Same situation and similar dates here. I wasn't aware of the UPS ground/domestic issue till I saw your post, but it looks like our package got shipped yesterday and will arrive via UPS ground next week. Hopefully yours went out at the same time too. Good luck.

For reference for those getting DM from Mississauga, here's the timing after our PPR: Dec 18th: Ottawa received passport copy, photo's etc. (a bunch of holidays) Jan 7th: We received an email that GCKey account was updated. When we logged into GCKey, for Final Decision it now said: "Your...

Unfortunately no background check yet. Still waiting like a bunch of other May applicants. I'm still checking the Mississauga thread, just haven't commented in a while. Hopefully, my next post will be soon and be BGC in progress!! :-)

I have a similar timeline for medical request and exam. My GCKey showed medical results passed a couple of days after they were received, but my ECAS has stayed at received. So I would recommend checking your GCKey account or have someone call for you to hear that information.

The US Outland thread is for American applicants applying move to Canada as PR, so someone there may have dealt with the issue of a passport card.

Did you try asking on the US Outland thread? You might reach more Americans there. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/us-outland-applicants-thread.106068/

Sorry, I don't know the answer, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this discussed in the US Outland Applicant's thread if you want to look through it or also try posting there. Good luck.

You might get more info posting this to another thread as this one is people whose applications aren't getting processed outside Canada, but are staying at the Mississauga office. Maybe there is a Warsaw thread. You could also try checking the consolidated spreadsheet for Warsaw-processing...

Those of us who didn't get transferred and are getting processed at Mississauga got an email telling us that would be the case. Some got the email months after applying (mostly those from earlier in the year), some weeks after.

I only saw two applications prior to April that indicate they are getting processed at Mississauga, yours and one other, that didn't have DM. The others all did. I figure you can only compare within a single visa office as the offices around the world all have different workloads and hence...

I believe the letter only says the exam needs to be done within the 30 days, at least ours was worded that way. Our exam was done within the 30 days but the results were sent to CIC after that time-frame and they were passed with no problem. That's just our experience though.

Looking at the consolidated spreadsheet today, it appears everyone who applied in April who listed Mississauga as their visa office now has DM. :) Hopefully May will soon follow suit. Even though no PPRs, at least it is progress...

You can follow the separate Mississauga Processing thread, which is for those who have received that email. Also, I find the consolidated spreadsheet (link below) to be a great way to see how the Mississauga applications are progressing...

Thanks for sharing that info.

Congrats! Our timelines are similar (except for the med request), so hopefully that portends well for the rest of us May Mississauga peeps.

A channeler is a third party that submits your fingerprint info to the FBI. We had our results in under an hour. See Option 2 on this link. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/united-states.asp

I'm a May applicant so don't follow the June spreadsheet, but if you look on the Q&A sheet of the consolidated spreadsheet, the answer as to whether the "getting processed in Mississauga email" should count as AOR2 was yes. There are a bunch of us in May who listed that as AOR2, and I suspect...
