Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

[Westie]

Hi Everyone,

Arrived in Canada on 28th October with no updates from immigration. A week later received an email advising I am in the final stages and to complete Appendix B. I emailed in the day after and received my COPR today a little over a week later all the way from Australia. When they finally got around to processing it, it was really fast. Just want to thank everyone here for the advice and support and hope everyone else moves through soon. Be patient if you need to and best of luck to everyone here.

Thanks

OzKhan that's great news. Finally!!

Hey all, have a quick question for all.
So we had an interview on Oct 15, wife went down to Sydney for it and I was on the phone. At the end of a long interview they were satisfied but they needed one more document (some kind of vic road check... victoria road check (since she's in melbourne). We were told they will ask for the passport withing 6 weeks, let's say it's been about 4 weeks now.

Should I be sending an inquiry for application status and if so, how would I go about doing that?

Hi, wait the 6 weeks as paddy o suggested but when your ready here's the email I used when I sent an enquiry about where my COPR was coming from.
I got a response in just under a week. Just add your file number and details

Before or After New Year?

After New Years. I will move to Toronto in March. I have to stay in Sydney that long for work.

One last Christmas and New Year in the Sydney summer before the Canadian cold.

The things we do for love eh ;D

A week after I received my COPR letter my ECAS status has changed to Decision Made... I wonder what the decision is ;D

Has anyone seen any movement in their applications this week?

That ecas is a bit of a joke really. We got all the way through sponsorship approval, file transfer and the Quebec application before ecas even said my application was in process.

BUT, for your question - YES! I've received PPR and will be posting Appendix B away first thing in the morning. Finally, finally it looks like we're getting somewhere

Oh ;D Congrat for you.
Look like you will have a COPR very soon

I'm still stuck right here. As I need to ask for a movement record from Australia. I don't even know why they ask for it.
I just recived GCMS note and everything is OK, Eligibility Passed, Criminal Passed, RFV but need to review movement status in Australia ???

That's hard and I really feel for you. Seeing people getting through the process really quickly while we muck around with bureaucracy is tough. I know how I was feeling until the PPR came through. Hopefully, your situation will be sorted quickly.

Hang in there mate. They seem to be churning through applications in Sydney at the moment. I'm sure you will be done soon.

One thing that might help to keep your spirits up - it looks like Sydney doesn't just put applications aside when they wait for more information.
I had delays, as you know, on the Quebec side and since they say that the CSQ must be received before the application is processed (for those of us going to Quebec) I was really upset to think how long all this mucking around would delay things.
Sydney must have worked on the application anyway. There is no way they could have got the police check and background checks done by now if they had sat on my application and waited.
I got the final decision, with everything finally sorted out with Quebec, 8 days before I received the PPR. Sydney had notification of that decision exactly one week before requesting my passport.

I can't know if this will be similar for you, but Sydney seems very keen to churn through the applications as quickly as possible and it's entirely possible that your application is completed, apart from that one check. So, don't be too disheartened because PPR could be closer than you think.

Yay! Good news (I know that excitement ) If you are lucky they might update ecas to "in process" sometime LOL

Hi All

I have had received PPR request last month and have already sent passport copies on 8 Oct 2013 ( as I am under visa waiver category passport holder) along with Appendix B form and prepaid post envelope as per their request, but still waiting. I can see during tracking that this was received by Sydney Consulate on 9 Oct 2013. My Medicals, Police Check, RPRF all done already. Can any one advise when should I expect COPR.

Good luck to all anyway.
