Hi there
I’ve been looking at this forum since my husband and I submitted our application for permanent residency. I must say it has helped keep me sane while waiting, especially for AOR 1. I wanted to share my timeline with you all so it may help Those still waiting some hope that the processing centres are actually getting stuff done.
I am sponsoring my husband from the US.
- Initial Application submitted May 26th.(Returned to us because in August because the checklist was the old version.)
- Application resubmitted with updated checklist to Sydney as instructed on Aug 16th
- Medical Rquest October 22nd.
- Additional documents required- October 31st.
- Medical Completed November 5th
- Medical Passed November 9th
- Application transferred to Mississauga November 20th
- Passport Request- December 12th.
We never revived the APR or Sponsor approval communications. We only figured out everything was good when we received the medical request letter which had the UCI number.
All communication apart from the request for additional documents have been by mail and delayed significantly due to the current Canada Post strike.
I hope this helps give hope to those waiting.
