Yes I'm right behind you, did ECAS update? I received medical request the same day as SA and did medical July 7. I received a letter in mail dated July 6 that file was transfered and on July 12 I saw ECAS update that they started working on file July 11th.

I heard KVO has been doing a lot of interviews lately and issuing Visa on same day while you wait, Happened to a friend of mince she applied last year Aug 2016 and got interview for Feb and visa was added to passport same day and I noticed here a few 2017 have received interview dates for sept and october so I guess next for us is interview date hopefully wont take too long Keep me posted when you get an update from your friend.

I have my fingers crossed for Dec 2017 :D
OMG I really don't want to be interviewed and hopefully I have enough evidence in my application that they do not but if I have to do an interview so be it o_O . Dec 2017!!! I was hoping for September 2017 the latest haha looks like that wont happen.

This is what my hubby sees when he logs in ( well im the one that checks daily to see if his is updated :) )

  1. We received name application for permanent residence on May 4, 2017.
  2. We started processing name application on July 11, 2017.
  3. Medical results have been received.
(I deleted my name and replace it with "name"

This is what I see when I log in

It seems we are all in the same batch. My friend that works at the Commission in Jamaica just message me that she is going to ask if my application has reached *fingers and toes crossed* Im assuming if mine is there then everyone that they started processing on July 11, 2017 SHOULD be there. That's the operative word- should haha.

Oh lol I understand my Husband is the PA but I'm the one that checks since guys care zero about login in heck he doesnt even have an email address so i used mine for both of use and CIC decided to email him to my email address and physically mail everything to me. looks like they sent the applications in batches and then will distribute them to an agent. I just going to guess we will have the exact same timeline moving forward. spousal sponorship for specific countries probably go to same agent while other handle other sponsorships and/or countries. like at my company we break the work load by application types and then by province so i handle all office applications for Vancouver.

Fingers cross July 11th applicants get a really nice and effient agent that has no planned vacation until 2018 lolol.

My summary:

  1. We received NAME application for permanent residence on May 19, 2017.
  2. We started processing NAME's application on July 11, 2017.
  3. Medical results have been received.

Oh yes sooner would be even better but ill take December even tho that's a crazy busy time for me. Plus I just bought a house with 6 car drive way I need him here to shovel the damn snow this winter i can not take on that task.

I have 4 more days of vacation left for the year so I might go to Jamaica October. I've already been 3 times this year 1 more trip before I put Jamaica on break would be nice, I dont even want to see the letters KIN after 2017 I need a break I need to see the rest of world.

no I haven't even received my aor as yet
Base on the date it is exactly a month (give or take a day). Im thinking you might hear something this weekend (hopefully). They received my mail on May 4, 2017 and on June 9, 2017 they emailed my husband to confirmed they received the application (AOR1). That same day (9.30 pm Jamaican time) they emailed me information to link my application). I didn't get to link it until the following Monday as its not so easy to link. When I linked it, there was an email waiting for me (the email is always waiting for us once we link it:rolleyes:) asking for my police record and schedule A. So it took me a little over a month for them to email me the confirmation so im thinking either this weekend or early next week for you.

Hi, we have the exact timeline was just wondering if they transferred your file to kingston as of yet? I'm still waiting for them to acknowledge my husband PCC and Schedule A haven't heard anything from them for over a month now.

We do? Yes, they emailed my husband on July 5 to say they have forwarded my application to the Kingston visa office. Let me check how long after I submitted my record and schedule a that I got another letter.

Did ECAS update ? That's the only update I saw when I submitted and it was a while after. On June 12 I linked my application and saw the request for a schedu and two days after I submitted my schedule a and police record. I did my police record (April/may) a month before this and was waiting for them to ask. I got another notification June 28 for medical and I did that three days after they asked. July 5 my husband got the email that my document is being sent to Kingston visa office.
