November 2018 AOR - Join here

[SithLord]

Hi Guys, I asked this question a few days ago, does anyone have any feedback on this?

I am November 8 AOR, living in the US for the past 9 years. I called CIC last Friday and the rep told me that everything looks “Good”. I asked him as to why I still haven’t received a request to submit Bio-metrics and he said that we don’t need it from everyone.
Could anyone else share their experience? I am from Pakistan so I thought I still needed to give Bio-metrics even though its been close to 7 years since I have been back.

Any responses would be appreciated

Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe if you are living in US, I don't think you need bio-metrics.

bio metrics will be requested based on your country of residence and not passport

See even xycan agrees with me

yes

Yes relax and watch some good comedy movies . Everyone will get it eventually.

Yes, I have been watching movies and tv shows!! Can't wait to leave my job for good so I can do this on full time basis lol

Thanks for the advise.

Yes, I was stressed out a week ago!!! But now I seem to have eased out a bit. I just looked back at how I had struggled to get my ITA, I was literally in hell trying to improve my score. Quite a few people here know my journey. So compared to that, this waiting is nothing!! Atleast I am guaranteed to land in Canada whereas before I had no clue whether I would ever be invited!!

So I prefer this anyday!!

No one is easy. My problem is my age. Though I have PhD and L:8, R:9, W:7, S:7.5 of IELTS (You know it's not easy for Chinese with non-English college major, so you can imagine what I had been through), plus I have 0 CRS mark on age (therefore I go through PNP, and you can see the range of my age) . we have 1 newborn and 1 3-yrs daughters, you know how to change diaper each day for the younger one and teach the older one some Chinese characters? I just wanna make my daughters to stay in Canada, breathing fresh air of democracy. That's all my belief.

Let's try to encourage each other, not to complain for nothing. We are all hero.

Sorry, my IELTS should be L8R9W7S7 (my first ielts Speaking is 7.5), a bit lower than yours. I did IELTS twice. The first time I made a huge mistake on writing, only 5.5. I was in a rush and did not read the question carefully, and went to the other side. The 2nd time was really lucky, I seldom get 9 in Reading. PNP does not require 8777 scores, 6666 will pass the baseline to get provincial nomination. However I had to achieve as high as I can, given age is nearly 0 mark (my case if 6666 will fail).

Btw nice Chinese.

There's no such thing as'IP2'. The only thing that matters is that your application will be processed within 6 months after AOR.
其他的事真不重要。

AOR: 29th Nov 2018

I called CIC today. Had to wait for 25 mins in queue.

The agent was polite. He asked me few basic questions to very my identity and also asked me my contact details like phone no., email, address to update in the system.

He said Eligibility, Security and Background check are not started.

Visa Office is CPC-Ottawa. Nothing to worry as application is still within 6 months processing time.

I was actually planning to order GCMS notes in next week as it'll be 3 months from AOR. Now after the call would it be of any help to apply it next week or shall I give it more time?

You are still under 90 days. Wait for 100 days then order GCMS!!

Yes, it is very normal for nothing to start yet.

You can wait for sometime if you want, but eventually you have to order notes to see if your eligibility hasn't started or if it is review required?
