It depends on what country the applicant comes from and the reliability of the relationship.

Not sure. I like to think that it has something to do with us being a legitimate couple and having as straight forward an application as possible.
Don’t overthink it, we haven’t.
That’s amazing it only took 74 days for you. Congrats
.. But, to ask people in a situation like this not to overthink something who are also legitimate couples and could also have straight forward applications is a bit ridiculous lol. Of course you’re not overthinking it, it happened to you. Everyone here has the same goal but unfortunately not the same time frame. You can be excited for yourself but have some compassion for everyone else still waiting.

I know eh. Love the way it was posted : something to do with us being as legitimate couple, as if everyone else has a marriage of convenience but you. LOL.That’s amazing it only took 74 days for you. Congrats
I would give a call to IRCC, Peter. Don't send a an application again. It will create unnecessary confusion
Honestly, it’s different for everyone from what I’ve seen. I’m sure it’ll happen soon
Thanks a lot!Honestly, it’s different for everyone from what I’ve seen. I’m sure it’ll happen soon
Do we get a notification or any indication when the medical is uploaded? I know when a decision on the medical is made, there is clear indication. The reason i'm asking is because the doctor's office sat on uploading the medical results for a week. They promised to do it tomorrow and I really want to believe them. But, they also said they would be uploading within 48 hours which was would have been last week Wednesday. Short of me calling them everyday now, the only option I have is to check ECAS.
I'm sorry that you read something negative in my post, I can assure you it was not meant to be. I'm sure 99.9% of the people here, including the person who asked how it was possible ours was done so fast are legit couples.That’s amazing it only took 74 days for you. Congrats
Lol. That's cute. Read what I said above. ^^
Good luck everyone, I truly mean that but the level of pettiness and the amount of "I SENT MY APPLICATION IN BEFORE YOU, THIS IS UNFAIR!" around these parts is somewhat ridiculous.
We all want the same thing, it happens at different times. When I said "Don't overthink it, we didn't" it was meant to be a "don't let our timeline bother you, others didn't bother us. It is what it is". Other people got theirs quicker than us who lodged after us. You can't sweat that stuff.
That's all. No hard feelings eh?
There could be so many factors as to why some applications take longer than others, even though IRCC says applications are processed in the order that they're received, unless we have insider insight as to what's going on at the IRCC offices, we can only speculate. Reasons which seem silly but can include things like the clerk or visa officer who is looking at your application happens to be more skeptical than the officer who handled someone whose application got processed faster. The PA's country's local visa office may be short staffed, or they are better organized to handle high volume, who knows. Heck, one of my friends even suggested that PAs from commonwealth countries get a quicker processing. As I said, pure speculation.
Not to mention, for whatever undisclosed reason IRCC did miss 3 weeks' worth of application so processing time is a bit out of sync anyway and not happening chronologically (e.g. some people who got AOR1 first, have had to wait for the earlier applications to get their AOR1 before they got their Biometrics and Med requests - according to a few forum posts anyway).
But I completely understand the plight of those who are watching their peers' applications get processed meanwhile not hearing a peep from IRCC about their own and these speculative reasons does nothing to help reassure them.
With all due gratitude for the wealth of information provided in these forums I do feel in times like these, seeing a side by side comparison of other applicants' progress can be both a blessing and a curse. Had it not been for this forum, I wouldn't get the helpful answers to some case-specific questions that helped me put our application together. At the same time, I can't help but ask "is there something I could have done with our application to make it progress as quick as others?"
So I will just count my blessings and move forward. Congrats to those who got their PPR and/or COPR, we'll get them too. Those who are behind in the process, have faith. It's probably not something you want to hear, but your time will come too. Keep us updated, we're here for you.
