When did you get the fingerprints request and what was the last thing you got from the IRCC?
Hope you will get it soon and as you said Allah Kareem.
I got med request in oct 2018, pcc request in November 2018, again pcc request in july 2019 because they said they didn’t receive one, after that nothing and since july 2019 I’m waiting. Its gonna be a year since last correspondence. In my gcms medical,eligibility,criminality is passed. Security is blank and info sharing is blank so i don’t know why security is taking so long. Thats all for now just waiting for Dm and rest Allah knows best

I had sent a webform request to CIC in regards of an update for my application as well and I also received a general response simply outlining that it is being processed. Seems like the wait will be a long one...

Hopefully by the end of this year, 2018 applicants can finally see some relief, as well as those who applied after! :)

If you don't mind me asking, did they receive their PR status recently? (March-april ish?) Just asking to see whether people are actually getting DM/Landing during the pandemic.

Hi Guys,

I am really frustrated and stressed, my application has been delayed a lot and it is affecting my life tremendously.
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on March 29, 2018.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 29, 2018.
  3. We started processing your application on August 28, 2018.
  4. We sent you medical instructions on October 16, 2018. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
Could anyone share any tips that can expedite the process?

Thank you

Have you ordered any GCMS notes? If yes, what do your latest notes say? Have you tried contacting IRCC?

That's great to hear! I'm so happy for them! :)
I'm currently on my 19th month and waiting (October 2018 applicant) but hearing they received their PR status in such a short period of time is encouranging.

If you don't mind me asking, when have you applied? Any updates at all for you?

Hopefully our wait is going to end soon as well. :cool:

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well.

I had a question regarding the AIP.

I have seen many posts with a lot of people who have received the AIP before their DM. In my cause, I have not yet. Please note that I do not have any overseas dependent that I am applying for. My questions is: is the AIP something that any applicant under the protected person class should get eventually? Or is this something that only overseas dependents get? This question raised given that whoever gets AIP receives a letter regarding pre-arrival services. Your input is much appreciated!

I have tried contacting IRCC call center and they don't have any information, I submitted a web form last week and they asked me for more information like sending a copy of your carrier receipt which I don't have as I disregarded it when I got a notification that they have received my application. I haven't requested GCMS notes. My timeline bar was showing the estimated completion of November 2019.

I think the wise choice to make here would be to request GCMS notes. You can do so throught ATIP and it is free. That way you'll be able to see the officer's notes of the application. Unfortunately, I don't think there isn't much else to do. Hang in there, I'm sure you'll get it eventually!

There is no way to expedite the process you just have to wait until you get AIP or DM or request for more information from IRCC GCMS, Webform MP non of it will make the file move faster, if you want to know the officers notes then you can request GCMS notes and that will just tell you that security is in progress which is the case for everyone on here TBH GCMS which normally take 30 days but due to COVID19 you can expect a delay in that as well..

Remember the call centre agents see the same info we see online when we log into GCKEY they can update address and phone number too but other than that they have no new info webform is the same its the call centre that answers those request.....

All the best!
