Hi,
I see everyone saying that FSW-O US applications are getting a priority. I don’t see such thing. I am a US resident applicant. AOR- March 30th, Med Passed- April 10, IP1- April 11th & no further update since then.
I know what you mean. It can vary case by case. But upon checking immitracker, FSW-O applicants whose file is getting some movement consistently are in the US. But on the other hand, there are many applicants in the US like yours too. Anyway, good luck with the remainder of the processing. It's fair to assume 3-4 months is a norm now for FSW-O.
 
Oh that is nice to know you moved to IP2. I am still in the IP1.
It is normal for CEC applicants. However, just cos they move directly to IP2 doesn't mean their pre IP2 stages are cleared. For CEC, it is done after going by the current trend.
 
Following is my complete process:

ITA march 26
AOR march 28
Med april 6
IP1 april 7
PPR April 19
Passports were submitted to local VFS and forwarded to HK Canada Office on 20th April
Counterfoil issuance notification on CIC -

Passport and CoPR received on 30th April
 
Hi guys. I have applied thru a consultancy. They do not want to give me access to the site to check my application status. Rather they have been providing me the status update whenever I check with them. I thought of giving it a try Myself. I went to this link https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do and I put the UCI number, my date of birth and place of birth. But it not pulling up my records. Am I doing something incorrect ??

hi there! from what i understand this service is only available for paper applicants
 
Is there anyone here whose application is stuck in Sydney, NS Central Intake Office? My BG status is IP2 and has been so since April 11.
I'm wondering if Sydney CIO will finalize my application or if it will get transferred to Ottawa and it will wait for more time there before there is any progress.

Anyone with a similar status? If you have any more information, please do share.
 
Wow. Thats unsual. I was under the assumption that all the FSW-O applications move from IP1 to IP2. But good that it was so quick for you. Congrats.
I know thats unusual but there is no update since Feb 27 after IP2. It's been almost more than 2 months. I am not sure when I will get my PPR. I am CEC applicant.

That link is only for paper based applications.

If you have your application number that starts with E, you can call IRCC and follow the automated menu, enter your details and it will read out your status exactly as it is online. Call from Skype or Hangouts, it’s free.
 
download google hangout and dial from that you will be able to reach them.
I tried from google hangout today . got through in five minutes but the agent said that some other department handles the immigration and since I am calling from outside USA they cannot provide me a phone number and that the only way I can contact them is via email or through website.
Not sure did I go through the wrong phone menu??

Hi I am in the same boat, AOR March 10th,
IP1 March 17th,
addition documents requested March 20th,
documents uploaded March 27th,
Medical passed and IP2 April 20th.
Since then there is no change. My file is with Sydney NS, CIO. I called on March 24th, it was there, even on April 26th, the file was still at Sydney CIO and the agent told me that they have already initiated my background check there but eventually my file will be transferred to Ottawa office for final processing.
