Hi everyone, just want to share the good news we received. Our application is finally approved! I hope everyone’s application gets approved very soon too!

Here’s a detailed timeline of our journey (we went through a lot but I know they are all worth it):

Application received: August 24, 2018
Received AOR1: November 16, 2018 (Sponsor’s Email)
Received medical request: November 22, 2018 (Applicant’s Email)
Received Sponsorship Approval: November 26, 2018 (same day our file got transferred to Mississauga)
Undergone medical: December 3, 2018
Took sputum test for 3 consecutive days: Dec 11-13, 2018 (Asked to wait for sputum culture result and go back for 2nd Xray on March 11)
Received Request for Additional Document (New Passport for Applicant): December 12, 2018
Sent requested document: January 12, 2019
2nd Xray: March 11, 2019 (Was told to receive email confirmation)
Medical passed - status updated in GCkey: March 21, 2019
Background check started - status updated in GCKey: April 27, 2019
Received Passport Request: April 29, 2019 (Applicant’s Email)
Final Decision has been made - Your application is approved: May 15, 2019
Status of background check also changed to completed and it’s so nice to see the words “We are done processing your application”

Now we’re just waiting for my husband’s passport to be returned along with the COPR. He was notified by visa office that the docs he sent have been received.

Because London has an insane amount of applications to process (many countries are routed through London) and possibly also potential fraudulent applications from Pakistan that takes up time for extra thorough investigation.
