What's your visa office? How long it took for you to change your background check status from your application is in progress to we are processing? What's your AOR?
I have no idea about the VO (My GCMS notes is yet to come... past the 30 day mark already)
It took two months for the status change
AOR early Feb

@legalfalcon Greetings

Could you please let me know under what circumstance does IRCC usually request the RPRF fee? Is it after the case analyst's eligibility assessment?

Please let me know

Thank you

RPRF is usually requested after the eligibility has started, assessed as passed or recommended passed. To read on stages of an application, see https://bit.ly/2SEtdFI

I'm not sure I understand the question. Could you please explain? I've ordered GCMS notes a month ago and it hasn't arrived yet
Oops. My bad. May be i wasn't clear. I meant, did you receive any email regarding gcms notes. Something like an email notification when they open the file for gcms ?

May be @Vancitybh can let know on this !

@morpheusmx Did you get the ghost update? It seems you got the ghost update. If you got the ghost update then you are very close to COPR and it will be your last ghost update.

Nah, I just received an email the same day I submitted the request for the notes, and another email containing the notes 30 days later.

Hey @legalfalcon , just curious, if a CEC in-land, presently in Canada gets Copr and its expiry date is 3 weeks from issue date (i.e. same expiry date as medical exam), does one have to redo Medical exam if they are already waiting for the PR card to arrive (which could take longer than 3 weeks)? Thank you!

IF you are in Canada, as soon as your receive the COPR you attain the PR status.

COPR DOES not have an expiry date. The date on it is relevant for people who are outside Canada, and have to enter Canada before the COPR expires. For any one who is already in Canada, the COR issued is signed, and effective the date on COPR, you are a PR.

You do not have to do anything and your COPR will be a proof of your PR status in Canada.

A PR card is only a travel document and valid for 5 years. Whereas the COPR is forever proof. of your PR status.
