Hi,

I got an email today to pay the right of permanent residence fee?
Did anyone get the same email? Also, what are the next steps in the PR process?

I am November 1st applicant

I didn’t get that email. I think it’s cause I already paid the fees when I applied (I believe there was an option to defer paying it)
Did you pay it when you applied?

IRCC's term "Eligibility in progress," and "Review of eligibility" is very misleading, to me. It is not really something that is ongoing throughout the life of the application process, as the name would imply, but it is an actual step. Once your medicals have passed and background check is complete, THEN they start to review your eligibility. I have made it to SA, BCG pending, and my status in GC Key also still reads "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements."

When you say you have't heard back, what was the last communication you received, and what was its nature? If you are worried that your app isn't moving, try calling to submitting a Webform to check on its status.

The last official communication was that I passed the medical exam in April. According to GCMS notes, my application is pre-screened and "ready for decision maker". I didn't get a fingerprint request. That was end of July. I had a ghost update two weeks ago. That's it. We tried calling but we were just told to be patient. I'm very happy that a lot of people are hearing back, but I don't know why nobody got back to me yet if they already started processing November applicants. I don't think there's a lot we can do but be patient. I just hope there isn't another lockdown coming up that could slow things even further.

I just received the dreaded but anticipated "We need Proof of Relationship" letter today. Off I go to get those pieces collected, scanned and sent in!

Question for those that have submitted the same: How do you get everything into 1 uploadable file?

what? they need more proof at the last minutes?

Try at 8am EST. It always works for me. Usually the waiting time is less than 5 minutes at 8am. Good luck

@test1155 you paid the actual amount, OWP + (RPRF + Biometrics) = $255 + $1,125 = $1,380.
Infact you might be refunded for the biometrics payment, if you had paid it as I outlined here. So is likely that you recieved the system automated email but to be on safe side just RESEND your recipients to IRCC by webform. Goodluck

We all need to be patient. I am Oct 30 applicant and the last update on file was on early August that I uploaded FBI clearance and status of additional documents changed to Not applicable. Still waiting......

Yes, several of us October (and September) Inland applicants received this request towards the end of the application process. My guess is because they are not currently holding in-person interviews. It is probably up to the discretion of you IRCC case agent, as well.

Not quite sure what to expect or how long it’ll take before I get DM. Is there anyone who was/is in the same shoes?
How long did it take before you got your DM.

I believe @Amy23 said that DM takes a couple of days after SA/AIP, and COPR a few days after that. Hopefully you should see more movement next week.

They sent my CoPR this afternoon and I’ve gotten my DM as well (such a pleasant surprise )
Thank you and everyone for answering questions and updating the forum.
I wish you the best
