December AOR 2017 - join here.

My AOR was in late Dec, but I paid RPRF upfront. Maybe that's a factor that speeds up or slows down the application?

That's pure conjecture. I doubt that is true

That's odd. Maybe call them?

Any no to call them if I'm not in Canada?
I only found the hotline number for the call inside Canada.

Folks have had success calling that number using Skype/Hangouts (using credits). I've never tried though. Also, they log all calls and upload notes to your case file.

Hi everyone good to be here. Please suggest what is wrong with my application. I am an Outland. My AOR was 14th December, got medical passed on the 21st of December. Since then I have been on IP1. Today is day 36, it seems too slow to me. Where will my file be at this moment?

Hi everyone!

My AOR is Dec 25.

Are you guys checking your account for changes in status everyday? I'm so anxious I keep accessing my profile every few hours. I can't control it.

My AOR is 8Dec, and paid the RPRF on the same day, upfront. It took almost a month for MEP (10Jan). So maybe ppl who paid upfront has some issues which is slowing down the process... Who knows...

I too paid RPRF the same day. Are you also in IP1?

Hey, can you pls share how does NA3 look like?

I have been on NA3 for more than 2 weeks now, is this normal?

 

[Rise and shine]

I too paid RPRF the same day. Are you also in IP1?

Yes... I am still in IP1.

 

[PeterEgus]

Yes... I am still in IP1.

Well, we have no choice but to keep waiting.

Ha ha, I'm also guilty of that It's become borderline compulsive, I can't help it either!
And I agree with PeterEgus, we can only speculate and wait. No two applications will have the exact same circumstances.

I got the below message on my VISA office inquiry:

Good day,
Please note that your application is being processed at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa as per our regulatory timeline. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization.

My timelines are :
AoR: 27/12/2017
NA1: 27/12/2017
MEP: 11/01/2018
IP1: 11/01/2018
NA2: 17/01/18

Does this mean my application will be processed out of Ottawa or will they transfer it to my local Visa office? Thank you!

 

[PeterEgus]

This is what I got few minutes ago when I wrote to CIO. They said that my application is still with Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia. And I am in IP1. Please how long does it take for it to leave the CIO in Sydney to the next stage?

Hi all,
AoR: December 13, 2017
Got UCI but getting impatient as no update, no medicals, no nothing after that. Initially and still got this technical glitch, Your Action is Required - asked a question about the problem and they acknowledged the problem and told everything is in order despite the problem. After two weeks asked about the VO, of course still in central intake office and desperately requested GCMS notes to make them notice me!

I was in similar situation. My background status changed to "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information" on Jan 09 and from that date till yesterday my Medical status was "You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes"

Finally "Review of medical results" changed to "You passed the medical exam" today.
