Hi everyone,

I applied for my PR in Jan 22, after almost 20 months, 2 days ago I received a request to provide some missing information, I submitted the updated Scheduale A form and the day after that I received a letter "Invitation to Pre-arrival services " which starts with" We are currently processing your application for permanent residency. You now qualifyto receive pre-arrival services to help you prepare for your new life in Canada. These services are only available to you before you enter Canada. "

Its funny cause I'm already in Canada! its been 4 yrs. Was wondering what does this mean? whats the status of my application. will I receive my CoPR soon? does anyone else receive such a thing?


Thanks
Hi brother. Did you get any update after you get pre arrival letter?

This is really long time. More than 3 years. Did you call ircc to make your application flag? And did you contact local parliament member? Im sure there should be reason. You have dependant over sea? You applied online?
I have called many times and had MP involved but no luck at all. Their answer is application is still under processing. No, I do not have any dependant. My background is still pending, I have never been involved in any activities, and I have never even gotten police tickets.
I have contacted Csis a couple of times as well but no luck. Canada is westing of time.

Pre arrival letter is standart process even you already in Canada. You should wait for pr portal request. Actually im also jan 2022 applicant but in my application they say eligibility is still under process. When you passed eligibility? They sent any letter about eligibility passed? After that you got final decision or just pre arrival?
Thank you
I havent received portal invitation, thought as I have already a CGKEY account no need for that. in message it says eligibility passed but when I go to my application page everything is under reviewing, so no updates as of Sept 7. I just wanna know how much longer should I wait. its ridicules to be honest. Do you have the IRCC number so I can call?

So I’m December 2021 applicant. I’m one of the few lucky ones that can’t check the status of their application neither from cic website or ecas. On cic the there’s no update on there since I applied. And on ecas I can’t find my application at all! The only way was through GCMS notes or speaking to an agent.
Anyways, today I found something new on my cic application status and I don’t know what is this lol
