How long does it take to pass A11.2?

I appreciate your input!
You seems have already passed A11.2

Congratulations.
It seems there is a delay in all of the in-lands medical pass. They have just started to process the early December applicants.

It would be the biggest relief for me if what you said is true.
I am not expert in that but if you read the post on the 1 page of the thread, R10 and A11.2 was done at CIO and BGC will be in VO. you see your BGC from NN to IP, so your case should have been transferred to VO.
BTW, are you inland application?

Weird, spoke with an agent, she said that my file is in Ottawa and it will stay there unless i need an interview, but she also said that they only begin processing applications after 18 weeks has passed(Review of eligibility) so after 18 weeks they start working on files for FSW Outland. i'm confused as i see ton of people get medicals passed and get PPR within 2 month.
Am i missing something here ?
Anyone can comment on this ?

Weird. Does it mean 18 weeks after AOR or 18 weeks after your file to Ottawa?

My BGC went from NN to IP but my file is still in Ottawa, not my LVO :(.

I called CIC last week and got my GCMS today, both are saying that my file is not transfered yet even if my BGC is IP now.

This is clearly not true as we've seen PPR in less than 60 days.

Having said that she might be referring to the admissibility checks (second round after the A11.2), so if you're file is not sent to LVO (they do this for load distribution purposes and not just if you need an interview) and ends up staying there it's possible they just leave it for 18 weeks before starting the second round of check... again this is me speculating a possible reason for why she told you what she did.

This isn't necessarily bad, they may process you file quicker at Ottawa than in you LVO. My LVO is notoriously slow, so I'm hoping it stays in Ottawa until the last possible stage.

Remember, they'll send it to LVO for load distribution purposes, it does not have to go to LVO unless they end up requiring and interview or you're not from a visa exempt country and have to hand your passports over for stamping.

What I'm wondering about is your R10 and A11.2... how do you know they're ok today if your GCMS notes are a month old? Are you inferring they're ok because your BC went to IP?

Hi,

About my R10 and A11.2 : My GCMS are not a month old, i ordered them 01.11.17 but the last update in my GCMS notes is : 01.18.17.

My GCMS was generated around 10 days ago (01.20.17) but I got them few hours ago

Sort of... the usual changes are NN -> NS -> NN -> IP... by this stage the A11.2 are usually done. By skipping the NS phase the unknown is even less known...

The only way to know for sure is by ordering GCMS notes... since you've reached IP status it's probably as good time as any to get them (if you're planning to do that).

Since it's been nearly 2 months the likelihood that they've finished a11.2 is high I suppose.

Ah cool... Inwas told that you get them about 30 days after the request so inassumed they're older. If you don't mind me asking, who did you get them from? I'll be ordering mine in about two weeks :D

Right... Since you're Outland I'd assumed that you used a service like Visainfo.info.

Thanks anyway!
