Hello,

my time line is as follows.

Application sent : May.10,2016
Application received : May.12
Not received AOR email.
No update(information) on E-CAS

I am thinking of requesting for urgent processing as I need to visit U.S. in several months.

Mu question is;

- if I request for urgent processing NOW, should I send new application with required documents? so that my already sent application
would not be reviewed by IRCC.

- If I don't want to send new application, should I wait for 'started processing' status in E-CAS and request for urgenet processing via
'case specific enquiry' ( https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx )

- which is better between requesting for urgent processing via the above 'case specific enquiry'(with uploading documents like e-ticket, proof of payment) and sending documents to IRCC by mail?

your answer would be highly appreciated

Did you happen to apply with only 730 days of residency or close to 730 days? If so, I would not request urgent processing.

Just looked through your history. It looks like you applied with only a week or two over 730 days. In that case I would not request urgent processing. This tends to result in CIC examining the application much more closely and longer processing times. I would leave the application as is.

Scylla,

Thanks for your advice.
I sent a application after staying about 745 days in a row.

Would it be good idea if I request for urgent processing right away via case specific enquirer if my application would be sent to secondary review ?

It is almost two month since I sent an application. But no AOR email and nothing in e-cas.
Should I just wait for updated information from IRCC ?

Your comment would be highly appreciated.
