Hi @cansha, I landed in Canada a few days ago and during my travel I had one connection so two flights: first flight goes to a city to another city outside Canada and second flight from one city outside of Canada to Canada. When I arrived in Canada and filled declaration card, SIN application form and signed COPR mistakenly provided the flight number of my first flight ( which goes from one city to another city outside of Canada) not the one that directly arrived in Canada so my COPR and declaration card have my first flight number on it. Is it something that I should be concerned about it? If yes, which one I should get corrected and who do I call? Thank you so much.
My best guess is it doesn't matter. But I have never seen any such case so may be call IRCC and confirm. You can also go back to airport and talk to CBP and check with them.
Thank you so much for your response. I called IRCC they told me to raise a web form. I will go back to the airport to check too.
I doubt anyone who answers webform would also know. Hopefully they will find someone who knows to answer it.
Hi All,
I received a "ROAST UPDATE"
yesterday, that they have high volume of applicants and are unable to assign an immigration officer to my case. The application is in queue for review. The update was in CIC account, this was after the customer service rep sent a message to the VO.
My AOR is March 18th 2019, FSW-Outland

Right now there is no problem with your profile based on what you have posted. If peradventure there is anything that requires a review, the best way for you to know this is to order a GCMS notes to see what the Analyst, Input Assistant or the case officers might be thinking which at best also sometimes are speculations. There is a lot of waiting game in this and especially if you are assigned Montreal, it gets ridiculous

Following are my details:
- AOR: 18th March 2019
- FWS Inland Applicant
- Ghost Updates: 18th Dec 2019 and 09th Dec 2019.
I have the following questions:
- I didn't get a passport request, why? Is it because I am an inland applicant?
- I also didn't get any updates in my application portal. It still says that we are processing your background check and eligibility. Is it normal?
- What should I expect in the landing interview?
- They also asked me to pay the right to permanent residence fee (RPRF), if I haven't paid already and bring the receipt to the interview. But I paid all the money upfront when I applied for the PR. In total, I paid $1040 (I am a single applicant). But the receipt that I have in the application portal only says that I have paid $1040. It doesn't provide any description in the receipt, like what did I pay the fees for. Please advise, as I have already paid the money?

Congrats.. PPR should be close .. in the past Montreal used to send ppr within hours of ghost update. Not sure what's the trend now but it should be soon enough.
Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you!!! PPR soon!!!
