Yes online
Do you think will find different info or it was early to order new one now?
The reason i ordered it now , there is no current update on the eligibility criminality and security to my wife . Last updated july 15 , but the date at the bottom says nov 23
I am confused , !!
I have no idea but if you waited for 2 months again you will have seen a little bite more.

Hi Eagle
Someone said on this forum
I contacted my new MP and he recently informed me that opened my husbands ARC file (apparently they have to open an ARC file) the end of July. My husband passed the background check, they interviewed him in March and already determined that the relationship is genuine and in July of this year his medicals expired but apparently Vienna requested a year extension so we have been told that his medicals are okay until July 2016. The ARC application has to be processed by the Immigration Program Manager (IMP) and my MP told me that in January the IMP has to review the application (6 months after opening the ARC file) and has 30 business days to make a decision.
I have contacted the visa office many times and all they tell me is that my husband application is in queue and we will be notified if they require any further information. I was only able to get more specific information through my MP.
I have done a lot of research and the processing of ARC applications and timelines depends on the Visa Office, Mexico seems to process them faster (within a month or two) but Vienna is taking more than six months.
My ARC request was in July 13 and my six month is going to be in Dec 13 2015,What you think i will be in Canada befor X-mas????

Hello Eagle333, which category do you think my application fall into new or old in process(this happened in September 15 2015)


We received your application for permanent residence on November 19, 2013.
We started processing your application on March 21, 2014.
Medical results have been received.

The 3rd line added was "we started processing your application on March 21 2014"(over a year and half ago)
Do you see any interview in sight from the above.
Thanks in advance.

Hi crucial,

it falls into the old and it is a non-routine case.

Hi Jimmy64,

Here is the difference between you and a MP:

MP: once send an inquiry to visa office CIC respond at least 2-4 days
Visa Office will give a MP general information only
Cannot speed up or threaten visa office for someone's file


Client: When you request an update for your file Visa Office CIC will respond in 28 days or may not eve respond
Visa Office will give you the same information as a MP
You cannot speed up your file's process


Recommendation: All you can do I wait. They know you are there, it might take long but patience always pay. You can order GCMS 3 months after you requested the previous set.

Good Day Folks,

I am starting this thread just to bring more light between the OLD IN PROCESS and the NEW IN PROCESS on Ecas.


APPLICATION RECEIVED:

This status on Ecas used to appear when the VO was checking the application fees were paid, All sponsorship forms were dated and signed, all the supporting documents were present ( If not, they could request any missing document) at this stage they used to check the qualitative of your file. Usually the Officer who received people's files when they came fresh from CPC Ontario will do everything we just mentioned above and put a 3 months BFD on your file to be reviewed by another officer and placed it in a queue, Then send AOR2. some VO did not even send AOR2. After 3 months an officer will open your file again and begin to do some work, your ecas still showing APPLICTION RECEIVED. The first thing that officer will do is to work on Eligibility between the SPONSOR and PA. The officer will pay close attention on age differences, religious background if the relationship is ongoing, no red flag, or fake documentation, the officer will check if the quantitative and qualitative of docs you sent. If you happened to order your GCMS at this point you will see ELIGIBILITY: IN PROGRESS, and Ecas would displayed

We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000

Even if medicals were done at this point, lots of people's applications back then did not displayed Medical Received at this stage on Ecas. when the officer approved your Eligibility at this point, your Ecas would show IN PROCESS and if your were to order your GCMS Notes would then show ELIGIBILITY: PASS. It is a sign that there would not be an interview. the case was not over yet.

IN PROCESS: We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
We started processing JON DOE'S Permanent Residence Application on 01.03.2000

At this point the officer will request SECURITY checks and CRIMINALITY checks to other government offices who are responsible to do so. at this point no matter how long your file would take it was not the VO's fault neither yours but CSIS. Just to add flesh to the bone, let's say you requested your GCMS 4 months after your application went IN PROCESS, you might see at any page pertaining to SECURITY/CRIMINALITY would have S.15 (1) or S.19 (1) on the right top corner. Sometimes CRIMINALITY Checks may come back quickly and the officer would updated your file and keep waiting for Security.Then your GCMS will show.

Eligibility: Pass
Criminality: Pass
Medicals : Pass

Sometimes they may hid Security Checks even if it is finished according to Subscription 15 (1) for international affaires and defense. If the RPRF is not paid and the officer did not want to extend your Medicals if they were expired, he/she will issue a request for those document, even PPR. Some people reported seeing on GCMS Notes

Eligibility: Pass
Criminality: Pass
Security : Pass
Medical : In progress or Pass

DECISION MADE:We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
We started processing JON DOE'S Permanent Residence Application on 01.03.2000
Medical Results have been received
Decision has been made on your application and the office will contact you in writing about this decision

At this point when Ecas displayed Medical results have been received which was the 3rd line, any applicants used to know that their application were almost done.

Back then Decision made without re- medical, Medical request or PPR was a sign of rejection and a good number of people used to know that their applications were rejected until they received their decision made letters to be double sure. Things have changed so much and will keep changing.

The NEW IN PROCESS has replaced the old status called APPLICATION RECEIEVED if it says:

IN PROCESS: We have received JON DOE's Permanent Residence Application on 01.01.2000
Medical Results have been received

This way you are not off of the interview's hook yet, they just update your Ecas with those 2 lines they will only show the date they started processing your file when Eligibility passes and background checks have then begun. You will mostly likely see the third line after months and months when your file has matured for PPR and ready for a decision. Hopefully this helped

Warm Regards and good luck
Dear Eagle
