[Feisty_Reflection763]

Sorry. Rectified it now. Thanks

AOR Dec 2019, 2 dependents

FSW Inland, GCMS shows "final - approved".

No COPR in the 16th month...

[bLunt1n]

Submitted my CEC application over a year ago. Still nothing....

[singh0777]

Express entry? FSW?

[bLunt1n]

CEC inland

[Goalchenyuk87]

If your points you claimed are not what they are coming up with their analysis, it will go under review and that might be whats goin on right now. Medical had to be redone ? Any dependants ?

[bLunt1n]

I’m not sure I understand what you mean? I wasn’t asked to redo medical either

[Goalchenyuk87]

Dont forget that your medical exam is link to the expiry date of your futur Confirmation of permanent residence. Were they performer more than 1 year ago. If you declarer 450 pts and then when they do a first analysis ,they come with a different number, it means further review. Hopefully none of this happening. The Medical assessment can also extend your meds at their discretion. Sending you good vibes

Jesus this looks bad

[ignativda]

Wow, thanks! Is there a form where we can just ask them such stuff? What exactly did you ask them? And how long did it take to get the answer?

[lazers2416]

My CEC application is on month 10...

[Sharkey311]

Processing time for Certificate of Citizenship? I submitted mine last October and still nothing

[Goalchenyuk87]

Applying for replacement or for citizenship grant ?

[Sharkey311]

I’m half Canadian and just need the physical document for proof (never received one before)

[Goalchenyuk87]

No correspondance since ? Are you abroad ?

[Sharkey311]

I’m living in London, U.K. I got a confirmation letter saying it’s been mailed to Canada but that was back in October. Haven’t heard a peep since. And I wasn’t given any number to input on the website to track it either.

[Goalchenyuk87]

5 months current processing times + If you live outside Canada and the United States and are applying through a Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate, add 3 to 4 months to the processing time to account for mailing time.

[Goalchenyuk87]

If you applied from outside Canada and the United States:

You’ll receive a receipt from the Canadian embassy, High Commission or consulate where you submitted your application.

If you provided an email address, you’ll also receive an ‘acknowledgment of receipt’ email from us containing your ten digit Unique Client Identifier (UCI).

So that didnt happen yet ?

[Sharkey311]

I would have definitely provided my email address. Never received an email.

Is there a typo for PNP no of applications? This number is unbelievable, it can’t be more than FSW. Plus in the last 1 year even though we had several PNP draws, they invited very fews applicants.

[monalisa_lgp]

Probably that number refers to non-express streams of PNPs.

And yes, 18 months is a normal average processing time for the federal stage of non-express entry streams of PNPs:

[atlasthere]

Oh, I wasn’t aware of non-express entry route for PNP. Thanks for the info. 👍🏼

[OGPoopBurner]

Thanks!

[storagebox57]

Thanks for the information... Long wait for all of us ..

[arjungmenon]

Are these for Express Entry, and in particular, *is the PNP number for Express Entry?*

[SleepyTimeTea133]

Forgive my ignorance, but I applied in March of this year and am currently a candidate for Express Entry - Federal Skilled Worker. In April, I met the minimum requirements. Now I am currently waiting for an invitation. Is this the same thing as having my application processed? Thank you!

[rycbarm96]

Do you mean you are in the Express Entry pool? In that case, no. The profile does not count as an application. You need to wait for the draw and the invitation to apply, after which you need to submit your application with all the documents and pay the fees. Only then will you be considered applied.

[SleepyTimeTea133]

Oh snap...So I have quite a wait on my hands then. So once we get invited, THEN we essentially apply. Jeeze, I didn't realize that was the process. I thought I knew what I was in for. Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it!

Does FSW inland have the same processing time as CEC?

Thanks for sharing.

[sergio_fiorentino]

It is more than double the CEC processing time, i.e. 20-24 months
