Hope so. Nothing new to report for us -- still waiting for SA. I'll feel better once that is done and the file is transferred so at least we're waiting in the final queue, rather than the first.

\ I know exactly what you mean. :D Sometimes I wonder if my constant checking of the spreadsheet is a good thing or not. Our timelines are almost identical and we both got AOR on the same day but your application is already in the hands of Ottawa and mine is still stuck at In Progress. I'd...

Go to the "General - All Canadian Immigration" forum and there is post pinned at the top which lists all the acronyms. Not sure if this link will work, but: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/immigration-acronyms-t3007.0.html

That's great. I'm happy to hear of anyone getting some news, in the threads I am following it seems like things have come to a standstill. I was so encouraged when we got AOR back on May 6 but then it has been nothing but silence. It's frustrating that Sponsorship Approval takes such a long...

I hear ya. We're soon going to be hitting the three year mark. Based on what we saw last year, when we submitted our application in April we were thinking "Six months is October, eight months would be Christmas -- either way, 2015 is finally our year." Now, it's looking like it could be 2016...

Based on what I have learned here, Ottawa typically doesn't do AOR2.

I think I'm going to drive myself crazy :o :P by constantly reviewing the spreadsheet and eCAS and we're only 38 days in. All the uncertainty around when my wife will finally be able to move here to be with me and not being able to plan anything. Could we be one of the lucky ones who gets...

Excited for those April applicants who have SA -- nothing new to report for us yet, one week since AOR.

Got our AOR yesterday! A small step, but at least it is progress. I've updated our info on the spreadsheet. :D

Sounds fun, but I'll be missing as I'll be spending a week with my wife in the US. At least that is one week that will pass really fast while waiting for her PR to come through.

I think for us it was almost two weeks. The credit card charge showed up on a Monday and the report was sent late the following week.

I would love to do this with my wife when the lease on her apartment comes up at the end of October since we likely won't have a decision made by then, but I'm not sure how she would go about maintaining proper ties to her home country. Even if we put her things in storage and she moved her...

Thanks. I have added our info to the bottom.

Greetings fellow April 2015'er. :D So happy that we finally have our application in the mail and the clock will actually start ticking for us. It will soon be three years since my wife and I became a couple and it's been a long road to finally get to this stage.

Our experience was almost identical. We submitted our request to the FBI in early December and the credit card we used expired in the meantime. We got the request for new card information, which we sent right away. Two weeks later the card was charged and the report arrived a few days later...

I wish I had read that sooner. My wife and I got married in January and we sat on our completed application until yesterday while waiting for the FBI report to come in. We were scared to death of submitting our application to the CIC and having the whole thing come back as incomplete and then...

Well, our journey is finally underway. We had been waiting for my wife's FBI Report to arrive and it finally showed up today so the whole package has been sent to Mississauga for processing. Very happy about finally getting our application in but very disappointed in the timelines we're seeing...

I guess I'm more anxious than frustrated. We knew it would be a long process. We thought we were so close back in the middle of May when I was asked to pay the RPRF but since then it's been complete silence from CIC. No change of status on ECAS, still just stuck at "Application Recieved"...

We have been fortunate that the stress of this process has not caused us to fight. We were able to work together on the process together over Skype and email and get everything submitted without conflict. Since then we just keep working on supporting each other when the stress over the wait...

It seems like such a crap shoot. Our application was received September 6, 2013. My sponsorship was approved September 23 and moved to Ottawa. April 11, 2014 we got an initial response back saying they wanted some additional documentation to prove our case. (We're applying as conjugal...
