Congrats sherri_TX_AB.

If you are a us citizen apparently the processing time takes about a year. So i guess that's great news from you :) my application was send to Ottawa as well even though i'm not a US citizen.

Here is the thread for Ottawa visa office and the spreadsheet if you want to follow them :)

I got my AOR and SA! :D So happy and relieved. What happened was, our letters had gone to our "representative" instead of me.
All along I thought the info would be coming to me. The person who helped us with our application is the one receiving the emails...
You chose your representative. They should be keeping you up to date and any questions should be directed to them. ;)
If they aren't doing their job, at least now you have your UCI# you can check the website for yourself. :)

Hey y'all. I had submitted my application on September 17, they received it on September 21 and today (November 25) we got spousal approval. They changed our office from Los Angles to Ottawa. Hopefully that means that it will process faster?
When did you receive your AOR/email?

I know right? They can't even update their own website. Processing time is updated weekly but the last update is Nov 10th. 2 weeks off.

I think that's intentional. I think they don't update it because if they did, they'd be behind. So, rather than have an influx of calls from people whose processing time has now passed, they wait to update it until they're ready.

They've done that for at least the year I've been viewing that site.

CIC: sneaky as hell.

I received my AOR on Nov. 25th. Woohoo!!
I started in this board because I mailed my PR application on Sept 28th, but then Canada Post routed it out incorrectly and it ended up in
Mississauga on Oct 2nd. So I am on the October 2015 - Outland applicants.

I just wanted to say Hi and give an update. :)
Hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there.

Oh happy day!!
Smiles,
Tracy

Although I haven't been posting to this thread with every update we get, I've been updating the spreadsheet. My wife's app got sent to Ottawa, which is normal from what I understand for an American's outland app. (She's in Canada with me on a VR.)

I looked at the Ottawa-specific spreadsheet, and some of the timelines are blazingly fast, even ones within the last year. I guess it's still totally possible it could go through in like six months, though obviously we're not banking on that, haha.
