Hello dear, we are mostly waiting, we will hear something soon. According to the spreadsheet, most people's files are just being transferred. So far only one has got PR.

Really someone got PR . But I haven't got aor2 yet
depends on the VO. i believe if the applicant is from a third world country the process will take longer between 6-12 months. i see applicants from usa posting they get DM. it is best not to compare with applicants from usa

That is very true! I think it usually takes minimum 5 to 6 months if ur dealing with NDVO.

why can't AVO be like other VO! Must we shout, cry, protest and send the Prime minister there before they can do their work. It's exhausting.

Is anyone having trouble validating the Schedule A (the new June version)? It wants me to add a year/mm on last address and employer vs. selecting "ongoing". When I try to put 2017-06 it still gives me a validation error
Having the same problem.. it wont let me validate 2017 as a year. ive tried it with 2 computers and have filled up the form so many times.

What is the difference between security and criminality
Posted and copied from other forum:

Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8*months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

That's how I understand it, as long as an email is receive confirming about the transfer it's considered AOR 2... I'm not sure though...
that is not AOR2, you should get another email from your VO and you are to get a 3rd line that they started processing your application

I didn't receive any letter from VO about the transfer but my sponsor did.. Ecas says in process after the transfer (the 3rd line).. In same cases AOR2 is sent to sponsors not PA..

There are VO's that doesn't send any emails about the transfer too though, but shows in process in ecas...

hi guys,

a question for you guys.

i submitted the application package on May 1.
couple days ago, i got an email from Mississauga office saying to submit the Schedule A IMM 5669.
There were nothing about the request on my GC Account. only request was via email.
the email said to send only the requested doc which was Schedule A. It didnt ask to submit PCC.

My question is:
- Is this normal way to request for Schedule A? only through email?
- it has been five months from submitting the application PKG to receiving an request for Schedule A.
From my looking through the forum, this seems like a long period time between the two.
should i this 'long period' and 'request from email' raised for concern?
im basically concerned whether my application is in a proper progress with immigration.

Thank you

I did get it to work... but I can't recall what the trick was! it was back in may. I think it want you to check a box, that you don't want to check as it doesn't apply to you. I think I checked it, and then used white out.

Hi all!
Do we need to submit something for medical? My understanding is doctor submits directly. It's odd because doctor sent us a eMedical Information Sheet but the test says incomplete.

Not sure what to do with it...

Thanks!
