**----January 2019 Outland Application----**

[al0h0m0ra]

American PA's - have any of you gotten an update an ECAS? We just noticed one today that says they started processing my application on May 30. Our file was transferred to Mississauga March 19, just waiting to submit my biometrics on June 6. Could PPR be coming soon after?

We have not. Ours was transferred on the 20th. Hopefully this means something good for you! PPR!!

OMG, finally got "medical received" in ECAS!! Nothing had changed in there for so long I thought it wasn't working!

It's been 71 days since my husband (PA) had his Medical Exam, and then IRCC asked for additional medical tests for Jennifer (daughter). So now I'm hoping that things move a little more quickly, but I also know our VO is Mexico City so won't hold my breath. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I have had some updates in the past few days for the PR side on ECAS. May 22, 2019 I got the biometrics request and the line appeared. Then May 28, 2019 I got the line for application is in process but also the line and a message stating they need additional documents, and in my case its a New York State Police Certificate.

So unfair swear to god youd think they would help Canadian citizens start their lives with their spouses but no. If your middle eastern gotta have a slower process than everybody else! Because who the hell knows why. Screw this. This is so difficult and stressful

We submitted our application on January 07, 2019. Recently I received letter from IRCC which states that I must be interviewed by visa officer to evaluate requirement admission to Canada and my relationship to my wife. I didn't still do Medical. But some people in this forum received Medical request even before Biometric. Please check our timeline below and give me some suggestion. If we're in the same boat or not just some advice.

Of course the goal is to just get approval, but the stress sometimes gets to you. Especially for me, cause me and my spouse cannot visit each other. Basically I don’t know whens the next time I am going to see him

One more question about this...
How do locations get maxed out? From what I read on the website you just get asked questions by the officer as you cross? Where can you book appointments? We got our PPR a few days ago so will be going through this process soon hopefully..unfortunately doesn't sound too efficient!

I have no idea how they were maxed out so we were surprised when we got there. And this was on a Wednesday afternoon. Someone else commented saying that avoid the weekend and you’ll be fine, definitely not the case. I’m trying to book an appointment but that process is terribly inefficient. I’m not sure when we’ll be able to validate the COPR, but right now I'm annoyed with the horrible process.

That’s true I don’t deny that for me it’s the same I don’t know when I am going to visit my husband becuz the cost of travel for me to stay with him for 3 weeks is like 5000$ and we prefer to save that money for future needs so I am in the same boat as u ... I can feel u .. for Iraq how long does it take usually for the process?

Wow. How nuts. I have talked to the border officers I'm friendly with at my usual NEXUS crossing but they told me for soft landing or settling I have to go to the other 3 bridges and was told to do Wednesday as it would be easier as its the middle of the week. That is crazy that that is what I've been told and you encounter problems.

Anyone here who has submitted their passport and received their COPR via VFS Mumbai? How long did it take to get your passport back?

I submitted mine on the 31st. So I think ours will be done around the same time.
