Mine from June 21.

Has anyone whose file has been sent to the Ottawa visa office tried calling or emailing them for a status update? The immigration web site states that the Ottawa visa office will not provide routine status updates, but I am curious if anyone has had any success in contacting them.

Is the address I need to send my Schedule A and pcc to the same as the address I sent the original application to?

Just a note about a few things with my application. We submitted on March 31st and had SA fairly quickly. We never had any request for PCC and schedule A, so I submitted them over email and mailed in hard copies. Since that time, we have been contacted twice to clarify a few gaps in the schedule A and provide an address for secondary school. Those requests came 2 weeks ago, and I was able to upload schedule A through the system. I have not heard anything since. Nothing to say the file is being transferred or anything to say the background check has started.

Also to add that we have now relocated to Canada, so that I could start work (I am a citizen and the sponsor). We had 1 way tickets and stated on our customs documents that husband and child would be staying for 6 months. We had to go through several people to explain the situation at the border, and speak with the supervisor. I had my employment letter and proof of medical insurance for 6months. The border agents were very friendly, and basically said Husband and child were fine to enter as long as he did not work, and as long as we were aware that they must leave the country when 6 months had lapsed if a visa was not confirmed.

So now we just keep on waiting. I think our file will be difficult as my son is a NZ/US citizen and my husband is English. We were PR in New Zealand prior to moving to Canada, so I have no idea which office our application will be outsourced to.

2-3 months

Thanks you. I guess the status may change to decision made in a month or one and half month. Is it right?

A lot of people from the March group haven't added their details on the spreadsheet.

I emailed them several times. I always get a response within 2-3 hours

silimar case here.
28th March
NO Sch A PCC request

which email ID you sent the documents? how did you get that email id?

 

[HBPATEL]

No, you need to mail the original.

hi,
i think copies should be fine. Reason is, if they can work with scan copy, copies should also be fine.
Feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

 

[gamzenoakes]

My background check has been in progress since May 26, 2017, with no updates or requests since then.

Hi there,
How do you know "your background check is in progress" ? Does it say in your Gckey account?
Or your ECAS is in process?
Or is there any other way to check that?

 

[gamzenoakes]

No, you need to mail the original.

the scanned or the copy are fine. I uploaded the scanned police check onto Gckey, and it was accepted.

I received AOR2 from NDVO on June 19th. The background check status says "Not Applicable". Is that normal ? At what point would it to change to background check in progress ?
