Hi everyone,

I submitted my passports to ADVO on April 3, and yesterday got an email that my profile was updated, and saw that my Final Decision was changed to Approved.

Passports are on the way back. I used Aramex instead of vfs. The process took 16 days for me.
Congrats. All the best.

Hi All,

I have noticed that the spreadsheet for the ADVO does not have a category for Family Class/Spouse.

Would anybody have a link to this?

Hello,

The spreadsheet is for the Express Entry applicants (economic immigrants), only. You might find more useful information for your category here;

Hope it helps.

Hi,

aamir.id,
You've submitted a wrong ITA date, please check your invitation (ITA) letter for the correct date, as there was no round of invitation on that date. I think your ITA date is September 18, 2015. Please, let me know if it is mentioned otherwise, on the letter.

swsood1686,
Any update about your AOR? Have you received it? Please update as the spreadsheet needs to be updated.

Thanks!

Received GCMS notes with no update since 12-Nov-2015

Application submission & AOR: 2-Nov-2015
Category: EE NB PNP outland
Visa office: ADVO
Medical passed: 4-Nov-2015
Schedule 4/4A request and submission: 4-Nov-2015

As there is no update on my application since 4-Nov-2015 on MyCIC status, I had requested for GCMS notes on the 4-Apr-2016 and received the notes yesterday (20-Apr-2016). The notes contain a total of 219 pages, but I was extremely disappointed to find that not even my “Eligibility” is passed yet. As per the GCMS notes, updates on my application is as follows:

Updated date: 12-Nov-2015
Eligibility: Not started
Security: Not started
Criminality: Not started
Medical: Passed

However, there is a glimmer of hope on Case Analyst / Program Assistant/ Agent Review notes “on the label of EE Eligibility” which had been updated on 11-Nov-15 and 6-Nov-15 respectively, said 1. I met FSW criteria and PN program (NOC match with lead statement, etc.) 2. R10 OK (probably means Police certificates and all other documents are provided) and 3. I was not requested a Schedule A because my LOE included required information.

If I am not mistaken my eligibility is not “passed” yet as they didn’t calculate my points on FSW criteria. I met certain criteria but not yet done even on eligibility.
Just to inform you, we are a family of three with my spouse and a child, both are accompanying. I didn’t travel a lot.

What might be the reason they didn’t touch my application since 12-Nov-15 and my eligibility is not started? Any other thoughts?

(Reposting this on this group as my VISA office seems to be ADVO)

Rainforest,

I know how you must feel. Rest assured, this is pretty normal with ADVO. My application didn't move for over 3 months since it was transferred there.
My suggestion is this: Send a CSE to ADVO and an email as well.

Dear Heeru_maan - Thanks for your reply. I was feeling hopeless when I read the GCMS notes; however, yesterday my background check went in progress which brought some hopes again....

Hi Paolo - Congrats.

Seems like your timeline is a bit fuzzy. Is this the timeline for your SINP application or EE application? AOR couldn't be issued on June 4th if you had filed your application on Apr 7th? Same for your medical dates. Can you please let us know your express entry application time line including the date when your background check went in progress?
