AT CIO level before getting EP AOR. ;)

I think this scenario can represent their workflow for current 45 days processing time frame at CIO level for Outland applications:
1- They do their completion check within first 30 days and if any signature is missed or something is wrong with application, they will return it to applicant from 30 to 35 days.
2- If one application is OK and passed previous level then they will do their validity checks for provided documents for example for nomination letter, payment receipt,... from 35 to 40 days
3- They finalize applications passed two previous levels and they insert it in their online system and get UCI & file numbers from 40 to 45 days.
4- They send AOR to applicant from 45 to 48 days!

And I think After CIO level these could happen next at Local Visa Office level:

1- CIO transfer applications to their assigned local visa offices within next 3 weeks after EP AOR date.(Transfer)
2- Visa Office will start processing received applications within next 1 to 2 months after application delivered to visa office (In Process)
3- They send Medical request and RPRF within next month after they started processing application (Medical and RPRF request)
4- They receive Medical Results within next month after medical request date If applicant go to do medical without any delay. (Medical Result Received by Visa Office)
5- They will finalize application and send passport request within next month after medical result and RPRF received (Passport Request)
6- They issue visa and stamp passport and send back passport in next two weeks after they receive passport! (Visa Issue)

The whole processing time will be 45 days at CIO level and 3 months(MINIMUM) to 6 months (MAXIMUM) at Local Visa Office level (because any of rows 2,3 & 5 can be done in few days!)

GOOD LUCK everybody!

HOW ECAS system look like and how it works?

Its a question that many of applicants who didn't have access to ECAS system yet want to know the answer! ;)


After login to ECAS system, in the first page its look like this:(Click on the image to get a bigger image)



And when click on Underline Status, it will open the second page and it is like this:(Click on the image to get a bigger image)



In this page every status update will be added there. For this example there is only one row: "1. We received your application...." and there will be next rows for next application status update like "2. We start processing application..." , "3. Medical result received..." , "4. Decision made" , ....

And This diagram explains each step in the application process (for Outside Canada):(Click on the image to get a bigger image)
