If the PA's ECAS states "We started processing your application" it is AOR2. Lots of people have confirmed that they never received an e-mail stating the above. Before AOR2, PA's ECAS will say "We received your application". At least that is what I have gathered...
Same here. It depends from country to country as well. In my case, we are both outside of Canada. So we have AOR2 and background check etc. but no medical request. From what I have researched, our local visa office requests medicals a month before requesting passports. It is crazy.
so strange , I suppose every VO is different . In my case medicals done and passed yet no AOR2. Still settled in and waiting

Hi all,

Received the request to send photos and passport for my wife's application today.

PA: South Korea
Sponsor: Canadian citizen

Let me know if anyone has any questions who also is/has a PA from South Korea - it was a long process to go thoroughly through each section of the applications and a few sections that there seems to be no consensus on.

Hope everyone who is still waiting gets some good news quickly.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Are you both outside of Canada? Have a look at the spreadsheet on page one and try finding people with the same VO. That's what I did. There were only two other people who used my local VO in 2018, both waited roughly 2 months after file was transferred before they received their medical requests. So I figured - if the two-three month mark passes after my AOR2, I will start asking questions to the VO. So I am expecting a medical request end march - mid April. Hopefully :)

No I am in Canada and my husband the PA is in the Dominican Republic. Our VO will be Mexico, or is mexico ? when they decide to let me know its been transferred there haha.
Im not too worried, as its at least a 12 month process, should i net see anything by the 7 month mark i will reach out to ask questions.

There isn't, it's simply a step in the process and just because it came in 2-3 months for other doesn't mean it will for you. Sometimes the Canadian processing centers send the request, sometimes it doesn't happen until after the file has been transferred to the VO.

Hello,

My wife did her biometrics and medicals yesterday in Nigeria. What is the next step? Anyone processing from Nigeria here?

What does DM, PPR and VOH mean?

Thank you, I hope to hear from someone soon.

Thank you, I hope to hear from someone soon.
DM means decision made,you will have to wait for a letter from immigration

PPR means passport request again you wait for the email to submit your passport but not for long

VOH simply means visa on hand,after you’ve recieved your passport with the visa attached to it



And after biometric and medicals I don’t think you will be on a long waiting list again.Your time is almost here
