Thank you for your response and kind wishes. Patience is what I wish for everyone the most during this holiday season and the next months... our time will come, surely. Merry Christmas to you also! :) :)

Great! Have you also received your SA in the meantime? :) I hope things move a bit faster from now on...

That's what I am thinking too. We will be ready to re-submit, if asked, so that there are no delays. I see you are in your final stages, almost at PPR. That is great. Keep us posted and good luck! :)

Congrats! Looks like they are finally catching up... I also received my AOR1 today. App received at Sydney on Sept. 13th, PA is from Serbia and I am the sponsor in Canada. I hope the next stages don't take too long. Good luck to all! :)

Not necessarily. Sometimes they completely miss this step. It's happened to some members of the forum, but it doesn't affect the process. You should be receiving your SA soon, hang in there for a few days. This is good news after such a long wait.

Maybe I was just lucky when I called then. Never had this issue. Best to keep trying then until it works. :)

I am not sure why the call would end automatically. Are you calling from Canada? Does it connect you or it doesn't go through at all? It may be due to high call volumes at certain times, so try calling at different times of the day. You are better off calling early in the morning. Also...

Thank you for your thorough input. It makes sense. I believe you are right about classifying according to PA's country. I've seen certain applicants get their AORs within a month or so and getting their entire process complete in about 4 months. Several members of this forum from Switzerland...

I was wondering about that myself. My husband's PCC expires in a couple of weeks and we haven't even received AOR1 yet. They may or may not ask for another one, but the good thing about that is that now we can upload the document through IRCC webform and also it doesn't take long to get another...

If calling from Canada, phone # 1-888-242-2100 If calling from another country: +1 613 944 4000 Then follow instructions. When it asks for an application number, press any number, it will tell you that your application is not found, but later on it gives you an option to speak to an agent, I...

Nobody can give a definite timeline for the rest of the process, as each case is different and it depends how busy their office is during the next several months. I would say, on average, Vienna takes 4-7 months, as they try to process most apps within 12 months from the moment your app is...

I am still trying to understand how agents at a certain CPC are working on applications, since the moment they receive them in their mailroom. When you look at timelines from applicants who submitted within the last few months, they are all over the place and make no sense whatsoever. IRCC is...

I am pretty sure they managed to confused everyone with that. I remember reading that part over and over and over again and I still was not completely sure that I understood. CIC has a way of complicating things way too much instead of simplifying to avoid mistakes because that just creates more...

I will let someone else answer to your concerns above because I am not familiar with how US-Canada cases work exactly, but I can tell you for sure that the term "family members" for medical exam purposes only refers to children and spouses. If your wife had children, regardless of whether they...

Hi Karachi1, I don't know when your husband landed in Canada exactly, but I do know that there is a 3-month waiting period before he can apply. Here is a useful website where you can find all answers. It may be wiser to apply when he comes back to Canada next time. By that time, he will have...

Right here it states that the processing time starts when they receive an application in their mailroom, as long as it is a complete application. If incomplete, they might return it and the processing time in that case will start when they receive it the 2nd time...

Yes, this is AOR1. Congratulations! Applicant should be receiving a medical request soon and you will get another e-mail when sponsorship is officially approved. This gives hope to the rest of us, September applicants, that our time is coming. :)

You can try this one for calling from another country: +1 613 944 4000 Some applicants managed to get through and most of them used Google Hangouts, from what I saw in numerous comments. Good luck!

No need to worry. Most of us are past a 2 month mark (which was supposed to be their norm, according to the agent I spoke with yesterday) In fact, there really is no "normal" when it comes to IRCC. They do not promise a certain time frame. There are periods when they are completing the first...

Hello, Mine was received at Sydney on Sept. 13th and from what I can see on this forum, most of September applicants have not received AOR1 yet, so yes, almost everyone else has been waiting that long. Only a few got it so far. There are many August and even some July applicants who have not...
