Thanks Rossei for maintaining the 3 spreadsheets! I updated my entry in the 2016 SS. Based on a glance through 2014, 2015 & 2016 applications, it seems the LVO's are much faster in starting the Stage 2 process after SA. I couldn't find a single request from Ottawa yet for Medicals, PCC etc even for applications that were transferred in April except for a single user, "meetparents". The LVO's on the other hand, New Delhi, Warsaw, Tev-Aviv etc are sending out requests for documents within less than a week to a month of the file being transferred there!
one thing about LVO is that they can request everything upfront and go to sleep. We will know for sure which is faster once the PR's are finalized.

Glad to share with you guys that I just received a regular mail sent from CIC on May 16 saying that I have met the requirement (does that mean I got the approval?)

The application package has been forward to Hong Kong.

Rossei, could you please update my information in the spreadsheet? Thanks!

Now I have a question that what is the next step I (or my parents) should be expecting? And how long it is going to take to get the next step?

Thanks a lot! :D

Hi Guys,

I have a question for others who have been transferred to NDVO i.e. gks_2012 & skk18. Did you receive a separate email with the instructions to get the medicals done? I have received one mail that outlines all the document requirements and it also says that a separate email is being sent containing the instructions on how to get the medicals done but somehow, I have not received any such second email as yet. How long did it take for you guys to get the second mail with medical instructions?

Regards
Tim

Yes that's normal, I got the same email for document request but nothing for medical yet.

I believe they might wait for our documents or atleast the fees receipt before sending us medical request. Or might come in another email sooner, but will keep you posted if I get anything.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Tim
Is your mom the main applicant? I filled the representative form for my parents. Does it mean that I will receive the next communication via regular mail or email? parents are in Delhi too but the file is transferred to Ottawa...just got a letter via regular mail. Just wondering how to obtain PCC from Delhi...is it online application on the website? Don't know the process at Ottawa Proceeding center .

There are actually 2 users from 2014 batch who received Medical Req from Ottawa. And none of them is "meetparents". :D

BTW, after reading your post, I've made a table (exclusive in 2015 SS) in STATISTICS sheet which shows all LVO Transfers, IME/PC Req & PPR from all 3 years (2014, 2015 & 2016). You might be interested in that.

How do I update my mom's address?
I got SA via email last week and they already sent my mom's case to Singapore. My mom is currently in Canada with me and I noticed that her mailing address the showing on her file is missing some information. Do I complete the online form to update her address or do I have to contact the Embassy in Singapore or Thailand which is my home town to update the address? We also included her email in the application, which I assume that they will contact her via email instead of mailing.

I am also her representative, does it mean that all the communication to my mother will come to me instead?

Sorry for so many questions. If someone can shed some light I would appreciate it.
