Thats the unique code for the Streamlining program..It's either SAR or SIR (not sure which)..the "red flag" for the persons processing to not sit on the application, someone asked about it in a post ages ago on this thread after seeing it on their GCMS notes...if you order your GCMS notes it will say ***Identified for SAR*** or something of that irk (in other words your application is straightforward), just with the background check being instigated after only 2 months, and no other action beyond AOR's I was hoping to get it confirmed I was being streamlined.
I was trying to avoid having to order the GCMS notes and wait 30 days, by having the agent take a look...but guess I will now. Although part of me is actually thinking "a watched pot never boils" and "what will be, will be"
At a guess I would say it stands for Spousal Application Reduction?
Again, educated guess here, but civil servants being target based, and having a new liberal minister breathing down their necks who wants to see election promises being delivered, a team would have reviewed the applications, or used a computer program to identify the "right" applications, and rightly or wrongly picked those that, are the easiest to approve in a short time frame to show compliance with the targets. Mostly, first world, no long wait for background checks etc, no question on relationship etc etc
It would be interesting if we ran an exercise to see if this theory holds water, those that have an "out of place" background check what is the nationality of the sponsored person...I'm UK, and my check is UK only (no other country besides birth country and Canada of residence), so should take about 2-3 months. I'm also married to my spouse, so no issues on proving relationship.
I do not even know what to say? Did she even ask when you had submitted your application?
