Nice, congrats LLAngel! I'm from an visa-exempt country, so I didn't have to send in my passport. Seems like they are doing everything in batches.

Thanks Maartenvg,

Did you get any email or any extra line in ECas? I'm pretty sure we all got approved. It's pretty amazing you guys only had to wait 5 months for the whole thing!
Congrats! We can all be with our spouses for Christmas!!!

Did you get any email or any extra line in ECas?

Nope. No e-mail, and ECAS doesn't have the extra line. It just says "Decision made" under the status.

I'm one of those lucky ones who's already living and working in Canada with their family, so the wait hasn't been too hard on me. I arrived in December 2012 as a visitor, then in May 2013 I received a Working Holiday permit for a year, and in April 2014 received a regular work permit.

The only thing I'm slightly worried about, is that I'm flying to the US next week and it would be really great if I could land on the way back. But I doubt the COPR will arrive in time for that.

Congrats to all! Such wonderful news!

Hi LLAngel

Let us know how it goes once you receive your passport back. We all hope for the best answer possible - a nice shiny PR visa on the inside and / or a cOPR!

Congratulations to everyone who recieved dm

Hello PM1983,

My husband application state that processing started on July 21st, 2015 and on September 14th we received a letter stating that he was missing a police certificate from Montenegro.
He work there on and off for 1 year and we completely forgot to submit that with the application. The advised for him to get that from our own country but after 3 weeks of trying in vain, he went straight to Montenegro and got it after 1 week. So our application was delayed because of that for 1 month! Vienna confirmed they received everything on October 22nd 2015 and we haven't heard back since.

I guess we are only at 7 months mark which isn't too too long but when you see some people getting approved within 5-6 months it makes you worry. Biggest thing is that I want him here for Christmas! I have to work so I can't travel to be with him :s

If they didn't ask for additional doc by now, you are probably all good

Good luck!

Hi I have been waiting since February when I first applied and may is when my app got sent to vienna. I have not been contacted for anything no additional documents nothing at all. It been almost 7 months since it's been in Vienna I don't understand why mine is taking so long. Please help

Hi/ Pershendetje Kosovo94,

Could you please post the timeline that shows on ECas right now? Also, did you email Vienna at all???

I would order GCMS notes to see what's happening.

Hey Cansk,

Did you order GCMS notes? I'm wondering how much details to they add on those notes? Thinking to order them just to see what went on

Thanks!

 

[Cansk]

Yes but first notes had no officer assigned yet. It was still over 30 pages and lots of codes to decipher. I'm expecting another set this week. Hopefully with more progress. It's interesting to see.

I believe they document everything that occurs every step of the way...Officers notes included.

Let me know when you get the second set of notes. Curious to know how the officer's notes look like. What kinda stuff the write about.

Cheers!

Qysh je a je mir.

Recieved application February 23 2015
Started processing application May 22 2015
Medical results have been recieved.
It does not say anything else and I have not been contacted for any additional info or anything. I emailed vienna office all they said was my application is in the queue for processing back in June when I emailed them.
I don't know what to do because it seems that everyone who applied after me is receiving their visa before me. And thereis nothing complicated about my case. No kids first marriage I don't know why it would be taking this long. And I have a question does it matter if I got a immigration consultant

Application received: September 24, 2015
AOR1 received: Nov. 17 (54 days later)

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here to get their PR as soon as possible
