Finally got the Ready for Visa email/PPR!! So glad this torturous wait is over! Had to go through so much but I must say this feeling is good! I used to silently follow this thread then most of the people got their PPRs around the same time USProgrammer and derksdou got theirs. Since then I felt left behind and became a bit active here, but knowing so many people still waiting just made me sadder day by day. Not anymore! Thank you everyone here for all the information and support!

Nothing after this, loong wait
July 15 2019 - The only helpful call center agent helped me and told me my Eligibility was marked Not Met because the Officer wasn’t satisfied with my document for work experience. Suggested upload updated work experience letter with paystubs. My suspicion was that the job duties weren’t enough or satisfying. I uploaded updated letter with LOA.
Aug 15 2019 - Because i didnt get my H1B picked in my last chance at the lottery my status expired and I moved back to India as till this date I heard nothing from Canada. Submitted Address Change webform.
Sep 25, 2019 - Received GCMS notes dated Sep 4, confirmed CIO wasn’t satisfied with my job duties. March 3 was the last time they touched my file.

They still sent me the US passport mailing instructions even though I updated my address, so I sent them an email to give me updated instructions for my current residence.
