FEBRUARY 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[Jeevan Kumar]

In process and

1. We received your application for permanent residence on February 4, 2019.

were you able to link your application in GC key account?

@JoshC , sorry, we're making lots of requests for spreadsheets changes, but I'd like to propose some amendments as well Just for your consideration.

1. The first two columns in February are not locked (but I believe they have been... or no)? Could you please lock them as it's done in other months.
2. Schedule A and PCC are not really helpful since it's now a requirement for upfront. Maybe we can remove them?
3. Maybe it's worth moving all columns about biometric and medicals before Decision Made column, or maybe even before AOR2? It will allow to have the logical order of actions.

Yes, I am able to. I received bio-metrics request in my CIC account.

I used Receipt# for ECAs and PA's info to link and i was able to.

I have just locked first two columns!
I'm a data scientist and know a lot about spreadsheet and other programs, so i could help @JoshC in maintaining this sheet. if you don't mind me doing it.

I'll move the medical and biometrics to before AOR2 as it seems to follow that pattern now. I'll also drop in the visa office transition and the VO it was sent too. The PA's local VO will be moved to this bit and the Sponsors City will be changed to PA's country.

Edit: @alaria Check Feb's layout, does this suit the new pattern we are seeing?

 

[JoshC]

I've made amendments to the tracker based on the requests of a number of users, any feedback is appreciated.

Removed

• Contact Information - just provide your Canda Visa username. Keeps your personal data safer.
• Sponsors City - doesn't have much bearing on overall application.
• PCC & Schedule A status as they're now required upfront regardless.

Moved

• Principal Applicants VO has been moved over to the left of AOR2, and renamed as Moved to Visa office along with a date of movement field.
• Biometrics and Medical moved to fit in with how applications now seem to be processing - before AOR2 or Moved to visa office.

Added

• Principal Applicants country added to show a more detailed timeline for the PA.

It's very good and much easier to use now, thanks a lot! But it looks like a few important things have gone away, like
# of Applicants
# of AOR1
# of SA
# of AOR2

and percentages for the respective fields

All updated, I was toying with the idea of doing that at the top, I'll play around on a copy of the sheet and post it here to see what you all think.

Would you mind giving me the exact steps to link CIC account, please ?

CIC PA's account or Sponsor's Account? and with whose information?

If you do like playing with that, if it's enjoyable for you and not hard work, maybe you could add some more average values to other columns as well? Like medicals request average, DM average, etc. That's the only thing I can think about to improve the sheets. If we have that, from very good it'll become perfect

Hi Guys,

I have just got the medical request as well. Seems strange but i am happy that something is happening. Received, SA, Bio request and now medical request all on the same day.

Still no AOR though!
