Waiting for 5 months for file transfer after SA. you are too early to be worried. :)
Hello :)

Need your opinion regarding:
Many old applicants (August - October 2018) are being asked to give medicals and all after their files get's transferred, while we were asked to give medicals and biometrics right after the SA. Why would that be different?

Its normally depends on which Vo they are getting transferred. For example if th App is marked for Singapore VO the medical follows after the file transfer.

Being a Pakistani applicant my VO should be London, but still I got the medical and biometric request with SA and still no file transfer? How do you see that?

We both are kinda in the same time line. I am also stuck in Sydney after medicals. My VO is NDVO but not yet transferred. I feel like thye processing the background check and it is causing the delay. once it is finished they will transfer. London and Delhi had a huge backlog so Sydney and Mississauga started sharing their work. All we can do is wait and hope it is over soon.

Hello Everyone,
As, my file was returned it back because supplementary travel document was missing in my spouse file. Also,Immigration requested to have the updated checklist and the other forms.

My question is I have to submit the Police Clearance Certificate again with a new date or the old PCC certificate would work.

However, i sent the file on 29 April and received in Sydney on 3 May and file open on 17 June and i returned it back on 24 June.


Thanks

How long did you wait?
My application was received on January 31. AOR1 and medical request were around March 13 and file transfer on March 20. We received a document request that everyone receives if their files are transferred to Hong Kong (submitted forms around April). Received Bulletin 1 on May 9 which is an email stating that our application has arrived in Hong Kong (kind of like a late AOR2 I think). After that, no news until yesterday's biometric request. Now that I'm writing this out, maybe it wasn't that long but since lots of people were getting MR and BR back to back, I felt like it was a long wait.

I think you shouldn't worry about it. I also didn't submit fees for biometric with my application, which is why I think it took so long. I read somewhere on one of these threads that the biometric is sometimes one of the last things they will ask for if they don't ask for it right away. Several people on here received biometric request late in the game but they also got DM a few weeks after that. I'm not saying the same thing is gonna happen to your application or mine but we can hope for the best :)

So, got the biometrics request this morning (tracker updated).

My wife is American and currently living with me in Toronto (goes back to the US every couple of months).
Wondering if anyone is aware of an option to do the biometrics at Pearson? From what I've read, I don't believe that's an option unless they are a student or have a valid work permit, but trying to see if there are other options?

If not, can we simply go to an ASC in Buffalo, NY get it done and come back? Any concerns with this?
Thanks.
Hi there! I wonder if you can still do the biometric at Pearson airport? If you can, plz tell how to do it! thank you!

Just one more thing: I received the biometric fee request on March 26, so it can a long wait unfortunately.
