I am happy to say that by the grace of God I have received my PPR. You can find my timeline below.
I'd like to thank the forum members as checking the information here helped me cope with the wait. In particular, I'd like to thank
@tobs @Abdelilah @hamgha and
@BA2LAMAZ for being kind enough to answer my questions and share their knowledge.
FSW - O
AOR: 21st of August
IP1-IP2 and ghost updates: no idea as I applied through an agent
Called IRCC on February 12th (roughly) and was informed that Eligibility and Criminality had passed, while Security was in progress
PPR: February 22nd (one day after the 6 month mark!)
VO: Ottawa
I never applied for GCMS notes and called IRCC only once.
I pray that every single one of you feel the joy that I do today as soon as possible.
God bless
