Haha yes, IKR. I was worried about the same and rechecked my ITA . In my ADR, I attached my ITA as well to make it further clear. On Friday, The status of additional documents changed to - The additional Documents you submitted have been uploaded.
Hoping to see further updates soon.
Looks like the document got accepted. I received an email yesterday, stating “We successfully received your documents for Application number xxx” and when I logged in to my GC key today I see this-
Final Decision - 10th July, 2023: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
No change in the tracker yet.

Was going to move at the end of April, but I was dealing with an emergency till a few weeks ago. I now will move at the end of Aug or September.

Being stressed out because of job, housing, etc is perfectly okay. Have you considered any of these options to make your transition easier?
1. Getting a job pre-landing
2. Soft landing to get a job, rental, etc and then bring everyone (if you have dependants) once you feel comfortable
3. Leveraging friends and family to help you settle - it might sound a bit more, but it makes a huge difference if there's someone helping you(e.g. renting a friend's house/room, etc)
4. Talking to professionals from your industry, holding similar job titles or higher to benchmark your skills and comp expectations
5. There are realtors who work exclusively with newcomers - they might ask you for 4-6 months of rent in advance, but can solve a part of your settlement

I've a job so that makes it easier to think about where to live, what to rent/buy, etc.
Wow, thats awesome getting a job prelanding. I tried indeed.ca but it seems not having a ca phone number limiting my success. I'll try the other suggestions, being a family of 3 makes it ever more so overwhelming. Thanks.

Yes, not having a phone number definitely will hurt your chances. You can get a virtual Canadian phone number to bridge the gap.

I don't know what job title/industry you are from, but if you are in tech, product, marketing, growth, customer success, sales, etc - I'd highly suggest joining communities to start your journey. Most people in these spaces can easily land jobs within a few weeks of landing or even before landing.

Do let me know if there's anything I can do to help out as well. Will be happy to reach out to my network and pull recommendations if I can.

For people who got the RFV emails. May I ask how long did it take from having BGC and eligibility completed in tracker to getting the golden mail? It looks like there is a final review period and mine has apparently taken more than 2 weeks. I am getting a little bit worried here.

Wrote this in April AOR thread yesterday:

>After all the 4 steps(MEP, BIL, BGS, and Eligibility) are done, your application is sent for a final review. Then a decision is made and the communication(portal, RFV, PPR) is sent to the applicant.

You have nothing to worry about. They can only choke your application for a few more weeks or months now, but they can't reject your application. In fact, rejection doesn't really happen at this stage. You'll get a PFL at best, which you should've received during either BGS or Eligibility.

If you got no PFL/ADR at that stage, you are unlikely to get one now as those stages are over.

Thanks @iSaidGoodDay for the reassurance. I hope that there is no PFL.
I was rejected in an earlier EE application due to NOC misalignment and I corrected it in my current application. (Both are actually teer 1, and the job requirements and duties are pretty similar. ) I submitted a LOE as well as a more detailed work verification letter this time. I am worried that they might linger on that issue again for an extended period of time.

The cool part about "All completed" stage is that you were cleared of possibilities of a PFL or ADRs. Hopefully, your email will arrive soon! :)

Is there any background info that you might've missed earlier? Getting a Schedule-A is common and there are VOs that appear to be requesting ADRs a lot more compared to others. It is standard, although while filling in Schedule-A, make sure you include gaps, refusals, etc type info that folks often miss.

I don't know what you got IMM 5604. Do you have a non-accompanying dependent listed in your application?

Thankyou for your response

I am very sure I did not miss any information and I don't have any non accompanying dependent as well
