I just found out today that my VO is Calgary.

AOR Nov 3rd
MEP Dec 1st

No update since.

Agent told me today that my VO is Calgary and the following:
Criminality - in progress
Eligibility - not started (not even inital review)
Security - not started

Pls share your experience with this VO and your timelines. I would like to know of this is normal application stage after 3.5 months.
This VO is very slow I can tell you that for sure.... it took my application around 10+ months to complete. I was stuck in SS for 8+ months.

Omg, that sounds horrible. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Do you by any chance know what do they actually do in SS?
Is it the VO that does the checks or some agency they cooperate with?

Thanks

CBSA and CSIS and there partners (domestic and international)

Than I can expect my ppr next year
If they need anything from my home country that will take forever, ppl working for gov there are known not to do their job very efficiently.

Thanks for the answer.

Got my notes, and looks like nothing was done past R10- Nov 30th.
My application was bouncing between Calgary and Vancouver VO without anyone touching it.

I've ordered them after around 80 days.
I spoke to an agent 3 weeks later, and she told me exactly the same...
I'm at 110 days now, not sure when to order new ones...

Yes. He told that applications with problems are sent to Calgary VO. And also said not to expect before 6months. Since it’s in Calgary.
Did they ask you any ADR since the process started?
