR (hopefully!) and then we can easily decide where to land, rent a house, look for jobs easier. That is what I'm doing now, even watching all types of videos on youtube about Canada in relation to my target province. What to expect and what not to expect. A lot to digest in such a short period of time. I believe that after PPR everything will be hectic for all of us again with all the arrangements and preparation including resignation from work and all. Hence, I think the 4 to 5 month wait in between AOR and PPR should be used for this.

Do you guys have any other suggestions or topics you think I should research on?

That is a good start. I think the most difficult part is wait time from AOR to PPR since IRCC is not the best in terms of accurate status updates. Right now I am trying to search/learn different stages between these two milestones alongwith expected timelines. This might be helpful to lookout for whatever limited hints we get ( IP1, IP2 etc as people say) to avoid any misses like ADR. May be as and when the application progresses I will move onto the points you mentioned :). Good luck !!

Yes that is a good idea. But a lot of immigrant attorneys, consultants and even in people in forums are now saying that the CIC update on your profile for IP1 or IP2 is not reliable anymore. Even biometrics are not updated real time. So to keep your anxiety on the low, it is suggested that you wait for actual correspondence from IRCC. The online update should not be treated as an accurate indicator.

I plan to land in Toronto because there are lot of job opportunities. I will try to find some job in IT as soon as I land. Gain some Canadian experience, like a year or two and then move to some warmer place in British Columbia.

Thank you. What’s your plan?
Going to Vancouver, BC. My aunt is there. Will try to see the opportunity there. But open to moving to ON or Alberta for future opportunities.
