Oh ok, I understand now. Yes, fingers crossed they don't ask and just send PPR! Keep us posted! :D

Anyone check out the September group lately? They are sharing their love stories, bah it's so heartwarming! <3 ;D

I'm creeping in here from the August group. :P You guys are so adorbs! Your stories are so beautiful and making me feel not so alone in this world, knowing others are living apart and trying to make their way through this silly process to just be together again. Much love to you all! May...

Hey, CaroM8 is bang on with this. Not having property, no work history/job to go back to, no travel history, these are the exact reasons CIC will turn you down. It totally sucks, but even with all of these things, they can still turn you down (which they do, a lot to people, happened to my...

That's so strange. I'm hoping for you that it arrives soon. As for the interview, how do you know you will have to do one? Perhaps they will open your app in Accra and just hurry it along. I hope they see your medical is soon expiring and extend it.

Oh no :( That's not fun at all, sorry to hear about that. So were you able to contact Accra to see if it was there? I'm trying to think about what else you can do, because 3 weeks is a while.... hmmmm...

Congrats everyone!! :D

Hey, they may have it but wont give AOR. Most of us didn't get one, I don't know if anyone did actually. Have you contacted them, to know it is definitely not there? Our file transfer notification was September 27th and they 'started processing' (which I took as our AOR2) on October 6th, so it...

I hope they haven't quit for the year. :( :o But if they have, they better speed through apps come January!!

Normally they make it good for as long as the medical is good for (1 year from the date you did it).

Hey, I'm from the August group, not Manila office though. I asked someone from that group though what their timelines are normally like for your VO and they said 12 months but that the people who are being processed in 2-3 months now are expedited cases, ie. sponsor about to give birth, etc...

That's a tough one. I would try and call CIC if I were your friend, it seems like a rare situation and you may need a more professional opinion. Best of luck!

Does anyone have that link to that really helpful page on how to do this? I would help you out but we have a lawyer/representative so we can't register for ECAS, so I don't know how to link the app. :(

It would say Background Check In Progress. And they won't always ask for additional documents. If everything you sent in they are satisfied with, you won't get a request for additional documents. From what I've witnessed on this forum from my time on here, and the obsessive stalking I did for...

Oh ok, that's interesting, thanks for the insight dyanaraloconsay. :) I've definitely toned down my obsessive compulsive desire to check myCIC everyday and creep the forums, but this waiting game sucks. I think too because it's the end of the year and things are slowing down, it's really hard to...

Background check in progress means they are on the last part of your application, and you should expect PPR soon ish after. The background check is the last thing that they look at before they provide a decision. Hope that helps.

Question for Manila applicants: what is the average processing times for your applications based on others who have been approved? (using cases from your VO specific forum only, not the CIC processing times site). Just curious. Thanks! :)

Like others said, it will stay In Process until Decision Made. And Decision Made could be months upon months. Background Check is the last thing to be In Process before Decision Made. What is your VO? You're in it for a minimum of 4-5 months anyways, and probably more depending on your VO. You...

Forte, I hear you, travel is so expensive. But I agree with the others, having your family present and ensuring you do the traditional rights is so important for the application. Visa officers are trained in customs and traditions and if you leave any out they want to see thorough explanations...

m Congrats to everyone reveiving PPR!!!! I am amazed at how quickly your VO is working, if only ours did. Accra has people waiting 8-10 months. :( but that's ok, patience is key. I'm so happy for all!! May it be a wonderful and warm holiday season for you! :)
