Hi, Harshad

Let me know your timeline. In the meanwhile use that webform link that I sent you, and just politely ask for their follow up. What's gonna happen is that you will not receive any reply from them, but they will at least try to pay attention to your file. And if everything is good to go then they will update the status on ecas. I used this method last week on Nov 14. I didn't receive any reply, but they updated the status.

It also depends on your file, too. I mean, they evaluate your file based on easiness to prove your relationship. Mine was pretty straightforward, as I asked my wife to add my name in her passport after getting married. She got new passport with updated last and middle name. I applied under that new passport from her. So, it was easy for them to just go forward with other background checks.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Best luck!!

Regards,

My application was received July 11th and I just got the email today (November 16 - just over 4 months) confirming that my application has been accepted. I'm currently in Canada (I came under dual intent) and going home for a trip at the end of this month so my documents should be available in time for me to land on my return. What a relief!
Congratulations!

Hey guys, am July 3rd applicant and so far had medical passed and sponsor approval. Its been 2 months and no file transfer email yet. Is there anyone else of similar timeline? Any suggestion what should i do? I called cic twice but no updated they said you wait.
Most Important!!
We both have birthdays coming in January. A very strong point to get her visitor visa based on history as many ppl got for tha same reason in the past. Do you guys thing i should use this chance and apply her visitor visa. I stopped thinking abt it because July ppl too started getting DM bt as there are no updated so far i am started losing hope.
Please suggest!

Hi guys,

I am a July applicant. I got a mail requesting for additional pcc from the last country I lived and I have one that I got when I was leaving the country which is clean and i read on cic website that I can use pcc gotten after leaving a parcular country provided I haven't gone back there after. I tried requesting for a new pcc through a lawyer and he said the record is not clean anymore as their was a pending case that was concluded 4months after I left.

Please can anyone help, if I submit the clean one would they know?

Yes, still waiting for AOR. I should get it in the next few days since I was able to link my application yesterday.
And yes, is really weird how files are processed, that's why the average waiting time is 12 months, some people get everything approved in 6 months, others in more than a year.
