Okey, Ill share my Timeline. Mine is a strange case though. I lived in Canada (study/work) for the past 10 years and got married there(2016) and living in Sri Lanka after my marriage (my work permit expired) last year . SO yeah hoping to get back to my marriage :rolleyes:

My timeline

Application Documents sent : February 20th 2017
Acknowledge letter : March 4th
Schedule A requested : March 6th
Schedule A submitted : March 7th
File Transferred to Colombo : March 21st
Medicals Requested : July 25th
Medicals Done : August 4th
Medicals passed : ? (Around August End)
Pre Arrival service : Nov 1st
Police Cert requested : Nov 3rd

To my knowledge If all the documents are done properly and no other complications it usually takes 8- 12 months(New or Old systems)
Where do you send the police certi? In the email, I don't see address. They ask to send original, means hard copy?
