Hi all - just wondering if anyone might be in the same boat as us...

In April, we got notice that the app been transferred to Sydney, Australia and shortly after that an FBI background check was requested (my partner worked in the US for a few summers). The letter said the FBI document must be received within 30 days and failure to do so could result in the refusal of our application. It was a bit of a tight timeline with a 2 week wait to get his fingerprints done and Easter holidays were in there. Anyways, we received it online, printed and mailed it to the Sydney office last week just within the 30 day timeline. My worry is that we haven’t heard anything back though...nothing to say they have received it.

It’s now past the 30 days and still nothing so we also emailed it to the office. Still haven’t heard back though?

I’m just nervous something has gone wrong. Does anyone know if they need the original certificate not just the one from FBIs online service? The original is being mailed from USA to Australia and hasn’t arrived yet.

Am I panicking over nothing and its normal to not hear anything when requested document is sent?

Thanks teamfor any help/support!

Its normal not to hear anything after documents are sent.

Has any Pakistani applicant on tracker tried calling CIC to know if their file has been moved to any visa office yet?

I called, they said that we are working on your application here in Sydney and they will transfer afterwards and from there it will be quicker, but no update. It has been more than 2 months for me after SA.

Just the additional “we started processing....” line appeared on PA side in ECAS.

Little further info on PA, I lived in Canada for four years on a working holiday permit where I met my wife. Visa was expiring so we both moved over here (Aus) last year while we got our application together and the application was being processed.
I don’t really know but I imagine that helped speed up background checks...

I have a question, my wife and I are living in the US about to move to Quebec in a month. She's a Canadian citizen sponsoring me. I'm trying to figure out the quickest way for me to be able to work in Canada and I'm really confused about timelines. Would it be quicker for us to apply for outland sponsorship right now due to the quicker processing time or would it be quicker for us to wait until we're in Quebec and apply inland where I'd be able to apply for an OWP at the same time? Thanks for your help!
