We waited more than 4 months between AOR and MR/SA. We are June applicants. We thought that the delay was caused by the moving to Sydney
That is terrible. I saw a lot of June and July applicants being backlogged, but I thought they caught up by August/September. Obviously not and obviously, there is no consistency at all. For example, they picked up a lot of July/Aug/Sept/Oct applications before they picked up yours for processing. I refuse to believe that it takes 5-6 months to do eligibility review. Some files may have been overlooked or forgotten or someone may have made a mistake on their end. It is sad for us who are waiting to be reunited with our loved ones, but what can we do? :(

Sad indeed. For me AOR itself took 5 months :D

Nice! If you don't mind me asking, when did your background check go in progress? Mine has been in progress since January, but we are both outside of Canada so I guess it is different. Medical request came in a month after AOR2, and were passed on Friday. We are 6 months in the process already, hoping for PPR soon.
The background check message literally changed when the PPR email was sent before that it did not say started. Ours was Mississauga office, so assume it will depend on your visa office.

Hi guys,

I got an update in the form of an email today saying that the spouse Visa application has been sent to the London Visa Office for further processing.

Medicals and Biometrics have already been cleared. I someone in the same boat as me? Any idea what this could imply?

Hi I have done medical and biometrics as well October applicant medical passed Feb 10 , when did you pass medicals how long before the transfer email to London VO , they have to send off the application to local visa office to start eligibility then background and finalize

Hi all,
So my wife got a call from the Canadian High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya
She is being asked to go for an interview. Any insight on what they may be looking for in the interview?
