Not once did I call up anybody asking for updates nor did I check status before Day 116, as I have been very busy and paid minimal attention to this process after submission.
Thanks for sharing your timeline SteelMuffin. You have been very patient
Seems a long time for AOR from Sydney considering PA from other countries have received theirs much faster?
They say it's a 12 month process and hopefully the local visa office will be more efficient!
A recent PA from forum has just arrived here in Canada last week. PPR from Beijing and their total process took around 8 months.
( Nice Christmas Present ). It's good to stay busy and not worry. Background check may take some time.
Hang in there.
