****June 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

[Lobato]

I got nothing and we have the same AOR2 date. Jan 14

Hopefully we will get some update soon...

I called the immigration a while a go and they said they dont have access to my application because it was already in manila visa office.. Hoping to received from manila visa office soon

 

[Lobato]

So, checking the immigration tracker it seems that Mexico VO is still working on applications from January 2018. I think we will be waiting probably close to the 12-month deadline, which means another 5 months for my application. Anyone that follows the whatsapp group has news about the Mexico VO processing applications from June 2018?

Are you checking this tracker?
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-spousal-sponsorship-tracker
In that case, its very misleading as a lot of people have not updated their status for months. I have the same issue with New Delhi VO as many people stop updating the tracker after a while. I wouldn't depend too much on this.

Oooh, thanks for the input @stormbringer
Any updates from your side?

 

[Lobato]

whaaaaaaaa???

Mexico VO is reaaally slow... so I am waiting to get my PPR somewhat close to the 12-month mark; then if I get it earlier, it will be a good surprise and if not, I was not expecting it anyway heheheehhe

If you check the Mexico VO thread here, there are quite a few applications that are over or close to the 12 month...

Good Day!



This is in response to your request for an update on the status of your application. We do our best to make sure everyone who has applied to immigrate to or visit Canada is provided with effective and efficient service. We receive an enormous amount of correspondence daily. Although we would like to respond to all of it, we recognize that it takes resources away from processing applications, which leads to longer processing times. As a result, we do not provide detailed replies to applicants requesting a status update on their application.



Applicants for permanent residence may check the basic status of their application on the Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) website: Client Application Status: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en

Please note that changes in the volume of new applications received and in the resources available to process them can lead to shorter or longer processing times. Some applications, owing to their complexity, take longer to process than others. Processing could be delayed by any of the following factors:



- An interview is required

- The applicant has not complied with a request for documents or information

- We are awaiting the results of background checks or verifications

- A medical examination and/or treatment is required



Applications are processed in the order in which they were received. If any action is required on your part, we will contact you using the contact information you have provided on your application.



If there has been a change of your marital status, family configuration, or address, you may update your application, but we request that you send a signed request by mail, fax, or scanned e-mail attachment (see our contact information below).



Please provide the following information in all correspondence with our office:



- the subject of your message

- date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy)

- country of citizenship

- file number or UCI

- telephone number, including area code,

- mailing address,

- email address

Could it be possible that they have actually started BGC without posting any update on ECAS or GCKEY accounts?

This line summarizes the long email.
"As a result, we do not provide detailed replies to applicants requesting a status update on their application."
They will not provide updates unless you've crossed 12 months.
eCAS and GCKey are not reliable. The only way to know your file status is by ordering GCMS notes.

Hey everyone,

Our file is currently in mexico. We received an email today from mexico vo that our file will be transferred to Trinidad VO. Were June 2018 applicants. Thanks

[Awy]

I just want to ask a question if anyone knows.. if the applicant decides to move to another country can they transfer his file to the new country he will he moving to? Knowing that his file was transferred to the visa office two months ago

That's correct. My BGC and eligibility "started" 5 months ago, but highly doubt that this is correct since my application was transferred to Mexico in November 2018, and Sydney didn't perform eligibility checks as far I am concerned
