According to the 2017 workbook (spreadsheets), only 3 applicants have had their file transferred to the Ottawa VO. Does anyone know if the Ottawa VO is no longer processing outland applications? I am a US citizen who is married to a Canadian citizen, and we are both living in Canada with no...

I wish I knew the answer. Perhaps give them a call next week to verify receipt.

I don't know. The timing for processing is anyone's guess unfortunately.

No. The update in GCKey about my background check being in progress changed on May 26, 2017.

I know my background check is in progress because that's the status in my GCKey account, as of the last update on May 26, 2017. Also, ECAS states this: "We started processing your application on May 10, 2017."

Does the Ottawa visa office provide helpful information in their emailed replies? What types of information have they actually given to you?

Has anyone whose file has been sent to the Ottawa visa office tried calling or emailing them for a status update? The immigration web site states that the Ottawa visa office will not provide routine status updates, but I am curious if anyone has had any success in contacting them.

My background check has been in progress since May 26, 2017, with no updates or requests since then.

You can use the online tool to check your status. You access it by selecting "Check Application Status" on the immigration site.

When I log in using GCKey, I see a statement that I passed the medical exam. However, in ECAS the status shows that medical results have been received, but no mention of passing.

If you see the message in ECAS that states, "We started processing your application on <insert date>," then yes, that is the third line.

Good morning. It appears we applied around the same time in March. Before receiving this email, had you already received any updates in either ECAS or your online account (through GCKey)? Right now my statuses show: ECAS: "We started processing your application on May 10, 2017." GCKey: "We are...

I do not know the answer to your question. From what I have read on this forum, the request comes with two separate lines to upload in myCIC. But again, I cannot say for certain. Perhaps someone else can shed some light.

I just looked through my files. Apparently selecting an interview location was on the old set of forms from 2016. Applying for PR as a US citizen, the interview locations offered were Los Angeles and New York City. As of this year, this form is no longer valid. My apologies.

The request in myCIC (GCKey) for me was only for the Schedule A (IMM5669). Of course, I had already provided my police certificate from the FBI in my initial application package, so that may be why it was not requested nor showing as available to upload in myCIC.

If I am remembering correctly, I had to select an interview location of either Los Angeles or New York City on the initial application for Family Class Sponsorship (Outland). I too am a US citizen.

No, on 1-May-2017 my sponsor received an email from CIC stating that my file was being sent to the Ottawa visa office. Then I checked the online tool (ECAS) yesterday (11-May-2017) and an additional line had been added stating that my application started being processed on 10-May-2017.

I used the online tool (not GCKey) to look up the information. Neither my sponsor nor I received an email about Ottawa beginning to process my application.

When you enter the information, make sure that you enter it exactly as how you submitted the information on your PR application. Otherwise, it will never work.

Use your last name, since you are the primary applicant. And you would put 2 (1 for you, 1 for your husband - and more if you have children included in the application).
