Thank you for your opinions! As soon as I have some updates I will inform you. My intuition says my background checks are not done yet, as waikiki suggested. Let's see what my GCMS notes say - I will get them in 10 days. My case should not be complicated: no kids, no divorce, no criminality...

Thank you for your congrats. Yes, my ecas status says in progress now. I haven't received any email so far... I am a bit afraid that they started processing my application on Sept 5 which would mean they haven't even started background checks :(. Maybe I will have to wait a few more months...

I have an update after 4 months of waiting. VO started to process my application on September 5, 2012. We received your application for permanent residence on February 9, 2012. We started processing your application on September 5, 2012. Medical results have been received.

Wow, finally good news, thanks for sharing it with us. Congratulations to AOR recipients!!!

In my opinion, it is good to send JUST ONE inquiry after 3 months since AOR. No need to wait with the inquiry as they reply after 28 working days anyway... Also, I think it is better to show interest rather than being inactive... Good luck Canadavisa friends!

It's "application received" & "medicals received" for me, too. My ecase has been showing this status since I received AOR in May. They added my mailing address in June... Look at the below info I took from ecase Application for Permanent Residence Outside Canada. It seems like "application...

Hello Bobbi and all, I haven't got a status inquiry response so far. The computer-generated reply suggests I should get a reply within 28 days. However, I found this on Vienna office website under the "contact us" section: If a request concerns an application already being processed in our...

I can log with both UCI# and the file#....

Bobbi, that's bad news, I am sorry to hear this... I will get my GCMS notes on Sept, 19 - I am sure I will get the same as I am form feb while you are from jan.... :'( :'( :'(

Honestly, I understand that processing can take up to 9 months or more... but their responding to inquiries after 28 days is not acceptable... 2 weeks would be ok but 1 month is simply way too much especially when you get a general answer only... Let's hope for an improvement in Sept...

Hi Tipha, thanks a lot for your helpful suggestions! Also, I am thinking about sending an email/fax to the VO stating that I will be "out of office" in a specific period so I won't be able to attend eventual interview or provide requested docs... just to make sure as I do not want to get refusal...

Yep, I am from feb and got my AOR 95 days after I filed my application... I will check my email while on vacation, but what if they ask me to provide a document and specify a deadline I won't be able to respect due to the fact that I am away? I heard that if the applicant fails to provide docs...

Hi guys, I got my AOR pretty fast - 12 days after the Mississauga CPC approved our sponsorship. However, since then (3 months and 1 week) I haven't received any instruction, anything. I sent an inquiry and have got no reply yet. I'd like to go for a longer vacation to asia... but I am afraid...

Yes, its good to stay optimistic... Hope you get good news soon!

Thanks a lot, Bobbi! No, they haven't responded to my status inquiry yet. :'( How is it going on your side? Any news?

I ordered my GCMS notes today. When shall I expect to receive them? In 3 or 4 weeks? Whats your experience? Thanks a lot!!!!

Hello everyone, today I sent an application status inquiry email to VO. This is the computer-generated reply I have got: This computer-generated reply confirms the receipt of your enquiry. Please do not contact our office again before 28 days have elapsed....... This is a similar...

AOR stands for "Acknowledgement of Reciept". Following the approval by the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, your application kit will be forwarded to Visa Office in Vienna for further processing. When the Visa Section of the Embassy receives your full application from the CPC in...

Well done!!! :)

It seems like the processing time statistics based on Q1 data is not relevant after the Berlin office closed. Apparently, the processing times have been extended... We have to be patient...
