February 2020 Spousal sponsorship Outland
- Thread starter asv_21084
- Start date
all it means is that decision about Sponsor eligibility has been made, doesnt matter when it changed.
Hi, I am from Gujarat. I checked biometric offices are not open yet. Hopefully they open by next month.
Hi All,
I have few a question regarding my application.
1. At what stage does the background check of PA takes place? FYI: PA is from India. Immediately after I received AOR1 GC key showed background check in process. I thought background check is takes place after biometrics and medical examination results has been received by IRCC and the application has been moved to VO. Not sure why in my case the background check was initiated right after AOR1? Does it mean after the application has been moved to the VO we will directly get PPR as background check would be done by then? Can someone please clarify?
2. PA has received biometrics request but VAC in Ahemdabad, India is currently closed. Is there any Sponsor or PA on this thread from this city who has any idea about VAC re-opening date? Their website shows closed till September 30, 2020; but they keep extending the closure from past few months.
3. After medical examination has been given, how will IRCC notify us that the results has been received and medical examination has been passed? Approximately how long it takes?
4. Can file be moved to VO after medical examination passed, even if the biometrics is still pending?
Here is my application timeline:
-> Application delivered at Sydney, NS: January 2, 2020 (as per courier tracking number)
-> AOR1: March 1, 2020 (AOR1 stated IRCC received application on February 19, 2020. No idea what happened to my application for 7 weeks after it was delivered till I got AOR1. Tried to reach out to IRCC to get explanation for this, but all I got was the standard response)
-> Background check in process: March 1, 2020
-> Biometrics requested: September 17, 2020
-> Medical Examination requested: September 18, 2020
-> Medical Examination given: September 21, 2020 (tomorrow)
-> Decision made for SA on ECAS: September 18, 2020 (I did not get any email regarding what the decision is about, but assuming its SA)
Thanks!

That’s awesome, congrats! Very similar timeline here, if you don’t mind me asking did you ever get notice about your app being transferred to VO and if so when did you receive it?
Ah yes! Forgive me, left that part out. Transferred to Mississauga visa office on February 28, 2020 (sponsor received an email about it).
