Does anyone have an updated timeline from IRCC? October 24th when someone called they were working on August 31st. I am aware of the approx 2 months due to summer influx of applications. I am assuming that it slows down in the winter months and timelines get a little more reasonable.

Our Current Timeline
Original Package received Purolator August 18th Mississauga
Package returned October 5th via Canada Post received October 10
Package completed and resent received October 16th
Anticipated AOR between December 10-31st 2017
OWP on current processing times of 11 weeks would make Mid March for OWP approval.

Hope this helps as this is just based on the information provided via this forum and the CIC website.

Unfortunately the first part of your timeline isn't relevant, if your app is returned and you re-submit, the processing time is the same as if it was the first time you were submitting.

Assuming you are inland (since you mentioned the OWP), inland AOR is presently taking about exactly 8 weeks.

PA is living in Canada with me, but is from Australia. It was my understanding that it was a random chance when applying Outland which VO would be processing the application (ie. Mississauga or Sydney)...I guess I'm wrong.

Hi folks!
Our application was received Sept 1 2017, AOR1 Oct 17th, File transfer to Mexico VO Nov 14th. We haven't received anything since then- no "We started processing your application on.." in ECAS or anything. But today our GCKey says:

Application status We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.
Review of additional documents The additional documents you provided have been uploaded.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

What has changed is the part in bold- Background check: it used to say something like "Your application is in process. We will send you a message when we start processing your background check". So, I am unsure what this change means. Still no AOR2 though, or so I thought, so I am confused.
Thoughts??
Cheers :)

It means your BCIP has now started. Some applications, CPC-M does the background check instead of VO. You are one of those cases. If you're really curious, you can order your GCMS notes around January.

Hmm ok. That seems weird as we've already been transferred to Mexico VO.
Thanks for the response!
