Congrats! We just got ours last week too (via Vienna as well)... Isn't that just the best feeling?!

We're done and dusted as well! 8 months in total when all is said and done Vienna really seems to be picking up the pace. Now to find my husband a job finally gets his PR and the job market is tanking in Alberta so it's always something!!

I'd like to share our good news in hopes of giving all that have been waiting some newfound hope! We received my husband's COPR via courier today! 8 months in total waiting. Must be honest, we have a really cut and dry case but even still it's faster than expected. I sincerely hope this means...

Yes, my and my husband have applied through Vienna. There is a Vienna VO thread if you're interested. Seems to be going really fast at the moment for German applicants... so far us Dutch applicants haven't heard much. Germans that applied way after we did have already gotten their COPR :/ I...

Can't help but feel a bit jealous as well! I know we haven't waited a year yet but I wish they'd start processing Dutch applications as fast as the German ones!! My husband is 100% Dutch on both sides of his family but was born abroad (in the middle east during the late 70's) and has worked a...

Not yet, we haven't heard a word from them really. I emailed them last week to confirm they received our application (for some reason Missasagua sent it to Ottawa at first then forwarded it to Vienna upon enquiry) and got a response that they got it in July and that it's in a queue. We've had to...

Yes! Keep the good news coming!! We're 7 months in and figure we have another 10+ months to go brut can't help but get my hopes up when I hear there are exceptions to the 17 month quote...and yes, I know it's just an estimation!

And you applied in April?! When did you get your sponsorship approval? It was delivered by post but was your ECAS updated beforehand to in process etc? Sorry for all the questions, we applied in May. Congratulations!

I was never given contact info for Vienna on my SA, is this information any of you could provide me with? Email? Phone number, etc? I tried looking up how to do a case specific enquiry but apparently that's not possible due to "technical difficulties". I'm so annoyed with cic already and I'm...

Yup, it's true! You're stuck with me in the Vienna office :P

When I emailed them I got an email back exactly one week later... I couldn't call because I'm outside the country but if I were you'd I'd definitely ring them!

Small update on our situation. Got an email back from Ottawa exactly one week after emailing them. In response to my eloquently worded email enquiring why they sent our application to Ottawa vs Vienna all I got back was: "Dear Applicant, I have retrieved your application and your file will be...

Just to "decision made" under sponsorship and my husbands application changed to "application received" and "Medicals received" but nothing about any addresses...which according to rocohen above no one gets their VO listed on ECAS.

Yeah, I sent out an email last week... Still waiting for a reply. In the meantime my ecas was updated *shrug* We sent plenty of proof for intent to return so I'm not too worried about that, just want to get this VO business sorted out.

Also congrats to you too on your SA! We tossed around the idea of waiting to do a medical for my husband as I've heard they can expire regardless before landing but at the end of the day we didn't want anything additional to possibly give them a reason to stall in processing our application...

Congrats! We've got an almost identical timeline :-) Our letter stated that they forwarded our application to Ottawa as well. As far as I know yours is supposed to go there but being that we're applying Outland in Europe it remains a mystery why they forwarded ours there vs our local VO....was...

Congrats! Who needs an AOR when you've got your SA directly....far more efficient I'd say!

A sign of life on ecas this morning. Sponsorship changed from "Application Received" to "Decision Made" and Stage 2 changed to update that Medical Received. Does anyone else's specify their visa office on theirs, because mine doesn't?

I've emailed them (no phone number provided and as I'm outside Canada I can't call the call centre) Fingers crossed I'll hear something back before the end of the quoted 20 work day response time :-/

We definitely did an Outland app and requested Vienna as our VO. I mean, if my husband needs an interview we'd rather travel to Vienna than all the way to Ottawa from Europe! Only other thing I can think of is that in 2012 we did apply inland but we cancelled our application well before I ever...
