CIC does not operate based on batches. The only part of the application that can be predicted is the AOR, everything else is CIC / VO / case specific.

I am relocating from the UAE so flying into Montreal. With regards to the CSQ is it a single paper however it came with a set of supporting documents.

There is no specific answer. CIC will assign the applications to VO's based on their load.

Nothing else I am preparing for. My other list is logistics related to the relocation itself.

What does it say about medical? The current message is a indication that the background check process / review is the next step. Also it does not seem that they are waiting on anything from you.

This is the same list that I am preparing for my landing.

Make sure you have a copy of the application that you submitted and try to follow these instructions: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/method-of-tracking-federal-status-before-aor-t455832.0.html

Well you will notice it on some members and even in the profile is it one of the dates that you can set. And yes processing has definitely started on your side.

It would be interesting to get feedback from other New Delhi VO applicant.

Start by creating an account: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp

Are you inland applicant?

That is correct. It is from the date CIC recieves the application.

As the other fellow applicants suggested, life continue as usual. You should only start looking at timing when you complete your medical. The landing visa once issued will be valid one year from the medical exam date.

The next step is medical and RPRF. They usually come together but it is not a must. And yes, I will probably create few monthly post to share how I am preparing and hopefully few post landing.

It is strange that CIC is communicating via mail. My understanding is that AOR is sent over email. Even when it comes to the other requests, they are all sent over email. It is good that you have access to your account using ECAS, you can also link it using GCKey which will provide additional...

Yes when GCAS indicates that application processing has started, it means the file has been transferred. This is my understanding at least based on my own experience.

There is no exact time for that part of the process and there is no second AOR. However GCAS will state that processing has commenced and this is an indication of the transfer.

It depends on how complex is your file. The more PCC you have, the more confirmations they need to do. Also it depends on your VO. When I was checking London VO and reviewing past cases it was between 3 and 8 weeks.

Based on your residency, your expected visa office is Au Dhabi. However and based on CIC, your file will not necessarily be transferred to that office. Files are distributed based on other criteria. There is a possibility that it might be managed by London VO.

What did the PPR email state about the time you have to wait before contacting them regarding the passport. You should bear in my mind that each timeline is specific to a case. The median amount of time can be used as an indication only.
