[mcadam]

Hi Sachin,

Looks like we share the same VO, and similar timelines...

Congrats on this successful outcome..

Like a friend suggested, can you plz share your Visa Office..

As per CIC website, mine is Pretoria, South Africa..

It seems they operate at different speeds..

Hi Kenny. Glad that your application is seeing some action and moving ahead. Did you find what action happened on 15th Dec that moved BC from Not Started to Not Needed. If possible, can you share your notes with the group, of course after stripping off your personal information. Thanks. Good luck.

On Dec-15 my notes show that R10 OK and that was the day my bg status changed I guess it means your application is complete if it changed to not needed

Good to hear. But, My eligibility still shows in process where my BG is not needed at this time.

Hi people. I want to update my application through CSE and would like to know which email add to use. I don't know if my application is still being processed in Ottawa or at LVO (Abu Dhabi).

I don't know where my application is being processed either (I just hope it *is* being processed somewhere ), I just followed the instructions in the AOR email - they specifically tell you to choose your LVO from the list provided on the CIC (should we start saying IRCC?) website, and send the CSE to them.
I am really hoping they can decide between themselves where to forward your CSE if it's not the correct VO...

Btw, I've sent the CSE (change of address and an addition to travel history) a couple days ago, and they say that they'll answer/acknowledge it in up to 30 days, or may not answer at all if my application is still within the processing time limits. How do I know if they got the CSE and updated my address then? ECAS is down, and I don't think myCIC will show the changes in the submitted forms.

Meanwhile - no movement on my application since meds passed on Nov 23... not even an additional docs request, let alone the BG check start)

Exactly the same case with me, except for the dates. My AOR is 25th November and my medicals pass date is 27th November. God knows, where our applications are at the moment.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad I'm not alone in this boat
Are you expecting to get any additional docs requests? I think I should, since I answered "yes" to one of the statutory questions.

I might be wrong, but my observation is that people who get their medicals processed very fast (whithin a couple days of AOR) are then stuck for a long time waiting for the BG check (though they do get the addictional docs requests), and those who don't have their medicals passed first get the BG check started and then the med check at the very end of the process.
Mine is the first case, only without any additional requests so far.

 

[perfectSkilledMigrant]

yeah same case here .....medicals passed quickly within a few days .... AOR 15th November btw ... last document request was 19th November, I provided it on December 3rd.....and since then nothing ....and BG check never changed...still "not started" or maybe it did but i did not notice....at first i was not keeping an eye tbh :/

I might order GCMS notes in week or so ....

I did not receive any document request till date. Infact I did not answer "yes" to any statutory question.
I am not sure what protocol they follow regarding the processing of various cases. However, at the moment it seems random and unplanned way of processing the applications. One cannot guess precisely what will the result date of our application.

Oh then maybe you won't get any additional documents requests. I think they send them to PNP applicants, those who have answered "yes" to one or more of the statutory questions, and those who have gaps in personal history.
Maybe you'll be one of those who get BG check started and the PPR on the same day then!
I'm feeling uneasy because I know they will request additional documents, and the fact that they still haven't done that means my BG check is not started yet.

We just have to wait and hope for the best. Six months processing time is way better than the previous 1-2yrs. It's getting closer.

Oh, sure! I can't even imagine what it would be like to wait for several years! I'm definitely not complaining about the current processing times, it's just, the longer I wait the more things come to mind that could go wrong. Maybe I should go learn some French or something)))

I would say allow one more month then apply for GCMS notes as the normal processing time is 6 months, so you would be able to see more info on notes. Lot of ppl apply GCMS notes on curiosity and that creates backlog in GCMS notes these days
