Hi ALL!!

I'm a Feb 02 2015 applicant. I got my AOR on 28th of March. It's been 2 weeks but no SA yet. I was active in Jan 2015 outlander thread and i saw most of the Jan 2015 applicants have already received both AOR and SA. I think early Feb 2015 applicants are a bit out of luck...

BTW, my case is kind of special. I worked in China for three years and there I met and married my wife. I did not file option c printout along with my applications because I did not file tax for the years I stayed in China, but did attach employment letter, work permit copies, residential permits. Maybe this is what slowing down my SA.

Is there any early Feb 2015 applicants out there?

Hi, we have the same case. We only submitted option c for 2011, since my husband worked overseas from 2012 onwards. Kinda worried if they will request a more recent one. We submitted Feb 23 though so no AOR yet.

Mine was received Feb 5 and I'm still waiting for SA too. And I'd say my app was pretty straightforward.

Seems like CIC was very fast on Jan 2015 applicants and decided to relax a bit before doing Feb...

By the numbers, January receives a below average number of applications, I would guess because of the delay in getting paperwork over the Christmas holiday season. This lack is made up in February, which has above averageapplications.

Similarly, January applications received AOR and SA before people would take vacations near the long Easter weekend.

Approximately how long does SA take if the application package is complete with no issues?

With no issues it is typically 4 to 8 days from the AOR.

true!

I think the long weekend - 4 days break - has set us back! we should've received SA going by the January trend.

Don't worry, I'm positive that we will receive our SA before the end of next week!
