Hi, congratulations email everyone on getting ur ITA and AOR too.
Can someone please share the documents checklist sent by CIC. Am still in the pool, and waiting for my Consultants to start the process for me. I am collecting a lot of documents and not sure whether all that is really required.
So please share a screen shot or format of the checklist CIC sends after ITA.
Thank you very much for the help. Really appreciate it..

Hi Guys,

Starting thread for those who have AOR in September 2017 - please join for discussion and knowledge sharing.

There is already a watsapp group for September AOR - please leave a request (dont share number, just a request saying: add me to watsapp) and i will send you an invite link.

Below I will post some information which you may find useful going forward.

Some FAQ:

Q: How to find my visa office?

A: Send E-mail to: CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
Subject: E000xxxx - Visa Office
Body of the mail:
Hello,

I am trying to find out in which Visa office my application is being processed?

Application number: E000xxxx
Date of Birth: 19xx-xx-xx
Last Name: xxx
First Name: xxxx
UCI: -
Category of Immigration: Federal Skilled Worker

Q: Can you explain background status changes (by other forum member, not my):

A: Background statuses explained:

There are two different things. Application status remains in process until we complete stamping.

Regarding BG status - It will go through different stages and let me try to make it clear to you to avoid any further confusion.

Prior to March 7, CIC used to maintain the below BG status.

  1. Not needed at this time (NN)
  2. Not Started (NS)
  3. In Progress (IP)
After March 7, they paraphase the above status as follows.

  1. Not Applicable (NA) ( Old Status :: NN)
  2. Next to step to conduct BG Check (NBG) (Old Status : NS)
  3. In Progress (IP)
People in the threads are using the above status interchangeably. So, don’t get confused.

Now as far as BG process is concerned, it will go through the below trends. I’m using new status words for your reference.

Trend 1: NA -> IP -> NA -> IP
Trend 2: NA -> NBG-> NA-> IP

Some people who are submitting RCMP along with eAPR follows Trend 2 and rest Trend 1. I may not be 100% accurate. But this is what I noticed for CEC Inlanders.
Once the applicant at IP(2), he can expect PPR anytime soon.

Regarding at what stage BG will change??

STAGE 1:: After we submit our application, the BG status would be NA and it will be there until we see a change in Medical status (Passed).

STAGE 2:: After medical update is done, then agent at CIO will change our BG to IP or NBG. Then, he will start R10 check, Criminal checks.

STAGE 3:: After the above checks are done, then he will change BG to NA and our file moved to next stage for Eligibility assessment (A11.2) . Once he/she feels that we are meeting the Eligibility then he/she will provide his/her recommendation to Visa Officer and initiate the Security Clearance. At this point only our file will be moved from CIO to CPC.

STAGE 4:: Officer at Local Visa Office (LVO) will review the recommendation, Security clearance reports. Once he/she satisfies then he/she will approve the recommendation. Then our BG will be changed to IP again. This is where PPR(Passport Request) mails triggered to applicants.

I will post more as we progress.

Thanks!
Hi Andy,

I am May 26th AOR and maybe this is not the right forum for me to put down my query but as per your post above, we should be getting PR as soon our BG changes to IP2. Delay in PR could be long security check.

But my BG changed to IP2 on Aug 1st and I have emailed them twice, once on 31st July and then on 29th August. Both times they have only confirmed that our file is at CPC Ottawa and cannot confirm when it will be Ready for Finalization. They have never mentioned about any additional verification in the emails.

Can you please explain what could be the possible reason for delay? What exactly do they mean by 'Ready for finalization'? Will our file be reviewed again and then finalized?

Strangely many of us are stuck at IP2 reason

I guess you are PNP?

There are a lot of PNPs who were/are waiting in IP2 for a prolonged periiod of time, without any sort of additional security/background checks. I am saying mostly PNP, but there are also some non pnp who were subject to similar, more rarely, but they have.
