After a long spell of no correspondence, we finally received notice that my Schedule A was received through webform and that our file has been transferred to Ottawa. Is this considered AOR2?
How long did it take after you received the notice ?

Hey everyone, I have some updates in myCIC after 1 month since my app was transferred to my VO.

They requested me (via myCIC) to upload again my Sched A with the details "Replacement needed". I'm not exactly sure why as there were no any reasons stated. I'm thinking maybe because I wasn't able to upload in myCIC last March when they first requested it because there was no Upload button at that time. Though, I still submitted it via IRCC webform.

This time, they're only giving me an instruction to upload it on myCIC. The initial request for my Sched A last March included options to send it via myCIC, IRCC webform, or mail.

Anyone having the similar request? :)
my spouse also received a similar request. Does your ecas say "in process" for PA?

ECAS just says

1. We received your application for permanent residence on February 6, 2017.
2. Medical results have been received.

That's is and that's all it's said since early March.
Hey I was in a exact situation until I decided to call CIC last month and was advised to re-submit my SchA. After submitting, couple weeks later PA ECAS status changed from " Application received " to " In process " and a 3rd line popped up last week " started processing "

Hope you get it soon :)

Hi,
I am a newbie here. I am about to start to fill out the forms. I just want to clarify.
I am only sponsoring my spouse, we/he doesn't have any children. Do I need to fill up the financial evaulation form (IM 1283) and sponsorship evaluation form (IM5481)?
Thanks

Just got off the phone with CIC this morning.
The woman told me that my Schedule A and PCC were attached to my account/ file even though I sent them ahead of time. So that was good to know that they had them.
She did say, however, that everything that needs to be done is Mississauga has been done. so she doesn't understand why it hasn't been transferred to the VO. So she said she will be sending them a message telling them that they need to transfer it.
she said it will most likely go to Ottawa. but my BGC hasn't even been started.
She said she's only doing this because it's been 3 months and we haven't heard anything.
I've read from the facebook group that this is actually normal for OUTLAND application.
Anyone else experience this?

I bet it's because we sent them early on.
So with that, it must have just be placed in a pile and since it didn't need to be updated, it was forgotten.
But the woman said she'd message them..
so that's good news. Maybe we'll hear back this week c:
Super hopeful at this point.

I'm a March applicant and our schedule A was attached to our file on Apr 24 but we still haven't been transferred as yet even after calling CIC and being told everything needed is there on our file. We submitted medical and PCC upfront as well.

She said that ours was attached Feb. 21st. Which was interesting but good to hear.
I would wait a little bit and call. it sounded like she's only sending a message along since it had been three months..

Just got off the phone with CIC this morning.
....
Anyone else experience this?
When I try calling 1-888-242-2100, it goes all the way through the automated call, and then says "Due to high call volume ... unable to transfer call " and they just hang up.
Is there any other number to contact them?

Thanks

That happens to everyone. You have to keep calling back and eventually you'll get through. Buuuuut it will keep hanging up on you until you do
