Waiting in IP2, lets connect here!

Security screening is not that fast; mostly it runs for months!

True but again it depends. The whole thing involves CSIS, CBSA, and IRCC. So it varies depending on the case and the speed of each. If i remember right, legalfalcon mentioned in one of the detailed posts that the average processing time by csis is 60 days. Which means it can take less.

Hi guys, I have a quick question. Does anyone see the following status:

Additional Documents: You additional documents are being reviewed.
Background: We are processing your background check.

I haven't submitted any additional documents though. Not sure what does that mean. Also, can you guys help me to confirm if I am in ip2.

AOR: 22 July
Medical Passed: 28 July
BG: NA > We are processing. We will let you know when we start backgound check : 28 July > Next step background check : 5 August> We are processing your background check : 11 August

Looks like you are in IP2. Did you include a letter of explanation? As that goes under additional documents too.

Looks like you are in IP2. Did you include a letter of explanation? As that goes under additional documents too.

Ohh, yes I did. Now it makes sense. Thanks for that.

Wondering if this "additional doc" section will change any further or will it remain like this until visa label?

I guess I am in this party too. "waiting in IP2"

 

[student7872014]

I've been IP2 for 4 days, and I am CEC. How long do I have till PPR?

Hopefully soon.

For some reason, it seems they boosted the speed for new applications and kept the older ones on the side? Thats quite frustrating, really is.

Yes, that's true.
I guess they only care about the <6 months KPI, since we're already late, they take case of better presented case

 

[Sh1234567890]

My status has be the same , which might be ip2' since 11 days.....I'm getting worried now ...

 

[GargiS]

[GargiS]

Your application gets updated to "Approved" after they receive your passport + a few weeks, and then they return your passport to you.

Ah thanks!! Relieved

 

[GargiS]

[GargiS]

Copied from another thread :

Take my example.

1 - I wasted 2 months in Medical since they had less resources or whatever in April. Those dates, medical took 60 days to pass. Now people are passing in a week...so they have fixed that issue.
2 - Once i passed medical and R10, my application sat for 45 days with no movement based on my notes for them to do initial analyst check at CIO. Then they shipped me off to London.
3 - So far, three months has passed and no sign of anything while people after me in Ottawa are getting PPR. In my case, my notes showed that everything is perfect. But since I am in London, and they have less resources, it takes longer time.

4 - Finally another month of rotting and they checked my file, passed the officer review, and issued PPR in 3 days flat.

Technically. it's just a 4 day job. For some people it takes 50 days. For some people it takes 5 months. It just comes down to how fast they get to our files.

Of course, PNP has additional steps like Province verification and of course the dreaded secondary security which isn't in CIC hands since it goes to third parties. I'm talking about a simple easy FSW case with no complications. And I paid RPRF ahead and I don't think it backfires. Anyway..I cant complain. I got my PPR in 136 days which now...looking back..isn't too bad at all since their stated timeline is 180 days.

i'm very confused, the agent yesterday said my file is in rabat, said she doesn"t have full visibility on what's going on there so she can't know when they will send "the letter"... however she said that my file is completed (security , eligibility...) so what do you understand from this ? IP2 since the 8th august, aor 16 june.
