There is also a tracker that people are using so it gives estimated time and these past few months its showing fewer days to receiving replies from CIC but not sure how reliable it is.

Well if you look at my timeline below in my signature, and compared to people who applied earlier in 2019, I received a lot of the documents faster than they did, each under 1 month. But I wouldn't worry too much about that because it varies, I applied earlier and some people after me received...

Also, my husband completed his Medical exam in Manchester this past week and the doctor informed me that in April the prices will be going up as the Government of Canada now wants to test for Hep B and Hep C in addition to Syphilis, HIV, and Creatinine levels. We checked all the England offices...

Go to the CIC website, and enter in your details. This will give you a checklist and a list of all the forms you need. It will also list any specific country additional forms you need. READ the complete guide many times before starting, triple check everything with the checklist, provide...

I agree. If I knew how they question the wedding and the celebrations I would have had more people attend my civil marriage (however, I had a valid reason for not inviting people, not sure if CIC will find it valid enough but I can't change what happened in the weeks prior). I tried to convey it...

From what I've read, they do not always send an email. That's why I'm asking to see what else can indicate where it is moved? Yes it was received on Dec 23, my timeline is in my signature.

dec 23 applicant. Biometrics and medical given and passed. Already updated in account. Waiting for any change on file moving to VO. If there is no email, how else will I know where it is moved. ECAS still showing in process on PA side.

Yes unfortunately even if its genuine proving it is hard even with people who have more proof than your situation. Just having patience with the process and being prepared can help, but unfortunately these marriages and frauds are common so they need to have a level of scrutiny

Yes that is true. To be engaged, married in very short amount of time, creates red flags. Its not uncommon to have arranged marriages in Pakistani culture, and weddings are done fast too, but to have no traditional wedding in an arragned marriage, thats a bit strange. Also if you aren't...

I know you have posted this in a few places and while i agree in her situation what you are saying is possibly correct as she was in Pakistan, has pakistani passport etc, it can still be explained if you chose not to have a religious ceremony or traditional wedding. Such as in my case we are...

Yes, that is the advice because they look at relationships to see if they are genuine. We have the same concern as we didn't have a traditional wedding, but i explained in detail my reasons. For example, my husband is born in Pakistan but has Spain citizenship (living in UK), I am born and...

Very early to receive anything. Takes a few weeks, sometimes longer for some.

Unfortunately, that is the feedback I've received when I was submitting my application. We only had a civil ceremony in Canada as my husband can enter visa free. We had numerous reasons for not having a traditional or religious wedding which we explained throughly (as possible) in the form. Give...

Interesting to see what they will send me as we had no traditional wedding. The cover letter was a good idea, as they have a generic understanding of countries' cultures/traditions. When you sent the wedding photos, did you write on the back of them as they had asked in the checklist? or did...

Yes, a lot of application say background check in process when you link application to account. ECAS will change from in process to Decision made when you get Sponsor approval

You were right! BIL received Feb 5. SA Feb 6.

Hi guys, AOR Jan 11 and still no BIL or Medicals. I tried calling so no help there. Its almost a month since AOR. Just wondering if anyone knows what could be going on? What is slowing my application down? Anyone in the same situation?
