Hi - we don't have much of an update. Received the notes and it looks like the application wasn't touched between sponsor approval and when I sent further ( unreqested) information along. We have decided to lease a place while we wait. We don't have high hopes. I wish it was better news.

I'm with you. Except no progress since November 28th. Literally nothing. I've ordered notes and the file has t been touched except when I 'manufacture' a reason to email them. We are starting to wonder whether it's a better bet to have the file transferred to Ottawa for processing. Can you even...

Wow, so much progress! Congrats everyone! Hopefully our application moves to the next stage soon. We are thinking of contacting our MP. Still haven't received notes even after 2 months! Anyone know how to follow up the nortes request?

Not a word. Makes me think they are having a fabulous summer in Sydney. Too busy for any work!!

Yeah we ordered them too. It's been 8 weeks and we don't have them yet, so we can't even check up on where our application is at. Disappointing.

Was able to link the application back in December, but I think that was more of a curse than a blessing. Now I check it obsessively! I ordered the notes at the beginning of February, and they still haven't sent them despite a number of follow ups. I'm happy for everyone else but would love to...

Application was received on November 3rd and they started processing November 28th 2016. Nothing since then.

I'm with you. Nothing for months. Everyone else seems to be moving forward. Maybe soon we will hear, too...

No good news here. Sydney Visa office is still asleep at the wheel.

How do you send a status enquiry?

I don't know what the usual timeframe is for Sydney. There are so few people submitting to that office that it's hard to gauge. Then of course most of the people from that region just have their paperwork sent to Ottawa and seem to fly through the process in sixteen weeks or less. I'm so...

Has anyone received passport request without first seeing background check in progress? We have been so patient and are wondering why we haven't heard anything from the Sydney visa office. I wonder if they are still holidaying from Christmas! Also- did anyone Order their notes? We ordered them...

Thanks. Im sponsoring my Australian spouse under family class Outland. The medical was done upfront, all fees were paid etc. Just waiting now.

Are you sure the background check is happening now? MyCIC looks really confusing, in that it says something like "your application is in process. The next step is a background check". If it is in process, I've heard it can take a couple of days to a couple of months. Nevertheless, that's the...

What is MR? And would PPR involve sending the actual passport? I would have thought it would just be a photo copy since Aussies can stay for a few months without a visa. Not a lot of people on this forum seem to come through the Sydney VO so it's not easy to guess accurately at timelines...

How fast are we talking? I'm a November applicant and haven't heard anything since the file transfer. Anyone else feel like this process is painfully slow?
