Hello All,

I have a question. Here's some context from my previous post. So I received this "information letter", where they asked me to submit the passport within 30 days, in order to issue a CoPR apparently. Sent passport with photos on 28 August.

30 August - Passport received by IRCC in Hamilton, Ontario. However, there has been no update on the portal . Is this normal? I do know that my shipment reached, because I can see that on my Fedex tracking info.

Does anyone know, what the average return time is? Will the portal update at all? Also, I noticed another funny thing. When I click on the "information letter" on the portal now, the page won't load at all - is that normal? I mean I did save a copy of the pdf, but that seems odd . The other messages open just fine.

Oh I agree IRCC does not owe us anything. Having lived in the UK, I'm fully aware of immigration struggles elsewhere. I have a valid US visa and last I check eligibility had not even started, so there is no trend here. I'm just expressing my grief here. Sharing seems to help me cope better

UK immigration..... Tell me about that

I lived there for good 6 years.... It was actually frightening to open ukba website, as we never knew when would they change their laws...
Very complicated system.....


Canadian system is much more reliable.

Vancouver office normally takes more than 6 months to process an application. So, there is nothing to alarmed about the time line.
The case analyst who checked your eligibility can not decide for sure whether you meet all the eligibility criteria's, so he wants the immigration officer to review it. It nothing to be worried about. It will be reviewed and most probably accepted once the immigration officer review's it.
Good luck

I was in UK too and if it wasn't for some family issues I would still have been. if they open their doors at any point in my life time I will gladly go back too. I know people are scared of UKBA but i've never had any issues with their policy changes. ( I was furious with May when May was the home secretary and I was so happy to see her in tears when she resigned and her political career ended) Not just with them, I've never faces an issue or delay with any of my previous visa applications. This is the first time I am delayed. I already had no good impression about Canada. Compared to other places, it is one of the boring countries (in my opinion). Now I also got to know about the so called transparency of their government systems which they boat so much about. Turns out not every process is completely transparent.

Anyway, I suggest you try to find a trend based on NOC and the potential number of visa's per application, if you enjoy finding trends.

The portal usually updates only after CoPr is issued. This is what i heard from other applicants.

That's really good news. I heard from some other applicants that sometime they will not share security status. There are GCMS notes thats left blank for security even after PPR. So it might be being processed internally at the VO and the agents won't know about it.
Most probably you will get it this week or early next week. Good luck
BTW, do you know when was your eligibility recommend pass? How long did it take to change from recommend pass to pass?

Chill bro, there is no vacation now. There was just one day off last month.
More reliable theories are the one about student visa and the election. Since it's the time of fall intake, the officers might have been busy processing the student visa application for the last few months. That's understandable and if that the case then the files will start moving faster now as the student visa application time is over for September

I really hope this is true
