Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my timeline with you: Online application submitted: May 25, 2023 Application approved and PR card out for delivery: July 27, 2023 I am now waiting to receive the card in the mail. After submitting my application on the online platform I received no...

Actually being part of the European Union, Spain is a Visa-free (or visa-exempt) country. I've heard that applicants from the visa-exempt countries do not need to send in their passports and will only receive a COPR letter (which is issued for anyone regardless of their nationality). So you most...

Hi all, Yesterday we saw quite a bit of progress on our file! There was a ghost update on GCkey early in the day and we later got pre-arrival letter. Applicant's status on ecas is also changed to decision made now. I guess we are getting very close to the end of this long journey! This is our...

Congrats! You need to send your passport itself (at least I know that's the case for applicants from non Visa-free countries, as they need the passport to actually put the visa sticker on). The PPR (USUALLY) comes after the DM. This can range from a few days to a few months (hopefully only a...

Hi all, We finally received our file transfer email last week!! (It took almost 8.5 months after our file was received) We also did biometrics and medical back in April. Looking forward to hearing more updates.

ATIP notes include officers' notes on your application and some more details. Not always insightful but in some cases can shed some light on the application. you can order it here: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do It takes more than one month to receive them.

It took exactly one month.

Hey everyone, I know I keep asking this question every few months, but I was wondering if there is anyone here still waiting for file transfer. We are Jan 2019 applicants STILL waiting for out file transfer!!! Have done our Bio and Medical in March 2019. Recently received ATIP notes and there...

We are Jan 2019 applicants and still no file transfer! this is becoming really frustrating!

We are on the same boat. Jan applicant and Sponsor approval+medical+biometrics done in early April and nothing ever since. This is really frustrating but I believe we should expect to receive the transfer any time now (usually the late transfers happen around the 8 months time point). Seems...

Thanks, I really hope our file is also being worked on before the file transfer. By the way, may I ask how long it took you to receive the file transfer?

I think the information they provide at the call centre is sometimes completely irrelevant! First off they could not comment on why it has taken more than 7 months for the file transfer at all! then they told us that our file will be transferred to London, but knowing the nationality of my...

I actually don't know about the biometric letter. But living outside canada if you're a citizen should be fine. How did they find out that you're living outside Canada? Did you declare it yourself?

Hi everyone, We still haven't received the file transfer email after more than 7 months! (Jan applicant, medical and biometrics were done before mid April). Anyone else one the same stressful boat?!

Thanks again for the response. Actually our visa office is none of those and it's not also known to be notoriously backlogged! I also don't think the delay in file transfer is necessarily liked to having paid the biometrics fees upfront cause we paid the biometrics upfront and did both the bio...

Thanks for the suggestion. However I did call them a few weeks ago and they said they have not yet transferred my file.

I called IRCC a while back and they said they are processing our security screening. The operator said however, for the cases when the security is done before the file transfer, they try to do most of the work at IRCC in parallel to the screening, so after the file transfer it would take shorter...

We're also Jan 2019 applicants. Biometrics and medical were done in March 2019 and no news ever since. As far as I know, there are a few other applicants with similar timelines still waiting for file transfer! Don't know why it's taking them so long to transfer our file while many other Jan 2019...

Hi all, I wanted to touch base again with everyone who are still waiting for the file transfer. The last time I checked (which was about a month ago), these applicants said they are still waiting for AOR2: @sveta @visheshkathuria @Beatkedd @Adeena @LeticiaKay @beethoven5 Have you guys received...

Yes our biometric was received on March 18, 2019
