Still nothing for me. I ordered case notes October 8th (with IP happening October 9th). I got the GCMS notes last weekend, and nothing had changed since my last GCMS order in August. Mind you, they pulled the notes on October 14th—9 days before I got an additional documents request and only 5...

Like Krishnalynn said, SA comes after AOR. The process is as follows: 1. Send in your application 2. AOR - comes approx. 30 days after application arrives in Mississauga 3. SA - comes approx. 30 days after AOR. Your file will then be sent to your secondary VO. 4. AOR2 - comes a few days...

If you sent it October 13th, then I'm going to assume you'll get AOR next week or the week after. I'd feel more confident about saying what the average is this time of year, but the September and October data on the 2015 Outland Applicants (I have linked in my signature) seems to really lacking...

There are still those from February and March who are US Applicants and still are waiting, while there are also a handful from May who've received PR. There's really no accurate way to gauge how long it'll take; much of it is luck of the draw. I'd say it could range from 6-12 months for US...

They've said that the refugee applicants will not affect other applicants trying to immigrate; they're handing it with different personnel. Don't forget, too, that in the time period that October applicants submitted, Thanksgiving and a Federal Election took place. Tack on a few extra days to...

Hey, Decoy. Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I'm assuming that you're filing as married versus common law since you're waiting for your wedding to take place before you file. I just wanted to offer a bit of advice: I wouldn't send in your application until you've ordered and received your...

AOR typically happens 1 month after the application is received, give or take a few days. SA typically happens 2 months after the application is received, or approximately 1 month after AOR. Some people may see times closer to 40 days. Check out the spreadsheet in my signature, and you can...

As Andrew-Brit said, only you need to sign the form. I print it, sign it, and scan it to a PDF, then upload where they ask for it. I'll let everyone in this May thread know what my notes say when I get them. I know Cali2BC, who's also a May applicant, ordered hers a week or two after me, so...

Welcome, csanti! You are actually able to add yourself to the spreadsheet! (The link is in my signature at the bottom of my post.) Scroll to the bottom of it, and input your information they require. ;) If you need help doing it, let me know and I will add you, but you can absolutely do it...

As others have mentioned, you're looking at 3-7 weeks or so for Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR). After that, it's likely another 4-8 for Sponsorship Approval (SA). SA is the last step before your application leaves Mississauga to your secondary VO. Some VOs will send you AOR2 either by mail...

It only takes 30 days to receive GCMS notes once you order them. I would guess that since your application was only received at the end of July (essentially August), you'd absolutely get the notes before you get DM. Doesn't hurt to order them. I've ordered mine twice since May when I sent in...

Re: Emergency Please: Common Law Form? I've been a member of the forum less time than even you, but my opinion is that it's likely an oversight on their part. If I were you, I'd do the following in order: - Reply to CIC email (like you did), making the CIC aware of the mixup. - Have my...

Congrats on DM, and thanks for your timeline. It helps! Best of luck to you and the start of your new life!

I received IP on October 9th, and I haven't seen anything. I got the standard email, request for additional documents and RPRF last week on the 23rd. Several people said the DM timeline is usually two months from the email requesting additional documents, give or take. I'm hoping for DM in...

I went here to http://www.visadoctor.ca. It was perfectly fine. The doctor was nice, and everything went swiftly. All the labs were nearby. I'd compare the prices of other doctors and go from there.

I applied for an address change in early July. Over a month went by with no observable change on ecas. I ordered GCMS notes in late July, that arrived in August, showing my new address. 3 months after the address change request, ecas finally changed it. It might be worth ordering GCMS notes if...

Hey InLove, Congrats on the email. A lot of us got that same one today, and it's a great sign of our applications moving closer to DM. It's a batch email sent by the CIC when they begin looking at the information the sponsored person's PR. The email doesn't actually specify if you are...

Hey Schi, I've done something similar, but I'm extremely fortunate in that my spouse is paying for largely everything while I'm "visiting." If I had to do it all over again, I likely would have continued working in the US and flown in every month to see her like we'd been doing. Or, I'd have...

My spouse's lease has only her name on it. We purposefully didn't include it on the original lease so the CIC wouldn't think I was living there, though our landlord knows my situation of waiting for my application to be approved. Our landlord has agreed to add my name to the lease after my PR is...

Since they didn't specifically ask your for a new medical, I'm going to assume you're okay and don't need another one. They'd ask for that separately. You can email them with a case-specific inquiry, but there's a good change they extended the expiration date of your medical. As I understand it...
