You are an inland CEC candidate and they processed your application in 12 months ???
The clock starts ticking from the moment they receive the COMPLETE application & documents. If there were docs missing then the clock wouldn't start til they were submitted. I got an AOR on Dec 14 but since they requested further docs on Dec 23, that is the date I start the 6 months from

I send a complete package of documents on March 28. CIC didn't process my application till December without any reason. I assume it was some kind of system glitch. Because all guys with the similar timeline have same pattern. We were deleted from e-CAS (june-july 2015), then they unlinked our application from our UCI numbers (and gave us new one on December 2015).

Hi everyone,
Please add me to the spreadsheet. My timeline is as below:

ITA received: Oct 2, 2015
Category: FSW Inland
Application submitted: Nov 30, 2015
AOR received: Nov 30, 2015
RPRF: Not paid
Medical: (Dec 1, 2015) Passed
BG Check: (Dec 9, 2015) In Progress
Ghost email: (Dec 13, 2015) No update
BOWP submitted: (Dec 29, 2015) Status - Open, PGWP expiring mid March
Ghost email: (Jan 12, 2016) BG Check - Not needed at this time
Same boat as you (PGWP expiring mid March as well) but how did you apply for the BOWP?
Did you receive the Second AOR knowing that the application is complete?
I have the BG check in progress as well but not sure when should I apply for BOWP (assuming if by March still no final decision's made)

Do you guys think changing BG to not needed at this time reflects on GCMS notes?? I have ordered mine yesterday after my BG got change to not needed at this time. Let see if from GCMS notes we get the reason for that..

Has anyone else requested notes after their BG status got changed??
