I guess our applications were in the same batch that was transferred Jan 28th. Our timeline is pretty much the same except for the fact that our app was received in Sydney 2 months earlier. (Sept. 13). I would say that is a pretty good timeline for you and you are very likely to get your PPR...

@Nidajk , nothing is safe to assume with CIC. There are cases where an e-mail, whether it is SA letter, AOR1 or Transfer letter, has not been received by applicant or sponsor. That is why I asked if ns85 knew for sure. @ns85 Were they able to give you any more info at all? Normally they would...

How do you know your application hasn't been transferred? Have you called CIC to confirm this?

@schweisy @MuAn Somehow, I am skeptic about Vienna office as they are normally pretty slow, but I appreciate your positive attitude and encouragement. Thank you both! :)

Thanks for the explanation and links @MuAn , I don't think I require these now, but who knows, it might come in handy if there are any delays. :)

"We are reviewing your eligibility" has been there since about the same time as BCG in process, Nothing has changed except for "Biometrics completed" and "Medicals passed" lines. :)

@schweisy I think we should finally admit that there is no logic in anything they do, whatsoever! :p I've added the BGC date on the spreadsheet, but will edit if anything changes. @MuAn Did this "criminality passed" line show up under PR section and is there a date stamp on it? Are you PR or...

Hi @gordiewow , This letter isn't a significant part of the process. In my opinion, they should not be confusing people by sending it before they receive their PPR/COPR. Most applicants get their PPR very quickly after Pre-arrival, but then there is a smaller number of those who still wait a few...

Yes, I didn't want to update the tracker spreadsheet with "BGC in process" because I didn't think it was possible that it was started right away after my AOR1. I figured it was a mistake or an automated thing. :) My husband lives in Serbia, but the flag I picked is what most resembles...

I could be wrong, but I think it is a fairly new part of the application process, since I don't remember seeing this prior to 2017 posts. CIC sends this letter once PR eligibility is completed. (some applicants claim they did not receive it prior to COPR, they got it after) Only BGC is left...

I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well for you and your spouse, @schweisy :) About the weird thing... our BGC line has also been the same from the beginning, I wasn't sure if that was just an automated message that would eventually change once it is completed. I hope that Pre-Arrival...

I received Pre-Arrival Services letter this morning, on behalf of my husband (PR). I wasn't expecting to hear from CIC for a while, so I am pleasantly surprised. However, I am not going to get my hopes up yet. From what I have read on the forum, this means that PR eligibility was passed and that...

It is really hard to say what timeline you can expect, but from what I have seen in other posts (this may just be my perception), applicants from Switzerland were getting their apps processed super fast, for example. I believe Netherlands, Germany and similar countries are somewhat faster than...

That is terrible. I saw a lot of June and July applicants being backlogged, but I thought they caught up by August/September. Obviously not and obviously, there is no consistency at all. For example, they picked up a lot of July/Aug/Sept/Oct applications before they picked up yours for...

That is insane! Have you called them at all? Any idea why such a huge delay? It really isn't fair, sorry you had to go through it, but hopefully it moves a lot faster from now on. Good luck!

@laport2018 I hear you ... same goes for Vienna VO, pretty slow, but hey, we have nothing to think about anymore... CIC is giving us peace. Everyone's completion date is 12 months from the submission. Isn't that just hilarious? :D;) I couldn't stop laughing at the e-mail they've sent...

Hi, I saw your VO is Vienna - same here. Not sure why your app was delayed even longer than mine, but CIC has their own ways of dealing with applications and there is nothing we can do about that, but try to be patient. As for the DM on your ECAS, if decision is positive (I assume it is), you...

This isn't AOR2, but keep checking your gckey status. I was worried about mine because I received a transfer letter on January 28th (generally AOR2 should come within 4 weeks of this date, I've read it in one of the CIC operation manuals) and there was nothing from my local VO confirming they...

I have previously read somewhere that everyone had to give biometrics now, regardless of when they submitted, but now that I have researched it a bit more and looked for official CIC info on this issue, it looks like you are correct. If not required at the time of submission, then biometrics...

Yes, we paid the biometrics fee right away, but even for you now, it should not delay things. It only takes a few days to get this done. My husband went for biometrics this morning. When I checked my GCkey today, it was already updated and medicals also changed to "passed" (these were done last...
