yes I called them and agent did send a reminder. Also in reply to the latest web form they said that a reminder is already sent. I should raise a new web form if I don't hear anything till 31st May.
I’m a silent reader but I always found it assuring to read that people got PPR asides from the batches. I applied CEC route inland (outland now).

I called them once to ask for extension to hand in ADR 2, never requested any notes. It can happen real fast once they have all the documents they need. Good luck to you all, it will come sooner than you think! I certainly expected another 2 month wait because of my ADR! I have my fingers crossed for you all!
*I have extensive travel history and had to upload 4 PCC in total.

I am working with a consultant and all communication between me and IRCC goes through them. We raised web form about passed 6 months deadline and today consultant forwarded response from IRCC:
" Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided regarding the processing of the application and have forwarded it to the responsible office.
They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on the application.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
We would also like to suggest the following online services that might be helpful to you with any immigration, refugee and/or citizenship future requests:
As I understand, as soon as they touch a file, things can go really fast. 90% of time files are just waiting for an officer to proceed another step and nothing more. I'm sure that basically things like eligibility check doesn't take longer than a couple of working days for an officer. The biggest problem is that there are thousands of files to be processed, hence the normal process is not like MEP - Criminality - eligibility - review - security - decision, but most likely MEP - (waiting to be picked up) - criminality - (waiting to be picked up) - eligibility recommended passed - (waiting to be picked up) - eligibility passed - criminality initiated - (waiting to be picked up) - criminality passed - (waiting to be picked up) - file approved

Guys please consider ordering gcms notes. By way of this, you can achieve 2 benefits - 1. Case officer will open your file and check what's the status. If he suddenly realised all is ok then he may issue the notes a month later and immediately clear your file. 2. You get to see if there is an RR and the reason. You can then upload an LOE through webform and get the ball rolling.
I can say this only from my experience 2 days back that ordering gcms helped me clear the clouds. Waiting had become cumbersome.
Just received my first set of notes dated Apr 8. Looks like I ordered them on time as first steps had been done several days before the date I ordered notes.
And no further information that the security check was initiated, even though the agent told me that security was in progress on May 6. Looks like security was started after the time the notes had been generated, am I right? Does everything look good?..
