I joined it, then it seems a scammer joined too through online Link and sent a dating ad, so i left..usually when a spammer joins a group they'll collect all the numbers in the group and start spamming all.. here is much better
So our PPR details:
Apirl 26: AOR
May 2: MEP
May 2: IP1
June 26: Called CIC and was told that my VO is Montreal (First time to hear that). Something told me that this location doesn't seem encouraging....It didn't sound like Ottawa (LOL). And as I thought, not even criminality was passed after 2 months. Eligibility, of course, was not started
July 11: Called CIC again and nothing seem to have changed
July 11: Ordered GCMS
August 10: Got GCMS and what the agents said were true. Nothing has happened. Just the R10 check which they, funny enough, flagged my RCMP report that I voluntarily submitted for additional review. I have already seen that everything is fine (as I have the result with me), yet the officer wants additional review. Then, review of my wife's statutory questions (she was refused OWP twice)......I wasn't surprised about this!
August 10: Called CIC and I was told that my eligibility is in process......I didn't get the clue to order another GCMS as the Eligibility was done on the August 6 which the GCMS did not cover.
I decided not to call CIC again out of frustration although hoping to call on Sept 10 if I don't hear from them...........
Sept 11: I was buys and could call the previous date. I woke up and saw my friends (he applied 2 weeks before us) text message that he got the PPR. Hence, I said I will wait for 2 more weeks before I call. However, my wife pushed I call earlier which helped eventually!
Sept 19: I called CIC twice. The first agent was not useful and the second agent even was worse. I pushed to know if my eligibility was recommended passed or for additional review. Both agents could not answer the question. I am not sure if they knew what those terms meant or they couldn't read from the computer. Then I realized that I was on my own!
Sept 20: 2nd GCMS ordered
Oct 22: GCMS arrived. Behold, there was a review required (It confirmed that the agents don't know what they were doing). For some reason, the case analyst claimed that I did not include my teaching assistant (TA) job description which was in the letter I submitted. I couldn't bear that. Even at that, he/she did not add the 2 NOC's that I used which other case analysts had done. Well, God still favored me as my primary NOC (which was just used for my CRS calculation) was sufficient. The analyst wrote that I meet the requirements........but flagging for additional review was what I didn't understand
Oct 24: I sent an unsolicited CSE starting that I have enough points and the TA job was for just completeness of information. That since the TA job is causing additional review, that they should remove it from my history. However, if they can't, I have attached a more detailed TA job description.
Oct 29: I got acknowledgement that the CSE I submitted was received and have been forwarded to the appropriate VO.
Oct 31: I called CIC and the agent killed me. Having explained all the disappointments with wife's OWP refusal, long distance marriage, and the 6 months processing time that has been exceeded, she said that there is nothing she can do. In her statement "If you feel you have waited for long"! I almost lost my patience but I knew that I will be the one to loss (maybe a bad note in my account) if I say something drastic.
Nov 1: I went to the MP's office. During my discussion with the office manager, she even tried to convince me that ordering GCMS have caused the delay of my processing. Well, that was the fallacious information the call center would have fed them......so no need trying to convince her otherwise. She actually called CIC and was told that they haven't started my security and criminality. That eligibility is still in progress but that I have enough points............so we should wait.
Nov 7: During the daily Mass, I asked the Lord what was going on as it was becoming unbearable. After Mass, I was busy in my Lab working and noticed that I have a message from CIC. When I logged in, it was a request letter. I thought it was for passport.......it was marriage photos request.
Nov 8: We submitted the ADR......56 pages!!!!!
Nov 15: I could not rest well.......So, I called CIC and the lady still behaved like all the agents. She quoted wrong dates for the submission of the ADR. According to her, I have to wait for long as my criminality and security have not started yet. That my eligibility cannot be passed until I pass both criminality and security. She even told me that there is nothing they can do till April 2019. That made me to write a letter to the VO about my ADR submission which I submitted via CSE.
Nov 16: I woke up to see an email notification......logged in and it was PPR just for my wife. Happily, I just called CIC to hear from the horses mouth, what next I should do about my own landing The lady told me that it was a wrong email (What!)........that it was supposed to be for me instead of my wife. I was just laughing (as I already learnt from this thread). I asked her to please confirm this information she was giving me. Well, she came back and apologized! She then said that my local CIC office will contact me for my landing within 4 to 6 weeks.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this. You can write a book on your experienceOne moral of the story is DO NOT TRUST THE AGENTS!
@kapahulu please what did your note say when it arrived? My elligibility requires review and im looking to receive gcms notes at the end of Nov. Just curious what your notes said
Wow wow! Very exhaustive post. Thank you for taking the time to write it @Rijo02 . I have learned some things from your post. Congratulations again.
So does it mean that security and criminality can be passed within a week? Then why do they waste so much time.

Hi,
Need help on next steps! What other documents should I provide?
I just received my GCMS notes. Request was raised on 16th October 2018.
AOR: June 8, 2018
Last update on my file: June 26, 2018
Status: Review required as work experience could not be verified
I worked with Wipro for 3 years (Major chunk of my experience under NOC applied for). I was denied experience letter on letterhead by HR and concerned teams stating that Wipro has stopped issuing such letters since 2015. I have email confirmation of denials and same was provided to IRCC. I have also provided
1. salary certificate
2. standard service letter with date of joining and designation
3. letters from my manager and architect (on white sheets) along with their business and ID cards.
4. Letter of explanation stating the reason for not providing roles and responsibilities in IRCC format
5. Pay stubs
But, the analyst has stated that since he/she could not verify years of Wipro experience, my points for work experience appear to have fallen to 25 from 50. I am not sure what other documents could be submitted
Original Points: 475
Cut off : 456
As per analyst current points: 450
Notes from analyst:
"PA provided a letter of explanation as to why she cannot obtain a reference letter with job description from her employer. Employer email on file explains they have stopped issuing these type of letters since 2015. Therefore, work experince cannot be confirmed."

I put part of my note in my previous post, you can take a look. My eligibility is "review required" as well, but when I looked into the details in the notes, it should only refer to my STAT question. So my eligibility is actually fine, no issue based on the note. Did you answer "yes" to any of the STAT questions? If yes, it might be the reason for "Review Required". So don't worry and wait for the note.
@Rijo02 congratulation again !!!! I wonder how and to which address you wrote the letter on Nov 15 to VO? Cause I am thinking I should do that too. Agent on calls didnt help, they just want us to patiently wait for the time to come. I just called today at lunch time after your good news, they said my application is still under verification....
It is great to see the April list turn all green but at the same time I feel scared too
@annevn8......Just address your letter to VO Montreal and send it using CSE. They will match it to your account which automatically gets to the VO. When exactly the VO will look at it will depend on lots of other factors! Just to say, you have nothing to be scared of. The PR is yours provided you have provided all they need. Its just a patience game.......I am so impatient, that is why they could get me so easily. But talking to persons and praying helped me a lot!
#youwillbefine
In the passport request letter, they asked my wife to submit an updated family information. Specially, they asked she filled the IMM008 and Additional Family Information forms. I was able to get the Additional Family Information forms but the IMM008 has different versions. I am not sure the exact one to submit. Please can someone who have experience advise! Thanks
