Background Check taking more time than usual

Hey all, I finally received my PPR this Monday (AOR - Jan 19). It’s been a long wait which, I realize now, was unnecessary. I had one work-exp document incomplete and that had led to my case being pushed out to their ‘needs additional review’ basket. If this hadn’t happened, I would have hit PPR in March. I got to know all this via GCMS notes which I ordered very late (in August). The moral of the story is: If you are already past 3-4 months of your AOR, do get your GCMS notes and don’t wait. …

Hope this helps. You can also post any future question on that post’s parent thread.

It’s less than 9 months wait - not an extreme delay by any means I think we all got used to hearing stories about PR approvals in 2 months but that was in 2018 and before. Since then the average approval time has been 8 to 12 months, maybe because of the increase in applications. Took me 9 - 10 months to get PPR, even though my actual application was approved in about 8 months. So your situation is well within the current average processing times. But you should still order GCMS notes just to make sure nothing else is needed to speed up your application. Good luck, hope you hear good news soon.

Hi! Did you get your PPR? I received an ITA for a Canada PR - express entry (Non-PNP) on Nov 10, 2019, and submitted my application on Dec 5, 2019. So, I have been waiting for a Passport request since then i.e. almost 20 months now. I know a few people who applied after me and have got the PPR. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who is stuck or there are many in the same boat? Please help!
