Non-Express Entry(PNP) Online Applications Gather here

[SCW]

How do you know your background check started? I honestly can't tell if anyone knows because the message in Non-EE PNP applications always is "We are processing your background check" from the day your account is linked.

From what I can see your eligibility and background are completed/approved on the day they make your decision. So you only know these are finalized when you get DM1.

That's interesting since my account still says: "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". So, they probably have not started the background check for me yet.

There is no specific time when you can get PAL . Sometimes you don’t even get it . Only way to find out if your eligibility is passed is through GCMS notes .

Does eligibility need to be passed to receive PAL?　just being curious.

Yes PAL indicates that your eligibility stage is passed. PAL is a simple letter which includes information for free service . As i told most people get it . Sometimes you don’t get .

not necessarily it seems. I got "PAL" about 10 days after AOR, but only to get an ADR about 20 days after that (and now 3 mo have passed, NOTHING lol). So I doubt the PAL actually means anything concrete or they can revoke the "passed" eligibility with ADR when every they want lol

Hello,
yesterday in my file I got the medical passed, it was like a ghost update, I didn't get any mail but I logged in and medical was passed, but today I got the email from cic and I got PAL, but the medical passed is disappeared, so is there any issue ?

Nope . Just a technical glitch in system. It will be back in few days. Nothing to worry about.

Next steps are...

To sit down and wait.

I am very disturbed by the fact that the number of COPRs issued for non-EE PNP applicants has barely budged on the spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U00ooiZO57vNqjpgsTvhciDdiffcozBk8os9T_zkXVg/edit#gid=0

We keep seeing more and more applicants, more and more AORs, but no decisions.

It's like they're issuing one COPR every 2-3 weeks... at this rate who is even going to get PR? I feel awful we ended up in this stream. No transparency, months in between AOR -> MR -> ADR - > PAL -> DM -> COPR. Does no-one at IRCC work at the non-EE station?

Meanwhile, someone's spouse who never set foot in Canada before has to send 1 form, show a couple of photos, and gets PR in 4 months no problems.

I don't really think there is an "EE" and a "Non-EE" station. I think they are just officers scattered around offices randomly picking the files that they like to work on, whether it is PNP, CEC, FSW, EE, Non-EE, etc.

Yes, I noticed that too. The only thing about the spreadsheets and the forums is that the information is voluntarily self-reported. It would have been nice to see the actual data for the whole category, but of course, that is out of the question. I only hope that all our fellow travellers are updating their milestones, but then everyone is busy and has so much on their plate that sometimes updating info is forgotten. This is a tough road to travel. Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm not familiar with what all the acronyms everyone is posting on their timeline means, and I found this link which may be helpful to anybody in the same situation as me:
https://www.amssa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/IRCC-Acronyms-Acronymes-.pdf
However, the acronym PAL is not there. What does PAL mean? Thanks.

Thanks Miss Bee! Greatly appreciated.

Does background check does not start until medical passed? I received an ADR （ppc）and not medical passed yet. As Ircc requested me ppc as additional document, I though BG check would have been commencing. I am little confused now.
