    **----January 2019 Outland Application----**

    Yes, if it says updated and when you check there is nothing and the next time you log in it doesn't say updated it just says 'submitted' again. You may receive some communication from them in the next couple of days I think. If you are lucky it will be a DM! Have you checked ecas? Maybe it says...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Oh I see. Well it took her and I a few tries to link her UCI to GCKey. It locked the account a few times. Eventually I got it to work. I think the reason it wouldn't work was because we didn't include myself in the number of people applying for PR, so we only put 1. When I put 2 there, including...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Do you have your UCI number and Application number? Maybe you can try to use GCKey? Maybe it will work, or maybe it will tell you your file is already linked to another account (your representative's). It can't hurt to try. If it doesn't work, then I would insist that your representative show...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    It says the same as your husband's. The biometric info is there but at the bottom still says "we do not need...etc". Other people said that theirs changed to "completed". So in our case I guess it could mean that either marking it as completed is not important for our case officers, or, our...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    No they did not send an e-mail or any message when it arrived in Manila. That would have been AOR2 had they sent any sort of message. But, 4 days after it got transferred, on GCKey, it shows the application as "submitted" and, on Ecas, it says "We started processing your application on March...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Aww well hopefully you will hear something soon. Based on last year's applicants that actually updated the spreadsheet, the average time for MVO to send a passport request is around 250 days from date of arrival in Sydney. That's 8 months. Again that's average so I think it will take that long...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Actually the police check was requested right away by the Sydney office. Once it was transferred to Manila, they asked for AOM, and Biometrics. No passport request yet. January applicant. Medical, bio and all documents have been completed. Received Pre arrival at the end of April but nothing since.

    **----January 2019 Outland Application----**

    Normal, but had it stayed in Mississauga, it might have been finished faster as that seems to be the case for previous applicants. The Manila office is generally slower from what I have seen.

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Yes it's the normal process. It will either stay in Mississauga, or it will get transferred. If your case is easy and nothing out of the ordinary, it seems to be a 50% chance of staying in Mississauga or getting transferred to Manila. If there is anything that makes it more complex, like the PA...

    **----January 2019 Outland Application----**

    My understanding is that a Ghost update refers to when you log in to MyCIC, you will see that instead of "submitted" it will say "updated". When you open it, nothing has changed in anything else. If you log out and back in again, it will be back to the normal "submitted". There is no email...

    Canadian Citizens By Birth Sponsoring a Partner Thread.

    I am a Canadian Citizen by birth and I am not using a representative. Currently MyCIC/GCKey states no interview required, but it could change. I am not too surprised that the people that you know had their medical done so fast. We applied early Jan and received AOR, SA, and Med request before...

    Canadian Citizens By Birth Sponsoring a Partner Thread.

    I agree with the others, Canadian by birth experiences no faster treatment. I have been lurking on the forum for a while and the only thing that may make a difference for some, is the Visa Office which processes the application, once it is transferred from Sydney. If your case gets sent to CPC-M...
