Yes, they did because the photos are older than 6 months by now. We are supposed to submit them to Vienna though and not Ottawa.

It took around 8 months but apparently we did something wrong and they asked us for two newly filled out forms in october. So technically it was 2.5 months because that is when they started processing.

Our file was also transferred to Mississauga on the 5th of December and we got PPR on the 9th of January. It probably won't be much longer for you anymore either. :)

It was received on April the 12th but they eventually asked for some new forms in October and put me back in the queue with everyone applying then.

My ECAS says decision made but my GCkey actually hasn't been updated. The last update is from the middle of December stating that I passed my medical exam. Everything is officially still in process when I check it. That is kind of confusing now. But the document I got from them clearly says that...

I got my passport request today. :D It seems that people get their COPR quickly and I can assume that it is fine to plan our move for the beginning of May, right?

Looks similar to our application which was transferred to Mississauga on Dec 5th. Holiday season is slowing things down for sure but I am guessing that things should speed up again next week.

The second line says "We started processing on May 22nd" which is one day before we got AOR1.

Yep, that is me on the tracker. I left out the AOR because technically we got that in May. We never officially re-submitted our application as it never had been sent back to us. ECAS said on side of PA that they started processing the application on May 22nd, which they haven't I am sure. We...

Does it really mean that they started processing at the LVO? Mine has been showing as in process ever since they sent AOR1 and then we didn't hear anything for 5 months.

Did you get more than AOR1? Because you can't link in the beginning. You will need to wait for PA's UCI.

Mine never showed up as completed so far. So maybe it doesn't.

I have seen applications being transferred to the visa office before getting the medical request. But I am not sure if any of these were sent to Mississauga or if it always was the LVO processing the application.

I haven't heard anything yet but today my medical exam was updated to 'passed' in my GCkey account. I am guessing that ECAS will show tomorrow as they only update once a day.
