APRIL 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[neetwo80]

320 Euros for the medical exam! Why??? I'm a lit upset about that. It's like 500 dollars Canadian. My whole application is going to cost over 1300 euros. It will be worth it but still.

I think it varies from country to country, also from doctor to doctor. I paid 215 euros plus 30.90 euros for labs in Germany. I'm trying to not think about how much all of this costs. It just frustrates me lol But thinking of the (hopefully) happy end makes it a bit easier

Thank you! You're right. I just shouldn't think about it. It will be worth it but mamma mia! I just realised that me the sponsor should also take the 8 photos as well. I can't wait till I send the application.

How come we need to write a Visa office in our home country in the spreadsheet? Will Canada be in contact with a visa office there?
And how do you find out what your visa office is? D:

Once you have SA (sponsor approval), your file will be forwarded to a visa office abroad, assuming you applied outland.

Based on the flag in your profile, I'm going to assume you are Danish. Your VO would be London.

Hey Guys, I found this in another forum and thought i would post it here as well!

"Good Day Folks,

I am starting this thread just to bring more light between the OLD IN PROCESS and the NEW IN PROCESS on Ecas.


APPLICATION RECEIVED:

This status on Ecas used to appear when the VO was checking the application fees were paid, All sponsorship forms were dated and signed, all the supporting documents were present ( If not, they could request any missing document) at this stage they used to check the qualitative of your file. Usually the Officer who received people's files when they came fresh from CPC Ontario will do everything we just mentioned above and put a 3 months BFD on your file to be reviewed by another officer and placed it in a queue, Then send AOR2. some VO did not even send AOR2. After 3 months an officer will open your file again and begin to do some work, your ecas still showing APPLICTION RECEIVED. The first thing that officer will do is to work on Eligibility between the SPONSOR and PA. The officer will pay close attention on age differences, religious background if the relationship is ongoing, no red flag, or fake documentation, the officer will check if the quantitative and qualitative of docs you sent. If you happened to order your GCMS at this point you will see ELIGIBILITY: IN PROGRESS, and Ecas would displayed

We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000

Even if medicals were done at this point, lots of people's applications back then did not displayed Medical Received at this stage on Ecas. when the officer approved your Eligibility at this point, your Ecas would show IN PROCESS and if your were to order your GCMS Notes would then show ELIGIBILITY: PASS. It is a sign that there would not be an interview. the case was not over yet.

IN PROCESS: We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
We started processing JON DOE'S Permanent Residence Application on 01.03.2000

At this point the officer will request SECURITY checks and CRIMINALITY checks to other government offices who are responsible to do so. at this point no matter how long your file would take it was not the VO's fault neither yours but CSIS. Just to add flesh to the bone, let's say you requested your GCMS 4 months after your application went IN PROCESS, you might see at any page pertaining to SECURITY/CRIMINALITY would have S.15 (1) or S.19 (1) on the right top corner. Sometimes CRIMINALITY Checks may come back quickly and the officer would updated your file and keep waiting for Security.Then your GCMS will show.

Eligibility: Pass
Criminality: Pass
Medicals : Pass

Sometimes they may hid Security Checks even if it is finished according to Subscription 15 (1) for international affaires and defense. If the RPRF is not paid and the officer did not want to extend your Medicals if they were expired, he/she will issue a request for those document, even PPR. Some people reported seeing on GCMS Notes

Eligibility: Pass
Criminality: Pass
Security : Pass
Medical : In progress or Pass

DECISION MADE:We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
We started processing JON DOE'S Permanent Residence Application on 01.03.2000
Medical Results have been received
Decision has been made on your application and the office will contact you in writing about this decision

At this point when Ecas displayed Medical results have been received which was the 3rd line, any applicants used to know that their application were almost done.

Back then Decision made without re- medical, Medical request or PPR was a sign of rejection and a good number of people used to know that their applications were rejected until they received their decision made letters to be double sure. Things have changed so much and will keep changing.

The NEW IN PROCESS has replaced the old status called APPLICATION RECEIEVED if it says:

IN PROCESS: We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
Medical Results have been received

This way you are not off of the interview's hook yet, they just update your Ecas with those 2 lines they will only show the date they started processing your file when Eligibility passes and background checks have then begun. You will mostly likely see the third line after months and months when your file has matured for PPR and ready for a decision. Hopefully this helped

Warm Regards and good luck"

Mine is about $550 here in australia. All of it seems expensive but trust me, trying to apply for PR to australia is 4 times more expensive than the canadian way!

Write the VO in after you find out. Just fill in the details as you go and find out new information

Oh, I see! Thank you for answer. Do you have any clue how come it will be sent to London and not processed in Canada? :S.

Are you applying outland? Where is your current country of residence?
If youre applying outland and your residence is in canada it may get processed in canada. If you're in your country of citizenship itll be sent to your nearest VO.

For example, im.british but live in australia. Likely my application will be sent to sydney.

Hello everyone?

should we mention which visa office the application is for? It won't mention in the application about which visa office we are apply for. I am thinking to put a sticky note to mark where the visa office this application will go. Or they will know it based on the different visa office's checklist? Please help!

Old forms used to let you nominate. Now you can't. They'll either send it to the vo which services your county of residence or your country of citizenship.
