Hi,
I called up CIC service desk, and asked about my application. They responded by saying that we dont have any clue on those applications, but forwarded me an email with the CIO's email enquiries details. The information I have posted is from the automated response that came from the CIO as a response to my query.

Hello :)!

I have the same problem. I called them but they dont have access to any files. Could you please let me know which email address did you use to contact them?

Thanks

Yup don't bother calling with regards to your CEC application. This is because all CEC applications are considered to be "Outland/Made outside Canada" (makes no sense I know). The CIC call center only has access to applications made "in Canada" and sometime last year, they decided to enforce this technicality although most of us are in Canada and our applications have never left Canada, and are being processed in Ottawa.

If you've gotten your AOR, email the immigrations section of CPP Ottawa. Here are the instructions :
By email

Use this ottpilot-immigration@cic.gc.ca e-mail to ask CPP-O about a Permanent Resident case.
After you have sent your e-mail, you will receive an automatic message acknowledging that we have received your question. This message will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered. If you do not receive this message within 24 hours, then it may be in your junk mail box or you may have entered your email address incorrectly.
Make sure that you include your name, file number, date of birth and Unique Client Identifier (UCI) to help us identify your application.
Do not send repeat enquiries, this includes sending the same enquiry by multiple means, as it creates confusion and can delay our reply.

My status is showing as "Application Received", can someone suggest what happens next? Will my file be transferred to a visa office? or will it go to In Process status now (of-course if it is considered eligible :)) ?

It will go to Ottawa for processing, in fact that has already happened. Next typical step is medicals in a few months.

Hi Guys,

My application is showing as "Application Received", do any one of us here (who applied in Oct 2012) see "In Progress" status yet?

Thanks

Too soon for that. May/June 2012 applicants are just changing status to In Progress and not even all of them.

Just noting mostly to move the thread back towards the top :) If you haven't seen other threads, alot of July applicants receiving MR. A couple August but until we see more of those figure those to be special case scenarios. Here's hoping we hear something by June, after that looking at last year's trend not alot comes out over July/August. It would be nice to have the MR piece completed so that maybe by Oct 2013 we may see our Passport Request's, and if very optomistic by Xmas have the process completed. :) :) :)

Hello All, I have been following this forum for a few months now and finally I decided to register and add myself. I am also an October Applicant. Application received date is Oct 22nd 2012 and AOR December 10th 2012. ECAS status still shows Application Received.

Looking at the trend of how medical requests have been coming recently, I believe all October applicants should mark June 2013 as the month to expect MR email. If that happens, I think we should have PPR in August and landing procedure done by late September.

Good luck all!

REALLY hope so :)

Also don't forget Sep 2012 applicants, they have not received any updates yet.
Interestingly though it seems like some of the 2013 applicants have their applications moved into "In Process" on ECAS.

I've run some trending on data provided...based on July and August submissions, it currently takes about 235 days on average to receive a MR.

If you look at the trend, they have finished remaining June, all July and some August MR's in just 2 weeks starting April 1st quota renewal. As well, most of June applicants got PPR and even got COPR already. If the trend continues, October applicants can expect start getting MR's middle May. Let's hope the quota will not be slashed and no new procedures implemented in the next 3 months :)
