Yeah no doubt, I do feel for those who have to wait for so long.

Yep still waiting through Ottawa as well, getting a bit despondent seeing people who applied weeks after us get DM already.

I see what you're saying but, even if someone comes here to say I got DM on this date and applied on this date its at least some sort of information that we wouldn't have else wise known.

Telling people you got DM is a good thing though. It creates real life timelines people can follow

Any non Amercians been getting DM? Wondering if non Americans are quicker or slower through Ottawa, does CIC have to do any of the police checks on behalf of US applicants or is all sent in by the applicant?

They don't. You will know its arrived there when PR switches from application received to in process

But VO/nationality doesn't really have an effect on SA timeline. It's all processed at the same place.

Good chance it gets sent to Ottawa unfortunately. Sydney seems to be one of the best VO And yes still use the outland forms.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp And you will have to show that you intend to move to Canada. But yes I would start compiling the forms/documents and apply in the next few months. Allow 6-10 months for it to be processed.

We are pretty much identical in terms of AOR/SA and ecas status and we are through the Ottawa office so I wouldn't worry yet

We got sponsorship approval over two weeks ago and it still says 'in process' under sponsor on ECAS. Under permanent residency it switched from application to in process a few days after SA but we still only have one line. So in the same boat.

Was it sent to Sydney?

We called around the 72-73 day mark and were told it had been approved almost two weeks earlier. They just hadn't told us.

I dunno if there is anyone else from November out there waiting for SA past the processing time but I would suggest ringing, as they can 'forget' to send the SA email or letter as they did to us.

On their website you were able to get more specific data about the number of applicants and the time its took to process 20, 50 and 80% of those applications. On the flip side to this forum you must remember that people posting here make up a very small amount of the actual applications through...

Ok thanks. Looks like Ottawa is a bit slower than Sydney unfortunately.

Yeah i think so. We have 'In process' and just one line so far.

Hey, wondering if any non Americans who had their files sent to Ottawa could share their timeline? Thanks

Wondering if anyone has any insight as to why some applications get sent to Ottawa for non USA applicants?

Thats really quick
