The problem is there is no clear processing steps that we can understand it. There are Jan and Feb applicants that received PPR but we are waiting. I sent everything completely and still waiting. I have ordered GCMS notes to see what's going on after 14 months but it takes 30 days to get it! last year my friends got their PPR in a year or less! no idea what happened this year! my background is still not needed

Application received- December 23 2015(PNP INLAND)
AOR- March 10 2015
Medicals received- November 2 2016

They are working on December applicants now. I called CIC today and the agent said my background check is in process. I check my CIC account everyday but it's showing " not needed at this time". At least I know they are working on my background check. All December applicants should be patient, they are on our security checks though it's not showing on my CIC online.

I hope so! I know the security is in progress but when the security passed they will forward your application to Ottawa for final process and that's when your background changes to in progress and the officer will do another round of background check and even asks for your CV (especially if your a student). I don't think that we will get PPR in 16 months as after background in progress people waited for at least 2 months.

Hey guys I just got off the phone with agent she told me that my all background and security checks are done and passed and my file is on final stage for a final review. But she told me I have to wait till April for my passport request cause I'll complete my 16 month in April. I hope she's wrong. Hope we all get through this long waiting soon.

Hey Pb15,

I am assuming you are a December 2015 applicant. I called CIC last month on January 13, 2017 and they told me the same but still no response.

I am little frustrated :'(

you are almost right I think but again you many of my friend got their DM within 15 months N the worst part is that Inland applicants have to wait like crazy even though we have been in Canada for so long

Landing experience with a car

Hey guys,

I did my landing this Friday and thought I would share my experience to make your lives a little easier. I understand that your experience might be considerably different than mine.

I decided to do my landing late Friday night, hoping it wouldn’t be too busy. With that in mind, I rented a car on Friday and started from Toronto around 0800 PM. I was there by 0930 PM. Once there I got on the Falls Avenue and drove up to the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge [43.091794, -79.071145] and simply got on the bridge with my car. Once I reached the other end of the bridge, I drove up to one of the manned check posts with the green light and let the officer in the booth know that I am here for Flag polling.

He seemed very familiar with the process, asked us to give us our passports. I had someone with me with a Canadian Passport, which wasn’t an issue. Once he looked at the passport, he called someone and gave us our passports back, and directed us to a designated area. We drove up to the pointed area and someone was already waiting there for us. He told us to park and wait in the car and left. Within 5 minute, another border security personal came out of the building, handed us a piece of paper [Administrative Refusal], asked us to follow him in the car while he walked up to a gate and opened it for us. This gate took us to a toll both. [Toll was 3.75 USD or 4.75 CAD.] We paid the toll and started driving back towards Canada.

At the Canadian Border, we stopped at another check post, and the officer asked us some routine questions and took the paper from me that I was given on the other side of the bridge. Once he let us in, we pulled over to the building, and went in. We were asked why we were there inside and told them that I am doing my landing. They asked my passport, COPR, and proof of address. I gave them the requested document, and the officer asked me to wait. It took them 15 minute to call my name, and once they did, I walked up to the officer; the officer asked me a couple of question and asked me to sign the COPR. Once that was done, I was given my documents back, and was briefed about what I need to do now that I have become a PR. Within a minute, I was walking out of the building as a PR. And it was 1020 PM, So, the whole process took less than an hour. Hope it helps.
