I hope yours gets updated soon! Please keep me posted.

My VO is Dar Es Salaam which is one of the newest VOs but also seems to be very very slow unfortunately. I think I am in for a long wait now before I hear anything else. There is hardly anyone on this forum going through my VO so very hard to get a gauge for expected timeline.

If anyone else is going through Dar please let me know. I'd love to connect and share our progress.
Thanks..
Hoping and praying I get some updates next week. I'll let you know if I hear anything,and thanks again for keeping me updated. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

I think my VO is in between in regards the processing. I've actually read some thread about it and the processing takes approximately 8-10 months,which is better I guess than 17.
All I can do is wait I guess, and pray for a faster processing.

Yayyy!! Received SA today! What a relief! ;D

Question - We're obviously applying Outland, we live in Germany, my partner is German.. so why has his case been forwarded to Ottawa and not Vienna!? Anyone heard of this before? Seems odd... unless Vienna is just overwhelmed with refugee applicants right now?

Letter says:

You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative has been forwarded to the visa office in CPC-Ottawa for further processing. This visa office was selected based on your relative’s country of nationality and the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
First of all congratulations for SA!
May I ask you if CIC gave you a reason based on your spouse's country of nationality or yours?

Thanks.

Thank you! :D

It was based on my spouse's (German). I've heard on another thread that some Vienna applicants have been being transferred to Ottawa in the last few months, though so sounds like it's (hopefully) not a mistake.

That's what I've heard, too. Ottawa is one of the fastest.
My spouse's VO is Vienna but he needs a visa. I was thinking maybe the decision is connected with applicants coming from visa exempt countries.

I wish you best of luck. :)

That could be, that also crossed our minds! As far as I know, Germany is a visa exempt country.

Thanks and same to you! :)

Hello Jan applicants, our ecas updated this morning to show 'In Process' on the principal applicant's side.

Does this mean they've received our app? We didn't get AOR2, so I assume this is the equivalent?
