You have received passport request on the same day (April 18th) that you got notice that they are starting processing background check?. I have never heard of getting passport request before starting the important background check.

You are at the very beginning now. Biometrics will be any day now. It is done right after medical. Then after that it's criminality and security checks. Then eligibility assessment of the applicant. Thrn passport request. It's averaging 6 months now for most. The eligibility assessment is quick. But criminality and security go slow. So enjoy the wait.

Hi! To everyone who got their PPR already, does the principal applicant have to include my name (sponsor) to the Appendix B? We don't have a child yet. I'm confused if he has to include my name on the form, or just his name since he is the only one applying.

Thanks very much guys! Got PPR after almost 5 months. PA from Manila.

Hi again.

Can you share your complete timeline with us? I'm sponsoring my wife also from the Philippines so nice to have some ideas on times.

Cheers

My wife landed in Canada today!!

Woohoo. Glad to finally be finished.
5 months and 1 day after our application was received.

The landing in YVR was very easy and simple. I'd be glad to describe our landing experience later.

Good luck to everyone else and always stay positive.


What I don't understand is how can background check be started on the 8th March and decision made a day later? And then passport request just a couple days later? Is this possible that it's just the dates the ecas system was updated rather thrn actual dates things were done? Because in my case ecas is updated way after events occur. Like passing medical was 3 days after the medical were done but the system still not updated yet 1 month afterwards. I only found out she passed it by calling immigration call center.
Thanks for some possible feedback.

Once the gckey says that BGC has started, it means that all criminality and security check has been done and the app is for final review and most likely passport request. Thats the process from the notes that I got.

Hi
Can you tell me please how long does it take” reviewing of eligibility” ?
Do we receive any email about it or just the pre-arrival services?
Thanks

I guess it’s different for every case because I have had we are processing bgc since Feb however there is no line 2 stating the date on ecas. Not sure how things go by but complete silence since medicals passed early March is frustrating

Thats the process for CPCM. You will only get AOR 2 for ecas once it’s in Decision Made status.

But if youre forwarded to your local VO, it’s different. You will get AOR 2 when they start processing your app there.
