***KINGSTON, JAMAICA **New Application**(as of Dec 7, 2016)***

[teflon]

Good morning to you all, when your application changes from application received to in process on your ECAS what exactly does this mean?.

means your file has been transfered to local visa office

Can we have an unlike button
Have you ordered notes or anything seems long from what I've read in this 2017 thread

My application was received January 31. There's a few others who are same day, couple days before couple days after that have all yet to receive their interview. Those who have an interview in sept-oct applied around same time as me or before. I feel like you didn't read my previous post replying to you... this is an average of 9-12 month process from the time they receive your papers to when your spouse gets the green light to come to Canada. I'm presently sitting at 7 months and 9 days. Look at the tables with previous years waiting times ...9-12 months... patience is what we all need at this time. Soon come ....

Anyone have any instructions on how to link the account this is madness been trying to think this for weeks no luck. I actually mailed in the schedule A weeks ago because of this same linking issue. I am so concerned the medicals have been requested but no way of checking it. Any suggestions.

you have to involve the sponsor when ask number of persons on application so you,sponsor and any dependent

That's what I did too. So initially I put 1 for number of persons on application and it wouldn't link but when I put 2 ( my hubby and I) it linked.

I promised myself that I would not focus on the wait and keep checking to see if there is any updates. Presently I am waiting for my SA. I am a government employee that works with a contenscious hot file of a mess. And I can tell you that I work my butt off trying to close off files and troubleshoot that as quickly as possible. The fact is there is just not enough staff resources to keep up and to update clients. Doing so takes me away from working on the file. So it is with this knowledge that I would hope I focus that the end is near and reunification will happen. I submitted as required and did not add additional supporting documentation, thankfully the applicaton has been streamlined and the supporting documents has been capped at amount to submit. Know people that submitted a encyclopedia thick application which resulted in the case processing agent having to review took longer time.

But even though I know how the government works, I am still a woman that misses her husband dearly and want(ed)(s) him here yesterday today and tomorrow -NOW. My home and work life keeps me oh so busy and I am grateful and that time seems to be moving so fast. it feel like it was just last month I saw my hubby but it is now 5 months and next month is my planned visit.....already. Wish I could b there for our anniversary Sept 21.

Honestly I gave up linking. I still found out that my medical was received and that my papers are in the KVO. My friend who is an immigration consultant said linking is not necessary. It's helpful but you'll still get your spouse here either way.

Nine hours ago I received an update from an unknown source-my life my marriage. Is not what I believed. Pulling out my application. Sad but best I am told now and I had seen red flags but he always convinced me otherwise.

Sorry to hear you had trouble linking. The advantage of linking is that CIC/IRCC sends corresponsence to you faster and you have the status of your file at your finger tips. Its also faster to submit documents to CIC and keep abreast with the sponsorship at all stages. If the time frame has passed to link account, they may send you another response to link account. If I were you I'd take advantage, remember we're here to help.

I don't know how much faster linking is because I'm pretty much on track as far as all my paperwork goes. My immigration consultant friend currently has 120 clients so I'm going to take his word that it's not a big deal. Plus we sent the medical and police check with the application so that will probably buy us time that we are "losing" with not linking. Thank you though.
