Is there anything related to your application that makes it to stand out from regular ones? Such as previous removal orders, violating visa terms outstanding documentation or documentation that needs to be verified by the visa office because they have doubts for whatever reason?

As of today our background check section says it hasn't started yet and we will be contacted once it does. Something like that and that never changed since we linked the application in February. When did you apply? Maybe it is different for 2021 applicants.

If you linked your application to a cic profile you can see it in there. It has all the steps such as biometrics, medical exam etc and has the status for each of them. For a background check it clearly states if it has been started or not.

I have tried ordering GCMS notes more than a month ago and no reply on that side. I also emailed pertaining to the status of notes and received an auto reply saying there is a delay on that side too. Tried contacting local MP last November when we were still waiting for AOR and they haven't been...

Has anyone received an update recently from Ankara visa office after their application was put in "application in process" status (after submission of medical results etc) ? Our application stayed at this stage with no updates since April and it has been 12 months since we applied... I tried...

Thanks for sharing. Is there someone else who recently heard anything from Ankara VO?

Guys can you please share if anyone received any updates from Ankara visa office this week? I think the last time I saw someone getting an update was 2 weeks ago. That was pertaining to subsequent steps after medical results were received, which means it was provided by Ankara visa office, not...

As local and Canadian holidays are finally over has anyone received any update from Ankara visa office recently besides smth related to medical exam as that may be handled by other departments?

I know. This is why I wrote in the worst case scenario you can utilize a courier service by visiting any bordering country such as Georgia and use their office address to get your passport back.

Guys, as all No worries. Even if you won't be able to visit a vfs in person in Georgia you may still send your package out of there with a courier. I believe there are no restrictions on that part. For a return address you can provide a courier's office contact details and pick up your passport...

I have read about many Iranians recently approved for PR and they somehow managed to get a visa in their passport. Therefore, I believe you shouldn't worry about it at all as once you will receive a passport request, you will be provided clear instructions to follow. They also include country...

Thanks for sharing. Congrants with updates on a Medical Exam! If anyone else received something from Ankara V.O. this week please share with us.

Guys if anyone has received any updates from Ankara VO this week please share. Especially would love to hear from those who applied in 2020.

The next step for you would be to receive a confirmation that medical results were received (usually takes 2-3 weeks) and then you will need to wait till VO provides any further updates. We applied in August 2020, and haven't received any updates since February. I tried sending emails, web...

Thanks for replying. It means we lost another week of processing time.

Does anybody know if Canadian Embassy in Ankara is open during this week of holidays? Please share if you receive any updates.

Your situation seems to be unique as I haven't heard of anyone paying for an authorisation to return to Canada. Are you from a visa exempt country? Or I misunderstood smth? We applied for spousal sponsorship in August, 2020, passed medical exam in February and haven't received any updates...

Probably it doesn't mean much. They might have a 2 stage process for all files and the first can be a high level quick assessment to make sure nothing is missing and the 2nd stage might be about making a decision. This is just my guess, but from what I read it doesn't look as smth to be worried...

Guys I know I keep posting similar things, but please continue sharing your time line especially if you got an update after medical results were received. This is very helpful mentally for those who have been waiting for a long time due to covid.

Congratulations! That was very fast! Your spouse should arrive to Canada by the time your medical exam expires (valid for 1 year). May I ask primary applicant's country of origin?
