Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[WeegieInOttawa]

Hey there. If you'd like to update our details on the spreadsheet, we got Background Check in Progress on February 19th and Decision Made today (April 12th). Cheers!

Just wondering.. Did you get a file transfer email to say it had gone to LVO or one that said they got it?

I read your timeline from your old post but can't access the spreadsheet right now to see if the rest of your timeline is there.

I read your timeline from your old post but can't access the spreadsheet right now to see if the rest of your timeline is there.

This is the comprehensive version of our timeline:

Sent: August 15th
Received: August 29th
AOR: October 11th
Linked Account: October 12th
Sponsor DM on ECAS: October 16th
Schedule A, PCC, Passport Photo Requested & Uploaded: October 18th
Medical Requested: October 20th
SA: October 21st
Medical Booked: October 23rd
Medical Undertaken: October 30th
ECAS PA in Process: October 31st
Correspondence Stating Application Sent to London: November 3rd
AOR2: November 6th
Medical Passed: November 9th
Background Check in Progress: February 19th
Additional PCC Requested (for Australia and New Zealand): February 19th
Pre-Arrival Services Letter: February 20th
Extension for Additional PCC Granted: March 19th
Additional PCC Uploaded: March 22nd
Decision Made (Approved): April 12th

We never received anything from LVO saying they'd received the application. I just received correspondence from Mississauga saying our application had been sent to London on November 3rd. Then the line on ECAS saying they had started processing our application appeared a few days later on November 6th (which I took to mean AOR2). Next correspondence was Background Check in Progress three and a half months later.

Doing a soft-landing today. Bit of fuss at airport as staff not clued up that CoPR has eTA attached. but it all got sorted.

Hope all goes well in Toronto - should be OK. Not got proof of funds as only doing a soft-landing and its a sponsored PR anyway. Staying with parents as well - only long enough to obtain the PR card and then back to pack up the house!

Thanks for that, added to spreadsheet. I have assumed you are applying Common Law? Please keep us updated by posting here and best of luck - not long now I think.

Medical passed (delay for communication with my GP) – 25 April 2018

My sponsor received notification today 26th April 2018 that the case will be processed at Mississauga. Assume this is not AOR2 and I will get the AOR2 notification myself as the applicant from Mississauga?

Not necessarily. I am the PA and only my partner (the sponsor) got file transfer email. I didnt get aor2 but i am lvo where it seems anything goes.

Just saying..dont expect any kind of norm. It seems that some things/stages happen for some and not for others.
