Applying from Australia?! Let us connect here!

Hi RDong, What’s your AOR?

My Aor is on 8Feb. Apart from Bio and med, nothing moves. I knew there are two cases (applied from Aus) processed within 3ms, which gave me high hope that my app could have been processed that quick but due to the fact that I am 21 days to cross 6ms mark, I am back to initial thought that so long as I get golden mail, I am delighted regardless how long it takes.

Hey, since you have crossed 90days ( your application would have been transferred to Sydney, Australia as you applied from Australia). You can now email or call the Canadian High Commission in Sydney, NSW, Australia, and they will help by giving you an update on your application status!

Really? I don't know about that. Thanks for sharing that info. I'll try and see what they revert. Tksss again.

I think for people applying from Australia, the average processing time is around 150 days

As per the tracker!! Filter the country of residence to Australia!

Guess the processing is a bit slow here!!

Today my timebar shows 15 days remaining. My gut urges me to raise webform or email to Sydney office to ask about my app status but then I hesitate a bit as it still within 6ms processing. maybe they wait for more app to be finalised to issue in batch. I see not many app from Aus through immitracker.

Hi everyone, AOR 21st Jan
Nationality:Indian
Country of Residence:Sydney,Australia
No updates since Biometrics and MEP, Fingers Crossed!
I have a Representative taking care of the case who is based in India and he suggested in raising a webform and ordering GCMS after the 6 months mark.

May I know the status of your application by now?

May I know the status of your application by now?

No updates yet mate. Planning to raise a webform after 7 months completion. Any updates from your side?

 

[oppyddrum]

New here, just made the decision to apply fro the Canadian PR
Current Status:
34 year old Australian Citizen with an American Bachelors in Electrical Eng and a Masters of Electronic Engineering, MBA and Masters of Subsea Engineering from Australia.
6 years experience as an electrical engineer and 2 years as a Subsea Engineer (current role). Considering applying as an Electrical Engineer as most of my experience is in that.
I plan to assess my Electronics masters/MBA for the points.
I don't believe that mixing occupations will be an advantage even though both occupations are on the NOC list.
I look forward to getting insights from this group and just enjoying the journey with the group.

If I was to ask a question right now, it will be that do both me and my wife have to have our quals assessed and IELTS completed before I submit the Expression of Interest? Like I said, we are at the very beginning of the process. All tips are welcome!

6 days to go but zero update for me. I've just received the 2nd gcms note which was ordered in early July. Sadly it appears that my file has been frozen for long. no progress has been made since my first gcms ordered in Apr. I am also thinking of raising webform.

Yes, if both of you get your IELTS and education qualifications assessed you would get higher CRS points! Try using the CRS points calculator to know where you stand. On the contrary, if you have a really high score without your spouse getting their quals assessed then only your IELTS and education assessment would be sufficient! All the best!

Oh no Do raise a webform and do email Sydney to get a better understanding of what is happening with your application.

As per immi tracker, I feel applications haven’t moved since mid January

I think people who have applied from Australia are just stuck! No movements in our files after the application is transferred back to Sydney, may be?

Thanks. I got all 9, 9, 8.5, 9 on the IELTS so I think that is high enough but wanting to get the best chance possible, my wife will do hers this week (hopefully similarly high scores) and both quals assessed. Don't want to leave anything to chance.
Good thing I believe is we can have her quals done after the EOI has been submitted so we can spread the expenses out a bit.

Sucks to hear all these tales of stuck applications for Aussie applicants, I wonder why. I hope that all gets resolved soon... for all our sakes.

I have a feeling my file hasn't been forwarded to Sydney, Australia as according to the latest GCMS, it says primary office is Sydney, secondary office is CIO. I guess this Sydney is meant to be Sydney NS.

Hi How much time it took for you to see your meds result uploaded to CIC by BUPA (Sydney, Australia) ?

 

[RDong]

Hi all, I have just received the reply from CIC that my application has been transferred to Sydney, Aus. Does it mean something positive?
