Question:Is it worth checking ECAS couple of times per day for AOR, or they are entering the data once per day?
Documents received Aug.08 and still nothing.

Ah, thank you! I thought perhaps you were somehow able to link before getting AOR (which a few people here have done it looks like)
I think those people that are able to check probably have UCI’s from previous Visa’s etc..

I am in the same boat, application received on July 24. Not sure what happened there. I checked the past month trackers and couldn't find this trend in previous month applications. Hope to get the AOR soon.
Same boat as you...App rec'd July 24...... no AOR yet...

Hi,
I have taken the medical exam on Sept 25, and the clinic said they have submitted the result on Sept 27 via eMedical system. But in my GCkey account, there's still showing I have a request to take medical exam.

How do I know whether the clinic really did submit my medical result? Is it normal?

Thank you

I've tried calling CIC during business hours of ET. No luck. Cannot even get hold of an agent. I also get the automated response saying they can't advise on application status because there's technical issues going on. My app was received on Aug 7th.

This is just a theory but perhaps they are opening all the applications, doing all the work on the back end and the backlog is actually with the uploads? which is why everything after the AOR is coming so rapidly.
That sounds plausible and sorry if this sounds silly but why would that affect Late July - Mid August applicants? If backlog is caused by uploads, wouldn't that affect the people who are starting to hear back also?

I guess we can only hope that there is a logical explanation for it. BUT on their website it does say that apps are processed in the order they are received which doesn't seem to be the case for us.

hi guys! I need some advice.
We got Aor, Sa, bio and medical request.

We just realized that on Imm5669.
We have missed 2 travels abroad. We included them on the yr he was not working.

And also did you include short travels that are 2-3 days? The form only has a year and month.

Should we just wait? Or should we send a new form online?

At this point anything you send should be requested by them.
Only send new information if you need to update (new address, etc)

Thanks! Yes ill wait if they ask for an addl doc.

Though i sent a webform bec i made a mistake on one of the suite # On my past history address. Its something minor but I just want to make that correction now. :)

So nervous but excited.

Bio is booked on oct 1 and medical oct 10.

Do they wait for medical and bio before they forward it to a Vo? Thanks

I think Biometrics and Medical are usually done before the forward to the VO.
