Woohoo received PPR and pre-arrival today! They arrived via two separate emails sent to both PA and Sponsor. Sydney, Australia is the processing VO. Timeline: PA: US Citizen residing in Australia | App rec'd:Dec 5 2018 | AOR1: Jan 31 2019 | SA: Feb 13 2019 | MR: Feb 19 2019 | Med...

Hey, We have a very very similar timeline and also transferred to Sydney, Aus. We're in the same boat as you with lots of action at the beginning with AOR1, SA, File Transfer, AOR2, Medical, all happening within about 6 weeks. It's been radio silence for the last 6 weeks since then, though...

I’ve submitted several webform requests directly to the Sydney, Aus VO with a consistent timely reply of about 5 business days. You can find local VOs on the IRCC website and there’s an option to submit a webform.

Thank you, that is a great response. It’s just so frustrating when we have submitted several webforms with documents showing that we have tried to submit the requested documents… And we only get a one sentence reply telling us that they have not received anything, but with no additional...

Hey friends, hoping someone may have some advice/resources to alleviate my anxiety... We were asked for an additional RCMP fingerprint check soon after receiving AOR1, as hubby previously lived in Canada for 7 years. Long story short, we have missed the April 1 deadline they set for us. We...

That right there is some sound judgement!

You can get info as the sponsor IF you are the representative. We submitted a representative form listing me (sponsor) as the representative with the original application. I have called IRCC and been able to get information a few times now. Each time I call they ask me a few questions and...

For us, myCIC was updated to say "You passed the medical exam" 4 business days after the medical was completed, and ECAS also updated to say "medical results have been received." Do you know if the clinic that you went to uses the e-medical system? That would likely make a big difference in...

Quite a few of us here are in the same position. My account has shown eligibility and background "in process" since the first day we linked accounts. I can think of 4-5 others here who have had the same. No one knows for sure, but it seems likely that it doesn't mean a whole lot... My hubby...

Hey friends, Does anyone know when in the process "We are checking if you meet the eligibility requirements" changes? i.e. does the PA at some point "pass eligibility" while the background check is still in process? Or do eligibility and background go hand in hand? Thanks for any wisdom...

Am I understanding correctly that you included an FBI fingerprint check with your original application? I would think that would cover all states? In any case, I believe you would only need NM as he hasn’t lived in WA for 6+ months since the age of 18. Also this wouldn’t include RCMP checks...

Mine has said the same re: background check since day one. That seems to be the case for several people here.

Thanks for that... that’s odd, we submitted RCMP on Feb 19 and never got any confirmation. Seems strange that it would just depend on the agent whether they give a confirmation or not.

Hey friends, Does anyone know if ECAS or myCIC/GCKey update once Gary receives an additional document that you’ve submitted? We received requests for 2 additional documents — an RCMP fingerprint scan as hubby previously lived in Canada, and a driving history as we live in Victoria, Australia...

We’re being processed through Sydney, Aus as well - would certainly like to keep connected with others in the same boat! I’ve looked back across the last year on the spreadsheet, and while there aren’t many Aussie applicants listed, several on the spreadsheet seem to have been processed with DM...

Hi, yes, I attached all of it with the original application. I was just giving examples to the person who asked the question — I guess they didn’t submit it originally and have now been asked for it.

Sorry you’re going through that - the time frames are so frustrating! And yeah, totally crazy that the clinics can be so blasé about it all and then charge you $600 for a short appointment just because they know you have no alternative. Major eye roll.

All of the advice here is spot on to what we did. One additional thing I included in my "proof of intent to return to Canada" section was have my parents and a few close friends back in Canada write letters/affidavits attesting that they have known for at least the last 2 years that we plan to...

Wow! Do you have any more details on when they applied? Inland vs Outland? PA country?
