I got the SA hardcopy Mail on 2nd of feb as file will be transferred to NDVO.
But in the Hardcopy it is dated to 15th of Jan when my ecas changed to Decision made.
Medical passed on 21st Jan
Nothing after that.

Well, I see few of the files getting transferred to a different VO too stating NDVO. Is it okay to check with them? And if so to whom and how to check?

Just from what I have read and heard seems extremely slow. I hope for you and everyone else it picks up. Mine went to HK and from SA email saying it would be transferred was roughly 12 days. From received to processing was only four. Some mention generally a few weeks to received at PA vo. Monitor and see. I also heard some are being sent from NDVO to other regions which is a good sign.

Hey everyone, I just received another email from IRCC (yay), this time addressed to my wife, the principal applicant. She hasn't received any emails yet, just what i forward to her after i get it. Thought that was odd since we both gave our contact info.

Anyways that's not what i'm here here for... Our latest email read "This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2020/07/23". There was no date at the top of the letter as in previous ones, and it was identical to the one i received to myself a few weeks back but instead of "permanent residence" it was "application to sponsor...". And on the bottom the address for this latest email was The Consulate General in Hong Kong opposed to the initial one saying Centralized Intake Office in Sydney.

This might be a dumb question, but is this our AOR2? Saying it has successfully been received at the new VO?

I went onto ECAS (still having no luck with stupid GCKey!), and there is no change since i last went on it, and still says in process and if i click it it just tells me that they sent out request for medical on Jan 28th and to get it done...even though my wife went for her medical on Feb 4th. Thought that would have been updated by now.

Regarding GCKey, i'll keep trying everyday, different combinations, but i'm not holding my breath. How important is it? Am i missing out on something there i cant get or see otherwise?

Anyways, as always thanks for all the input! this community is so great and makes me feel a little better every time i pop on!

Cheers

My SA e-mail took a few days to arrive after DM in ECAS. Still waiting for medical, I got BIL almost a month ago. Also my ECAS / GCKey seems to not be updating... nothing saying "we sent you BIL....." or "we sent you SA..."
Hi Alexn. Hope you are well. Just wanted to ask have you received your MR yet?
Thank you.

how long in average after getting AOR does the SA comes ? I receive AOR1 a month ago and no SA yet, is it normal that it takes this long? is it took early to request gcms ?

There is no fix time for Sponsor Approval but usually it does not take long.
You can order GCMS notes now because it will take 1 month to come.
In my case I am waiting since 3 months for Sponsor Approval.

I received the "Biometric Instruction Letter" just now via email.... is this our AOR?
Application arrived in Sydney on July 2, 2020 and ths is the first thing we've received to date.

If we got this then the applicant won't be returned I assume?


Data Point: Email arrived at 3:00PM PST
ECAS still shows no information / file not found

Hey Folks
My spouse did her medical on 28th November.
They submitted medical on first week of December still it is not showing in Ecas or in GC key.
I called them regarding that and they told me they received it but still not updated in the system.
My file moved to Ottawa VO on 16 November, no update after that.!
