He1g@ - I also have same issues, my ref letters are undated. What exactly did the agent mentioned on your notes concerning this? Do you mind sharing?
I can’t say it was a “concern”. It’s just
“letter dated Not indicated appears to confirm employment in declared occupation”
So when we asked an agent on the phone if we should submit the new letter via CSE with the date on it he said that we can, but he can’t guarantee that it will be reviewed. He said that it is better to submit new documents only if it’s requested directly from them.
I hope it is not that big of a deal since all the duties and dates are in the letter. But we ordered another GCSM notes just in case - to see if something changes in a month.
Darn, what a stupid mistake, I can’t believe we missed it :-(

Only the progress bar keeps changing everyday...nothing else changes....BG is yet to be started and it shows 55 days remaining...no change since December 6th after MEP. IRCC should stop issuing new ITAs until they complete processing the existing applications

Hi,

I am 19th a November AOR, and my application is being processed at Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Anyone else in the same boat? And info as how is the processing at this location?
Nov 16 AOR, Sydney as well. I guess they are pretty good since my medical passed, eligibility met and background in progress within 2 to 3 months. But it varies by the application too.

Hello everyone!
We just received our GCSM notes (took 31 days).
It says

Eligibility: Met

As I understand it is not the same as “Passed”, right?
Is it to soon to relax?
Hi , I also missed the date of issuance on letters. But time period is mentioned property for job duration. Could u pls share the notes by analyst. Thanks in advance. And congrats for meeting eligibility

What else apart from reference letter did you submit as proof of employment , I attached previous two years tax documents and two payslips. My Aor is 20 November and will be getting notes on 20 March . Little worried

Sad but I agree with it!! I know people are again going to say I am bickering here but if you actually look at the previous AOR threads, there are actually many folks from August and September who are still waiting for PPR!!

They are way past the estimated processing time and even phone calls and raising CSEs are not much helpful. What's even worse is there is still December, January and February AORs to go and soon you can also add March to that list. They will either need to hire more staff or have more and more 3 week gap draws.

Also, be prepared for next month, as IRCC will be on a long weekend holiday for Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Honestly, there is nothing much you can do. The more you think about it, its just causes more stress. I have even decided to completely forget about the whole process, I'm freaking losing my hair and by the time my PPR comes I am sure I will probably go bald lol :p

I would suggest that you forget about your Canada processing timeline for a few weeks and focus on other things in life. It will certainly help otherwise it will eat you up.

Honestly, looking at the current trend I wouldn't expect any good news for majority of us atleast till next month :)

Will the BG change to NA or something else and shows again as We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information when we enter IP2 ?

You may move to IP1 or could get PPR directly.

These days many folks jump to IP2 after MEP and some get PPR without going to IP1. So IP1 and IP2 are pretty much irrelevant
