Thanks for the reply. There is a question if you did apply before for visa/eTA or if you've got a Unique Client Identification/UCI.
If you have a PR application in progress, you probably already know your UCI. It's in the format xxxx-xxxx. It may be in the PR application acknowledgement.

Hi all, update for the spreadsheet available. We received notice on May 3rd that our application was being sent to CPC-Ottawa for processing. What do others think of this? Good thing?

We're still plugging away at the 7 police certificates needed, but submitted a letter of explanation, UK police letter, Schedule A and had the medical exam completed and sent by April 29th. Hopefully they'll keep progressing things while we work on the police certificates

You will see from the analysis of the last 20 decisions by visa office on the front sheet of the tracking workbook, that Ottawa takes about 5 months compared to 7.5 months for London. So is it a good thing? I would say so. I would far sooner my pack went to Ottawa than London!

Spreadsheet updated.

Have a quick look at the spreadsheet, that has the information we are after.

So you should be an outland spousal sponsorship of a nationality that you would expect your application to be handled by London. If so:

Married or CL? Date app received at CPC Mississauga, Where you currently live, date of SA (if received yet, Visa office sent on to (if done yet), any information requested and date etc.

The just keep us updated on changes by posting on this thread please.....

Offence: drink driving
Sentence: 16 months driving ban and £200 fine

Hello,
LONDON Office, Non-Pakistan applicant - e-Medical sent couple of days ago. ECAS says "Medical Passed".
Considering the above details, any idea how long (in average) would it take for PPR (Passport Request) assuming no interview nor additional Docs required. ?
Thanks
