Hello guys! I got the PPR email this morning too.
FSW outside Canada. Ukraine.
Invitation - 22.08.2018
AOR. - 07.09.2018
RPRF - 07.09.2018
Medicals passed - 01.10.2018
Biometrics requested - 01.10.2018
IP1 - around 17.10.2018
IP2 - 23.11.2018 (criminality was passed according to the GCMS notes, also eligibility was met)
08.03.2019 called IRCC - eligibility met, medicals passed, criminality passed, security wasn't started.
ADR - 03.04.2019 Schedule A, POF, IMM5562, uploaded 05.04.2019
11.04.2019 Ghost update.
12.04.2019 Called IRCC. The agent said my security check started.
13.04.2019 Ghost update.
17.04.2019 ready for visa.
I was following different forums. I believe, security checks take a few days when they really start it. Don't lose hope. As you can see they haven't touched my file since November, but after they did it took 2 weeks to finalise everything. Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations! I am from Ukraine as well, just FSW inland. Hope to receive my Golden email soon as well. My AOR is Sep. 30th

Hi guys, I received a ghost update this weekend and yesterday I called the call center. The agent told me that the ghost update I received is because my application has been approved but the email hasn't been sent out yet. My timeline is:

AOR 27 Septemeber 2018
Med Passed 26 October
No updates whatsoever
IP2 since AOR
Biometrics collected on 30 October
Ghost update 13 April 2019
Called on 16 April and said my application has been approved

Now waiting for the golden email

GOOD LUCK to every one!

Orjela, have you already received your PPR mail?

I guess my timeline will be similar, since i am also IP2 since the very AOR abd also gave biometrics

Perhaps, you should try through an app like Hangouts rather than direct calls

tollfree no is 1888-242-2100

Then follow instructions, press in sequence below:
1-1-2-2- application # - 1- DOB- 1- 1- 0 to speak to agent

Hi Guys,

I have been silently reading posts on this forum for quite a long time.
But today before 30 minutes I received the Golden email asking to submit my passport to New Delhi Visa Office.
I called 3 times in last month to know my status, till 16th April the only reply I got was that my Eligibility has passed.
So I never went to IP2 or anything. Status on the portal kept saying Background check has not been started.

So the only advice I have for everyone who is still waiting is that, Do not read much into what online Portal says.

All the best to everyone waiting for their PR, I am sure it is on its way!!

The request for re-medicals is at the officer's discretion. It is possible that IRCC may ask you to do another exame before they issue the PR. They may also issue the visa with a deadline for July 2019 to enter Canada. I am not sure if you can even submit your medical exam upfront. So, it would be best to wait for a request from IRCC. There are cases where the officer also allows an extension of your original medical exam.
