If you have worked or attended education programs in Canada, it shows you are settling down, so CIC will favorably look at your file. For example, my wife had not worked, but she had attended an ESL class for a few months, and she received an RQ. Hope this helps. Bikar

Welcome to this forum Driss. Everybody's case is different, but people with similar timelines to yours have already been invited to take the test. If you have work/education experience, you might be invited in a month. Bikar

I am still waiting. I hope I'll receive my test test by the end of August.

Thanks Flocan. So it seems if your file is transferred to a local office, your background check and everything else is good, and you should just wait for your test date. Bikar

Thanks Flocan, but how can I know my background checks are done? Do agents provide such information? Thanks again. Bikar

Hi Flocan, Could you please explain how you know your background checks were completed on that date? Thanks for sharing this. Bikar

Hi Spellbinder, It's understandable that agents cannot say anything else. They have to say what is officially on the CIC website (24-36 months). The reality is that it could take as little as four months. If you have some work/education history, it should take an average of 8 months. Hope...

Hi Spellbinder, I have a feeling that the Received Line disappears a couple of weeks after the file is transferred to a local office. And I also think some agents do not even bother to pull out your file to look at. I also think once the Received Line disappears, it shows either of these two...

Hi Zulkfal, Do you know if/when your received line disappeared? What about transfer to a local office? Thanks for sharing this, Bikar

Thank you very much for this information. Bikar

Once again congratulations Zaynab. Could I ask you how you know when your brother's file was transferred to Scarborough? Thank you very much, Bikar

Congratulations Zaynab, Was the ecas updated to show a letter of invitation was sent to him? Did you ever call CIC? How is it possible to know an application has been transferred to a local office? Thanks for sharing this, Bikar

This is good news, though nobody knows for sure what it actually means. Have you ever called CIC? Do you know what your local office is? Thanks, Bikar

Hi everyone, I need to know when my application was transferred to a local office. Could you please explain how to know? I called CIC more than a month ago to get an update and the agent told me my application was transferred to a local office, but when I called a month later, another agent...

Hi Everyone, Could you please update your status. I start with mine: Application received: February 5, 2014 Ecas in process: March 18, 2014 AOR received in the post: March 31, 2014 Received line disappeared: June 13, 2014 Waiting ...

Hi Keshaer, Could you explain the abbreviations on the spread sheet? Thanks, Bikar

Thanks Blueshirt, I don't know why she got the RQ, but she has never worked in Canada and that might be the reason. CIC received her RQ back on May 10, and they sent her the test date on June 29. We received the letter just today, and the ecas has now four lines, line four says they have sent...

I don't think applications before Feb 6 are any slower. To give you an example, my wife applied in November 2013, received the booklet in March 2014, received an RQ in April and submitted the completed RQ and supporting documents in May (3.5 Kg!!), and she received her test date just today. So...

Hi Kelshaer, How do you know your security check has completed? Did you call CIC? Could you please explain? Thank you for sharing your experience. Bikar

Phone CIC and explain. They will tell you what to do.
