just one question, what they mean by ''possibly b.f)

BF'D is an acronym for "Bring Forward Date" in the Canadian PR processing system. Usually our file moves from BF'D to BF'D, as it is the day/date next earmarked by our VO to check our file. This actually serves to eliminate unnecessary clogging of the system... that if there is nothing further to add in a particular file, the VO moves to another case file to work on, rather than holding onto the same one.

What happens on a BF'D
In simple terms it is the date that the file will be looked at [again], assessed, reviewed by your case handling officer at the CHC. S/he will check if anything is lacking, any further queries to be made [to you], any documents to be asked or if any decisive action is to be made/taken. Basically it serves as a 'Reminder Tool' to the case processing officer & that your file is not 'forgotten'.

Now, if the VO observes that something is lacking [that which was asked for], s/he will probably attempt to contact you on this BF'D day and mark another BF'D on your file. This depends on the subject of check [the all time phrase 'Case-to-Case' basis]. Sometimes, if the check report warrants, the VO might not give you another opportunity and take a decisive action. Note: The situation is fluid & no one can really provide a sanguine comment on it.

If you're the sponsor and live in canada as pr or citizen I think CIC doesn't need your travel document. The travel document of the sponsored would be way more important!!

Thank you.

Anybody hear anything from SVO lately?

Seems this thread is going silent again.

 

[htquach]

Still silent on this end and still waiting on GCMS notes.

Sort of good news, I quickly scanned the 2015 outland spreadsheet and the SVO applicants' time from SA to DM is not as bad as I thought. Longest was 190 days and most of the others were 2-4 months. These figures might be skewed because the people on this site are more likely to be in genuine relationships. By the way, there is an applicant called "Buletruck"... what does "bule" mean... lol.

Bule (pronounced Bu-lay) is the Indonesian slur for any and all foreigners lol.

2-4 months really?

Did you see any interview/refusals?

 

[htquach]

There were seven applicants and all seven DM, PPR and stamped visa. Four have landed.

Here are the days from SA to DM:
191
76
112
~ 150
~ 120
40
~ 90
76 <-- Mr. Buletruck!!! Maybe good news for you???

I know, there are 8 here. Not sure how the spreadsheet figured out the 7 applicants. Looks like cutoff issues on the spreadsheet.

How long does GCMS take usually?

As for the 2015 spreadsheet, did anyone get DM post july?
It seems like all the other VOs are moving slowly but surely, NDVO somehow is processing 2016 applicants in 3months, but SVO is just stuck. Like they are on an eternal holiday :-X

From what I understand, waiving of the interview is a good thing? I hope you get good news my friend!

Waiving of the interview is most definitely a good thing. If you're called to the interview it generally means they question the genuiness of your relationship. It also significantly extends processing time and opens the door to a refusal if you can't answer the questions to the liking of the officer and convince them you're marriage is real.
