My AOR is Aug 4th and my case hasn't been touched since Oct 23rd, just so you know haha

Yeah sorry you have to wait so long. You are inland though, for some reason inland applications take more time. I hope you get ppr very soon.

How much longer tho, compared to outlanders?

I am not sure about that. Experts on this forum might know more about it.

'Hello everyone,
As I crossed the six-month mark today the online portal reads as 'Your application is taking us longer than usual to process' and it says 'About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and how quickly you answer our requests and whether the application is complete.' Is this a regular template used by them after an application crosses the 6-month mark or is it case-specific which requires me to take any action. Please guide.

Hi Rain8. Yes, this is their regular template. When my application reached the 6th month, this text appeared in the online account. Hopefully we get PPR soon!

It’s a month and a day since I ordered my 2nd GCMS notes and no response. AOR Sept 17 - FSW Inland. Is this normal? I paid the $5 processing fee. Raised a CSE last month to enquire about my Eligibility and Criminality and the response was ‘

• The background verifications are currently in process.

Silence about my eligibility.

@cansha . In the Information letter, it states that "Case Processing Centre – Ottawa" at the end of the page 2 (of 7). The letter has "Annex A" to be sent with passports. I am not sure if this is the PPR letter or is there another one I will receive soon.

This is the PPR. It seems your VO switched to Ottawa in between.

Hello everyone!
This is my first post on this forum, on, well any forum. But I love this website the most. It, literally has been my only source of guidance besides IRCC website. I am an Indian expat currently based out of USA and I desire to go spend the rest of my life in peace and hopefully with a job, in Canada. I have been at this for almost over two years now, with my IELTS scores dating back all the way to 2017. I had been waiting to get 'continuous' work experience in a primary NOC, and then FBI security check results (Yeah, I am from the time before they introduced the fancy online system that spits out the the results in a few seconds nowadays) But it has been a tumultuous journey. Everything from getting the work experience letters (though I did not put a lot of time into it. I basically had very descriptive letters; and they definitely were not ditto to the NOC job descriptions. They just conveyed what I did) I was also apprehensive, because my job basically was distributed into different NOCs and I also changed my primary NOC from EOI to final application (with a late departing LOE lol) Plus I have not been a part of any community or whatsapp group, so I did not even have a lot of peer pressure to order a GCMS. I was tempted and I almost ordered one when I crossed the 7 month mark (I am a July AOR) and I got super anxious about the state of my application. First of all, it was a half baked application with everything done in spare time, and in absence of sobriety. I also, only came to know that I had Montreal VO cuz I had read people asking about it to agents on the telephone. That's another major issue I faced. I'd never have a clue what to ask them agents. I mean they, will tell us if they need more documents. But anyway, at 5 month mark I'd inquired about my VO and then I started to furiously follow this thread. And just when I was moments away from requesting a GCMS, my mid July AOR came back with a PPR.

TL;DR July AOR, PPR comes in Feb. No GCMS. Thank you to everyone for sharing extremely invaluable inputs. Super thanks (With avocado and cream)

Cheers,
Rick

Hello. This is normal. I ordered my second GCMS notes and there was a text on the confirmation email which I am copying below. The last one’s really in bold which I think they really want to let everyone know. Just wait until the end of the day and follow up after you reach the 32nd day. All the best. Text below:

“Please note that due to the volume of requests that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) processes, it is not unusual for responses to be sent late in the day of the due date.”

And also this- Due to the large volume of requests that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives, please wait until after 31 calendar days has passed before submitting a status request with your tracking number.”
