Interesting observation in looking at the spreadsheet is that there have been no new interview invites since May. I truly wonder if they pause things during the summer to concentrate moreso on other immigration cases (ie: work permits, farmers programs, etc) , and if things will start rolling again for PR apps after Labour Day weekend....

Sorry did I read right, you sent your application in January and you have yet to hear that it was sent to KVO?
no AOR2?

They did get an ECAS updated that their application is "in process"- that's pretty much how I learned that ours was with KVO too...so maybe the same case? I don't think they always send an AOR2. Only way my husband and I knew for certain, was I had to email an inquiry and KVO replied confirming they received it, and gave the same date that appears next to the ECAS "in process"...

Same with me. I only had ECAS notification that our app is in process since a certain date. No letter to confirm receiving the application. My hysband sent email inquiries abt some questions we had about gckey and our application.They confirm they have the application and it is in a queue for review. They respond faster in email then I thought they would.

The email is kingston.immigration@international.gc.ca

Exactly, im here saying the same thing too. The only thing I see is because a mistake was made on the Schedule A form may be the reason there was a delay.

My understanding is that an application won't be changed to "in process" in ECAS unless Kingston has received it.

Welcome! :) I've added you to the spreadsheet. It should be accessible to everyone, so please feel free to update it as you go along.
Where can I find the link to spreadsheet? What is the average length of time for SA.

AOR2 is when KVO starts processing in, so those from May have yet to receive interview dates?:eek:

I feel like KVO will be flooding us with interview dates in September :D
I have been thinking the samething

Hi Jamway, you can find the link in my signature line. :) Average day between the application being received and SA is 27 days... with the max being 50 days and the min being 17 days.
