Self-Employed Application 2018

[Palamon]

Hi,

When you get AOR you will be required to link your account and the benefit is for quicker communication between CIC and applicant. Yes it makes sending updated documents easier too.

Thank you, Nornor. Would the instructions to the linking process be in the AOR?

Yes the instruction comes right after the AOR in a separate email.

Hi Everyone,

Wondering if you can help with some answers. I applied for the Federal Self-Employed Program and below is my timeline:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on December 29, 2017.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 20, 2018.
3. We started processing your application on March 20, 2018.
4. We sent you medical instructions on December 3, 2018. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
5. Medical results have been received. (that info got updated on December 2018)

Now, I applied thru a law firm in Canada but I am currently residing on US. We submitted medicals right on the month of December but since that, the status hasn't changed. Is anyone aware how the order of this works because I see some people saying that they wouldn't request Medicals if the paperwork wasn't cleared but some other people say that they still have to go thru background/paperwork processing...? Since Medicals "technically" have a valid time of a year, could they make that request again at the end of this process? Is anyone have a familiar timeline and what should I expect from CIC at this point?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank You.

It can take up to 3 months but email CiC for an update immdiately!

What Nornor said. That's a really long time between medical and the next update. Most people get an update within a few weeks of medicals passed. Does it show medicals passed? Or just medical results received? Either way, definitely email them. If your medicals and police certificate (s) expires before they make a decision, you will have to go through it all again.

Hello,
After receiving this mail ( self employed program)
Dear Sir/Madam,
This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada was received by our visa office in Rabat.
We assume now responsibility for the processing of your application to its conclusion. All correspondence must therefore be addressed to the visa office in Rabat, Morocco by mail in the case of original or certified documents, or by e-mail for the rest of the documents/information.
Please could you explain what does it mean and what’s the next step please?

It means your file has been transferred from Sydney to Morroco where it will be processed. Timeline will largely depend on traffic of applications in that area and of course how straight forward your application is too. Next step ideally should be biometrics request then medicals...

All the best.
