February 2013 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

[OZinON]

Hi Guys,

Just thought i would share, i just received an email from the ecas tracker stating:

"A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision."

Getting very excited now, though knowing it is so close tends to make me more and more impatient LOL

Here's hoping that everyone else receives some good news to start the weekend on a high note

Best of luck fellow applicants!!

Hi,

Has the eCas status added "medicals received" message yet? I am sponsoring my Algerian hubby as well. They just received our medicals recently...if you ever want to chat, just send me a PM...

Good luck!

It looks very quiet here. I haven't checked in a while. I guess many folks are in that long stretch of waiting to know what is happening. That seems to be what bothers most folks, not knowing if your application is being worked on, if they lost your file, if the officer quit and threw all our work in the bin

(I think that's unlikely.) From viewing different boards on this forum and reading some other forums, this long wait with no communication is the process thousands of others have gone through.

So I hope everyone is hanging tight, managing their worries / nerves, and making the best of their days.

I hope the notifications pick up soon.
It'll happen ... soon, I hope, for everyone.

Hey Iay. how are you guys doing? Unfortunately Vienna has not moved for anyone in our Feb thread. NOTHING at all
But you are right. Maybe I should check the January thread and ask those guys.
What about you?

I'm pretty sure some things are moving forward in Vienna as well
For Manila, January applicants have been receiving PPRs, I am actually 5 people away to get PPR in the spreadsheet.

I'm hoping everything will go smooth after


Isn't there a Vienna sheet somewhere?

Glad for you ...Really!

If you see here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjvSDmSjyQZ0dE5DZk9Ua2ViTDRGZXhrM0w3V2xtdVE#gid=0 in the part of the sheet that has the 2013 applicants only two people got their AOR's from Vienna and that's just about it. It seems Vienna closed the store and left for home. I cant explain it. If you check the 2012 applicants just a little up in the same sheet you will see that almost all 2012 members got an at least an AOR and after that their process moved on.

I am hoping to hear soon, like in a few months, a decision. They had asked for emails, pictures, phone records and copy of my passport. I sent them in to them and there should be no problem. My wife and baby in Nairobi should get here soon.

This is a very positive attitude my friend. Keep your hopes up and things will come your way!

Hi everyone!

I'm just new here at the forum and would like to ask what to expect next from my application, my ecas states that they have received my application last feb 21 2013 and it also indicated that they have already received my medical results. So since they have confirmed on receiving my med results what should i be expecting next? Or what should i be doing next that i'm suppose to be doing, like should i be following up my application and stuff like that. I am totally clueless with the whole procedure and would be very grateful if anyone could help me by replying to my questions since i can see that most of the people here are more knowledgeable and more advance with regards to the application process. By the way my visa office is in manila.

Thank you in advance and god bless us all.

Good day everyone!

I hope everyone is keeping busy.

Does anyone have any news regarding our Feb applications?

Aside from waiting i hope everyone is having a safe & lovely summer.

Wishing that we all get through this process quickly.

Cheers

It depends. Do you mean Mississauga received your application on Feb 21? Then the next stage would be an email for the AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt, not everyone gets one), and then either an email or letter for your Sponsorship Approval. After approval your file will be transferred to Manila. You may get an AOR from them (though again, most don't get AORs). Once your application is in Manila you will see status "Application Received" and you will have that status for many months.

Eventually you will get a passport request by email and they may ask for additional documentation. At this time your status may also change to "In-Process". Which happens first varies, but usually it is the passport request. If all the documents they have are all still valid (no expiries during the wait) and if no interview is requested (most cases it isn't) then after a short time (weeks to a couple of months) you will get a new status of "Decision Made". At this point they have decided whether to issue a visa. If they have you will be notified by DHL a few days to a week later that you have a package waiting for pickup. It will contain your passport with visa and your COPR paperwork.

I think that covers most of what to expect barring anything unusual. I can add you to the Manila VO spreadsheet (link is in my signature below). I will need any missing dates (sponsor approval, AOR, date of medical), the type of application (married, common-law, conjugal or child), number of dependents on the app if any and whether they are accompanying or non-accompanying, and your final destination. Take a look at the sheet and you will get a better idea.

Hope this helps...
