Yeah.. it's ok now I think. My husband who's in Canada called the IRCC..after how many days have passed trying to reach them, finally, the call went through. SO he have spoke with and agent and relayed all the concerns that we're facing, the reason why we havent received any request because we linked our account May 14 and they have sent the request to send Schedule A background on May 13, it seems like it's kinda weird coz how can they send the request if we havent link our account yet??, anyway so the agent instructed my husband to have the form uploaded on IRCC webform and so that's what I did.I just hope everything will be okay.
really??? Only because of we didn't link our account?? :( I tried to link my account multiple times but nothing happened . Then we mailed them for technical issue. After few days later they email me that now i should link my account. After that everything happen.. Hopefully now everything will go smooth. Hope for the best!

Another DM! We got ours yesterday. Yay!

What happened to the board? A girl goes away for a while and everything changes. o_O
 
Hello everyone,

My husband's (principal applicant) ECAS status became "decision made" on 3rd of June, but we haven't received any emails as what the decision is or what's next. Nothing has changed on our GCKey account either. Could someone give us some clarification?
 
Yes, my ECAS showed DM last May 26. I'm still waiting for my PPR request.
After you saw DM on ECAS did you received any emails from them like decision has been made or process is completed? Or they don't send anything like that to Outland and next thing I should expect from them with be an email with PPR? I saw DM on ECAS on May 30. Maybe it was there before, I just did not know about ECAS before May 30. From that day no news yet. Hopefully will get something this week.

Same here. Saw DM on May 30. Still nothing.
 
Guys, I have couple questions. Please help.
1. I saw DM on ECAS on May 30. Maybe it was there before, unfortunately I did not know about ECAS before May 30( thanks to the kind person on this forum who told me about it and gave the link). From that day no news yet.
My question is "After status on ECAS updates to DM for both sponsor and applicant what is the next step? Should I expect any emails from them like decision has been made or process is completed? Or they don't send anything like that and next thing I should expect from them with be an email with PPR? And how long it's usually take?

2. I am from Russia, live in Canada on my post graduate work permit which is vald I till 2019. My Canadian visa is already expired. So l can stay inside country no problem but can not travel I guess. When I will attend my landing interview I am planning to to to Niagara Falls border cross it and come back. Somebody told me that it's called flag pole. I have a valid American visa still to go on their side. Please tell me will I be able to leave Canada without valid Canadian visa and will I be able to come back without a valid visa but with all documents from CIC. Like my application number, all CIC emails, landing interview paper and my work permit? Or i need a visa still?
And when you doing a flag pole do they choose a date for you to land or I can do it any day?

P.S. I am Outland, Ottawa Visa Office.

Thank you!

May 5th: My ECAS (I'm the sponsor) page was updated to Decision made
May 10th: My spouse (the PA) received the Ready for Visa email (PPR)
May 24: CIC received our PPR documents
May 31: PA's GCKey was updated to "your application was approved"

My understanding from my timeline is that they don't update the GCkey until after your PPR documents are processed and sent to you.

I think you will probably receive the ready for visa email (PPR) this weekend, depending on how fast your visa office is.
 
Anyone from January and February got medical request?? Any updates?
Feb applicant...no medical request yet..NDVO...Got AOR2 since April..no update after that
 
Hello everyone! I come with good news..
Called two weeks ago asking what the hold up was in Mississauga, The woman on the phone basically said, "no idea. I should sent a note to nudge them into sending it off."
Never got any kind of response
Called today and asked if there was a response to the note and he said that there was, 2 days after the woman sent it, saying that, "yes, this application is in the process of being transferred to Ottawa."
The man on the phone told me that there is a huge backlog right now in the Mississauga 'back office' where they apparently transfer applications. So this is where the hold up was.
I did confirm with him though that my application is in the process of being sent to Ottawa. Which we had no idea before today that it would be sent to Ottawa. So I feel like I can now chance my VO to Ottawa <3
hopefully all of you who are in the same situation are in it for the same reasons.
It's now been about a week and a half since they responded to the note. so hopefully we get some form of AOR2 sooner than later.

Half tempted to email Ottawa Vo to see if they've received it. more scared to contact them though over the people at CIC on the phone.
