Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

[primeTime83]

Hi,
Checking in if anyone has good next steps for my case
I have an AOR date of OCt 7th 2018. When I submitted, my India PCC was not available. So I informed IRCC about the same.
Nov 7th they asked for the PCC and I uploaded the document on Nov 9th.
They did acknowledge the receipt of the document as well.

However its been 5 months since and no action has been taken on the application.

I called their call center and they asked me to be patient saying 20% of the cases do take additional time.

The case is being processed at Montreal.
Any one with a similar case and can shed light on what other options I have to followup on the case.

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
PT83

Hi @gv58

May I ask when did your Background Check started? And any idea how many days from Background Check to PPR?

Thank you

 

[gv58]

oh wow congrats!
Based on that, I can see how slow Vancouver office is. Emmmmm so I have another 2~3 weeks of waiting...

Yeah from what I've heard, it's a very small office located at Hornby street in Downtown and I guess they are overwhelmed. You should be getting the request pretty soon.

Thank you

Since I'm Inland my background check went to " in process or IP2" on the same day as passing my Medicals ( Aug 15th, 2018).

Since I'm Inland my background check went to " in process or IP2" on the same day as passing my Medicals ( Aug 15th, 2018).

Is that only for inland applicants or is it a Montreal thing? I'm US-based and I was also moved to "in process" or ip2 upon passing medicals.

Thanks @Canmatbay . Did you receive the ppr in your cic account? if so then did you get any email that there is an update in your account or you just logged in casually and saw your ppr?

Hi @Lyra,
Received an email that there is an update to your account.
When I logged in there was request letter in the profile.

From background check to PPR varies depending on whether one is inland or Outland applicant.

For Outland applicants it has recently been very quick. For most within 2 days. For others within a week.

Much longer for inland appliicats unfortunately. Can't exactly point out an exave timeline but 2 months is not uncommon I believe.

Hey guys sorry for being MIA I travelled back home and I have been trying to get set up (I have a lot of respect for anyone that had to do an application from Nigeria or any country with slow/unreliable internet). I ordered my second set of GCMS notes and I need your help/advice.

The notes are 36 days apart and had about 4 pages difference between them. I am on review required for statutory questions and based on what people are saying in other forums (June and July AOR’s) you need to be proactive with RR’s. I have no idea what to submit to help (I had visa refusals for visitors visas to the US and UK when I was <18; I wasn't the principal applicant).

I am most concerned with the Selection EE-Econ status that changed from review required to cancelled. Does anyone know what ‘Selection EE-Econ’ means?

Here are the sections that are different in the 2 notes. I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance for any replies and I'll go ahead and apologize for slow responses.

for eligibility review on statutory questions, you don't need to worry. It goes away itself with time in pretty much all cases.

Hello everyone! After weeks of being silent, I received the beautiful landing interview email today. I was teary-eyed at work lol. Couldn't believe it was happening.

Just wanted to thank this thread for everything - the inspiration, the hope, the camaraderie. You all have been a wonderful bunch - the happiest, positive, kind and loving group of people I have met in this forum Thank you to the seniors for all that you do and @cansha for starting this thread and to each and everyone who all have been part of this journey. Most especially, thank you God for all the blessings.

To everyone still waiting - be hopeful and believe. Be proactive, order GCMS notes and if you have questions on your file, send additional documents. What I have learned from Montreal Visa Office, is to make sure you have everything - complete documents, correct explanation and GCMS notes information. You all are doing great and in time, you will receive the beautiful letter and PR approval

cougprey, just letting you know that statutory questions will clear in no time. Don't worry. Everything will fall into place
