Wow congrats!! So when did you actually receive the mail if you found it in your spam? Did it actually take 8 months and 2 weeks or that is the time until when you found it?

I received a ghost email on Friday.
I did not care about it, because I was thinking nothing will happen.
Today, I checked my inbox and found no new email. However, there was a new email in my spam.
The email was sent yesterday (June 13).

Thank you guys!
:D
Well, I have a friend who submitted his application 3 weeks after me, and I knew that we supposed to be almost on a same timeline.
However, he got the PPR email, 1.5 months ago.
I called CIC 3 time after that:
- First time, I was told that they cannot provide me with any updates until September!
- Second time, I was told that the application is still under security screening (I already knew it from my GCMS notes).
- Third (last) time, it was 3 weeks ago. The agent somehow told me this might be the reason of similarity of my name with people having BG issue. She suggested me to send an email to CPC-Ottawa and explain the situation. So, I prepared a long email with all the Police Certificates I have since 5 years ago. I also sent them my study permits, student visa, Post Graduate Work Permit, and everything that could help them to dig into my BG.

I also had touched base with a MP, and people in his office was following up my application (saw a note on the second GCMS note).

That's all!

I tried not to think about it, and finally got it!

BTW, do not forget that "it's always darkest just before the dawn".

Congratulations!

I have a question...

Just realised that our medicals expire in 2 months. We are Ontario PNP applicants with 6th October AOR. Our application has been in Pretoria since 26th October and have no idea when it will be finalised. Does anyone know what happens if our application is not finalised by then? Really hope this is not the case. We were asked for PCC's in February even though we had submitted them with our application so just hope we don't need to redo medicals.

Hoping for good news soon!

I believe one can extend medicals by another year by submitting a CSE online. I don't suppose we have to redo the medicals if we get it extended by another year. I'm also facing the very real possibility of having to extend it because my medicals is expiring in November.

By the way, do you post in that other SACanada forum?

Really frustrating. My file is also in Pretoria for almost 8 months. Now I relocated to my home country and raised a CSE immediately but my file still contains all old address and not updated with new contact details. Call centre agent told me that Pretoria office should do necessary change and transfer it to my nearest LVO. She told me to keep patience and wait another 15 days for something from Pretoria LVO

Just bumping up this questions from yesterday: does anyone know the processing time for getting bridging open work permit for people waiting on the EE PR?
Also having waited for 13 months and a week, does anyone remember anybody waiting more than 14 months? I remember a user here reporting a 14 month wait time until s/he got the PPR. I seem to be the second record holder right now.

Having entered the 14th month of waiting, and as I'm getting closer to the end of my current post-graduation work permit, I applied for a BOWP today. Does anyone know how long it takes to get BOWP? The CIC website doesn't show the processing times for this specific type of work permit extension.

I sent an email as per CIC's suggestion for applications that have passed the expected processing times (i.e., 6 months for EE). They replied saying we have received and confirmed your information, your application is in process.

Any idea how much longer do i need to wait approximately?
I am planning to travel, do i need to inform CIC?


Thanks a lot!

I had been waiting for more than 10 months after 2 AORs. I have never been asked for PR request fee. Background check also not started yet. My agent sent an email and got a reply that 'there is no maximum processing time limit'. What should I do?
