This is AOR1, as informed by members on other post threads.

We just sent my husbands passport copy and photos yesterday. Should arrive in Ottawa by Monday (And we had the same issue at UPS! Fedex was better, but still had to take a couple of their brains to make it work). My husband will be landing around December 28th, due to his work being silly about the holidays. So excited this is almost done. We submitted June 28th

Does getting your application sent to LA or New York mean you're getting interviewed for sure? I've heard most USA --> Canada applicants don't get interviewed unless there's serious unresolved criminality. Hopefully mine doesn't get sent for interview as my wife has permanent rehabilitation for misdemeanour shoplifting.

Our file was sent to LA dec 18th for further processing as well. I haven’t heard anything since and not even sure what the next step should be.

My application was transferred there on June 7th, 2018 and have received no updates since. 9 months without hearing anything besides a "your application is in line to be reviewed" whenever my wife or I try contacting them. There are a few other people in that thread who have also been waiting for over 9 months now for any kind of update. They have been unreasonably slow, it's really getting discouraging, just past our 1 year mark last week.

Any updates after your files sent to LA?

Nothing, 11 and a half months without any kind of update. When my wife or I try contacting they just reply with "file is in line to be reviewed by officer" they didn't even reply to the email my wife sent almost three months ago now.

Has it been 11months since they’ve sent it to LA? That’s crazy. I saw online if it’s passed the recommended processing time which it says 12months than we could send the web form but still took them that long to respond? Wow that is slow. Thank you for your response, I appreciate it.

Yeah, 11 months since my transfer to LA. Next week will be 14 months since my wife and I first sent the file. Medicals expire in May so I'm hoping I can hear word from them soon...

We relocated to Canada on 1st Jan 2019 and shipped our car from Texas US. Car had a lien since I had a loan on car. Went through all hassles here since I didn’t have original title. I had to visit service ON 6 times to register my car coz they don’t know procedure for temporary import of US cars with liens. They asked me to get letter from DMV. Spoke to DMV where in they helped me to apply and get certified title history which shows that you are the owner of the car and other info. They sent me the certified letter which finally helped to register it in Ontario.

Hope this helps for anyone who is looking to bring in their US cars with loans. Yes you need even lenders authorization letter notarized to take car out of US.
