    File transfer from local VO to Beijing Visa Office

    How long did it take for people to get PPR from Beijing ? Last few I saw were the next day and we've now had Decision Made and Pre-Arrival for over a week. Any reason why they would delay ? Any chance we could run into still ?

    What are the reasons for delayed PPR ? If you receive DM, why would they take weeks or even months to send out PPR ? This is mostly out of curiosity, see if I need to worry about anything.

    Congrats ! That's really exciting ! I know the feeling. No news for over 2 months when we finally got DM on Saturday. Now hoping PPR isn't going to take another 2+ months !

    File transfer from local VO to Beijing Visa Office

    Our application was moved to Beijing VO and went "In Process" again on March 19th. Today, we received the invitation to the Pre-Arrival services as well as Decision Made on e-cas ! I was starting to lose hope (and faith haha), but one other step crossed. Now let's hope PPR isn't too far behind !

    We haven't even received Pre-Arrival or anything. I'd still take that as a win. No clue how they're working through the cases or what's going on, but yeah, hope is gone. It been silence for what seems like forever now.

    URGENT- PR spousal sponsorship paperwork returned

    We submitted Netherlands where we have been residing, but then they requested Australia where he lived for almost 7 years, and Finland. Guess it might be country of birth or something else, but definitely would make sense regarding the country of birth.

    That sounds like PPR, which would pretty much mean approval, yeah. Timeline ?

    URGENT- PR spousal sponsorship paperwork returned

    We applied in August 2020, so I doubt most of that changed since. My partner hadn't lived in Finland for significant amount of time since he was 18, and yet, this was requested. Anywhere where he lived for more than 6 months, they requested a PCC. Again, up to you. No one will force you to get...

    Oh, same thing ! I've been so frustrated seeing people applying in 2021 move so much faster. I've been trying not think about it and not to look at things too much, but it is so stressful and so important that its hard to just take that step back. The silence has been the worst. I've seen many...

    Hi ! We didn't have the upload option on GCKey, and it seems like that happens somewhat regularly if your account wasn't linked when the request was received. We simply did it via a webform. You do not need to mail in the police certificates (which is also what was requested from us).

    Anyone still waiting like me ? It has been complete silence on our application since April 6th when they confirmed our additional documents had been received. I'm honestly getting a little down over this whole process, its been weighing me down and stressing me so much. Ordered the GCMS notes...

    You can't check timeline on GCKey. Most people just keep track of every step they go through and when they receive specific requests, etc. Also, e-cas (right here : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html) may make timeline easier since...

    Which VO ? Our application is in Beijing and nothing since March 19th, 2021 since it went in process. We received Biometrics, Medicals and everything before our application was even moved to VO.
