Hello everyone,

My parents did their medical exam in early January 2017, we were asked for PCC and also Right of Permanent Residency Fee. All submitted and paid, however when I log in to my cic account it just says "A background check is needed=Not needed at this time". What does that mean? It means they have not started the background check yet? then how come they've asked for RPRF? How long it will take for passport request?

Thanks
for BC, what you see is the same for everyone, when your file/turn comes to verify your PCC, this status will change In Progress.
Assume if the BC has passed without any issue, since RPRF is paid, you will move two steps and fall in the process of requesting passport
incase your medicals or any criminal activity found, then RPRF is returned

so no worries, i am in the same boat, PCC submitted on 22nd november, my BC status is same as yours

Actually they ask for RPRF before BC now, well at least in my case they did. I submitted RPRF along with PCC & Meds in November while Background check started in december. I got the PPR in second week of Jan.

Most time, RPRF is asked along with PCC. It's nothing new. IN my case, Singapore-VO asked for IME, PCC, RPRF, updated IMM5669 and Spouse Death Cert. in same message 3 weeks before BC turned into in-progress.

There is nothing much to update although I wrote your info in the comment section. Once you know your DM date and Visa issue date on the passport, let me know.

Hi guys,

My parents finally received COPR from the visa office yesterday. I'll update my timeline on the spreadsheet with the issue date.

I've been learning all the information that will help us prepare well for landing.

I hope everyone whose application is still in the process gets good results real soon!

Thank you everyone! Especially thank you so much, Rossei!

Hi! Is it normal for permanent resident app status to change from in process to app received? That's what just happened to me

Yes, it had happened to quite a few folks (including me). In my case, the status didn't change back to 'In process' for next 4 months! Nothing to worry about in my opinion.
