It's difficult to follow fellow US applicants on the spreadsheets because of the way they are set up, but it seems like many of us are in a holding pattern in Mississauga after getting SA. Have any US outland spousal applicants applying under the new process had their files transferred to a VO...

I have almost the same timeline and also nothing since SA on June 12. Looking at the May spreadsheet it doesn't look like any of the US PA have had anything beyond SA. I'm not concerned. I think they are backlogged, and it sounds like Mississauga may be doing some of the screening for Ottawa.

It sounds like typical has been about 4-6 months, with a few outliers taking longer, based on the US Outland forum. If you haven't checked that forum out, I recommend it. It's not as active as this group, so you might have to scroll down a bit in the list of forums to find it, but it has...

Outland doesn't mean living apart. There are also those of us who are together while both living outside Canada and only a very short drive from extended family. So not everyone is separated family, and we are all eligible for Outland per the CIC. I think the goal of this forum is support and...

It took me a little over a month to get my AOR (received May 9). If you haven't already you can go to the May spreadsheet (see link in signature), request access, then add your information. You'll be able to see what step everyone's applications are in.

From what I can tell, US applications go to Ottawa. I guess I'll know for sure when we get our AOR2... :)

Timing of medical request depends on which visa office. Ottawa VO (and probably others) sends the request once the application is transferred there, but some applicants that will be processed at other VOs get the request before it is transferred.

Does it say View Only in the upper right corner area? If so, click on that and a drop down will show. Click on request access. If you have access, but don't know how to do the formatting etc., just put in your dates and someone else will do it for you.

Looks like an AOR2 since it is from Singapore VO. Congrats!

I got mine toward the end of the next business day (ECAS June 9, email June 12). Based on the May Outland spreadsheet it looks like a bunch of SA emails went out on the 12th.

I'm not an immigration specialist, nor do I play one on TV ;), but I read somewhere that if you choose Option 1 you lose your chance to appeal a negative decision. I would double check me on that though.

I have the same app received date and AOR1, but got my SA on the 12th.

Mine didn't generate a bar code, but it said Yes under validated in a little box on the upper right of the first page. I did mine before the new forms came out though (Jan 17).

It was almost 48 hours after receiving AOR1 (June 6th) that we were able to link the account, so that fits with what you are experiencing. I hope that helps.

My application was received on May 9, also got AOR1 on June 6. Was able to see on ECAS that sponsorship application has "Decision Made", but have not received the confirmation email yet. Maybe Monday?
