Much better it can be, but not for NDVO they send MR in advance, history of PPR in advance as well, at present seems to be changing. Also MR is a good thing I am sure they forgot to upload SA thing, they don't always upload each and every single infos on web, read many times in the past. Thanx

Thanks let’s see. Where my file goes. Currently told my spouse to complete th emedicals asap to speed up the other stages of the application.

You don't really have to worry about that. The only difference between your temporary and permanent application number is that the former has an additional X at the front then it's removed when it becomes permanent.

Temporary = XF000123456
Permanent = F000123456



Yes, that's possible. I know a bunch of June applicants (about 10) that already have their PPRs last month. They're from the Philippines.

As an update on my end, our application was received on July 23, and we were just able to connect to GCKey and ECAS today. No AOR still, however. ECAS is indicating that they started processing our app today, October 2.

Application received on 10 july , got application number and uci number . What it mean
Best of luck to everyone.. hope everyone will get good news soon.. feeling relaxed

Hi,

Did you receive and email for medical request?

I’m July 16th applicant and received AOR September 29th.

I can’t link my application on GCKEY and I haven’t received any email for medical request.

Also I checked on ECAS and the sponsorship side said Decision Made, somebody knows what this mean?

 

[OopsShesDoinItAgain]

Side note - I've tried calling CIC 6 times today - with no luck.. i use options 2 1 1 0

it says they are unable to connect me to an agent at this time

lol .. little do they know.. i will keep calling like a stalker until i get through

You go girl!

That's the only way you're going to get answers. That's what I did, I had even nodded off whilst waiting the 40+ mins, when to my surprise someone actually answered!!

 

[OopsShesDoinItAgain]

I find this so confusing! How come all the late july applicants are starting to get Med Requests, but some of the early July applicants haven't even recieved AOR1.. I don't understand their system honestly haha!

Yep, it's confusing the heck out of me too.

I'm 3rd July, and still nothing...

No, unfortunately I only found out because of the GCKEY email about an update to my file. Also, I never got an email about SA but my ECAS also says "Decision Made".

Thank you

Your info on the temp file number has proved invaluablei!

 

[I&D2018]

Interesting historically, SA has taken 45-60 days it seems. People who finally getting AOR1 60-75 days, mentioning that they get SA at same time and some even faster. Seems they are changing how the workload is completed.

Thank you for your response. I will try to link my application again.

Should I start to worry if I have no e-mail whatsoever for my wife application (July 9th applicant). I couldn't find any demand on CGkey either with her "name-passport-and city of application. It becomes hard to call from Colombia since she does not speak english very well and because I would have to pay long distance fee's only for waiting and not speaking to anybody 90% of the call I try to do there. Are we the only one waiting for so long now, I see that a lot a people had AOR1 since 2 weeks.

No, unfortunately you're not.
We've been waiting since 3rd July
