November 2018 AOR - Join here

[Hello there]

And does it hint that the IP1 has completed by the file being at NDVO??

It is usually better to move to local VOs since they will be able to process the applications better as they will have better knowledge of the country.

Mine and several other Indian applicants are processed at Ottawa.

I would say realistically you should expect PPR by April!! As per immitracker, the average processing times for Indians is 150-170 days.

I spoke to an agent just now after a waiting period of 25 minutes. She told she doesn't have the view since it's moved to New Delhi. Is it true that the agent's view will be obliterated for those cases gone out side Canada for Processing? Have you ever come across any cases similar to this? Kindly share if you have.

 

[soliloquy]

I have been trying not to worry about my application but I caved in and sent a CSE asking about my eligibility, criminality and background checks on Thursday. I got a reply today that doesn't seem to be one of the cookie-cutter responses they usually give and it has me confused now. I do have causes to be concerned about my application (applying with non-accompanying parent of my child and others that I don't want to go into).

I've bolded the parts that have me confused.

"Good day soliloquy,

2 - What on earth does "the background verifications are currently valid" mean?

Yes, they can only update you on applications within Canada. You will have to contact NDVO directly from here on

1. A lot of applications are finalized in Vancouver.
2. Probably related to your education, experience etc.

AOR-22nd Nov. My application shows eligibility is in review process, but when I called the agent, she said, you have passed the eligibility criteria and background check is processing. I guess, they don't regularly update the website application status. Has this happened to anyone else?

Same here i was told it is recommended pass and no update on website.. only my security screening hasn't started the rest stages are passed. (AOR Nov 28)

On immitracker the average time for Indians to get ppr is 112 days

 

[tejasmhaskar]

On immitracker the average time for Indians to get ppr is 112 days

Those estimates are not reliable. Going by the recent trend, fswo Indian applicants are looking at 150-170 days

 

[Ballay Ballay]

I think in coming week or two November aor folks will strat getting PPR..trend of getting ppr will start soon
