I think immigration call center 1-888-242-2100 should be able to confirm these details to you whether your file was transferred to LVO and when was it transferred. I found that if you are polite with those guys, they can be pretty helpful.
Salam, thank you so much today I will try to call cic, Jazakallah , Naveed

I applied on June 19,2013 and my file was transferred to LVO in February,2014. I noticed naveedpcs applied on June 14,2013 ( only a few days earlier than me) and that file was transferred in Nov 2013. It will be interesting to see when was your file transferred considering almost same time of application ( June 2013).
I think all june cases are transfered in feb 2014. but they have pick n choose strategy for processing the cases.. Seems like :s

Hi guys! It's been a while since I last posted here. It's been almost 6 months my hubby's case is in process, meaning we have been waiting for ppr for almost 6 months and still haven't received anything yet. I can not explain in words how I feel towards our situation, waiting forever to get together and start a normal married life. Anyways so the last email I got from London was the following:
Dear Sir/Madam,



Please be advised that this file has been assigned to an officer for a background review.



Once the background review has been completed, we should be in a position to advise on a timeframe for completion of the application.



The background review should be completed within the next 30 days.



Sincerely,

NXR
And I received it on November 6. The 30 days will be 6th of December. It says within, meaning I could get ppr email before the 30 days finish because they may finish the review in less then 30 days. Oh and my Mp emailed me after she did an inquiry on my case saying the following:
I was able to follow up and can see that the background checks appear completed as of 2 weeks ago. That is great news. The file is currently pending review and background decision. The officer I spoke with noted that the processing time has passed but because of the new development, cannot send an email as of yet. We were advised to follow up in 30 days. Please send me another email at that time for follow up.

So it's two different emails. One response from London is to my lawyer and the second response is to my mp.
Now guys waiting is killing the both of us.. Especially my husband.
Sorry for such a long post, what are your thoughts on what the hell London is up to ?
Thanks in advance !

Like seriously what on Earth are they doing! Everything is done but still no news of ppr! The 33 months timeline has passed my husbands case, soon it will be 35 months as of the date of AOR.

Hello,

I am looking for some advice or information about how and when everyone's original educational documents and nikkah nama, etc were returned to them? Mine is a husband case and he received his PPR 2 on November 13, 2014 and submitted his passport on November 17, 2014 however he has not yet received any of his original documents back yet.

We did e-mail the London Visa Office on Nov 18, titled it 'Urgent' and asked when they would be returned but have not received any answer back yet. Does anyone know when they are usually returned? Are they ever returned to the person in Canada or only to the applicant in Pakistan? We did confirm around October when they were working on our case that the London Visa Office has all his original documents.

Any advice anyone has would be most helpful to us! Thank you everyone for all your support :)

Naveed, it happens! Even with those that applied later on in 2013 the timelines are quite different for them! It all depends on how fast the agent starts processing your file or the amount of time they take assessing everything.

I will give you an example. Me and my two male cousins got married in the same month but 2 weeks apart. All three of us live in the same city in Canada so we all came back and applied for the sponsorship of our spouses on the same date at the same time. My one cousin got his letter that file is moved to London from Mississauga one month after applying, I got the letter two months after applying and my second cousin got it 4 months after applying. We all applied October 2013. Since then my husband got the medical request on Nov 3rd, my cousin who got his letter 4 months after his wife got medical request a week ago and my first cousin who got the file transfer letter in one month his wife still has not got any requests or updates. It's all dependent on kismat, timing, agents, etc.

Do not worry brother. You just need to keep making Dua!

35 months! That is crazy sister! For me it has been just over a year and already it is frustrating. Again mostly on the part of my Husband, but I visit often enough, but the issue is starting life together. I wish you get your process sorted out ASAP inshaAllah! Just make lots of dua as nothing else helps in these cases! Keep hope! :)
