Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone here has a similar timeline as us
Express Entry Applicant - FSW-O
First PPR - 01/09/2017
Married - 03/11/2017
Request for Additional Docs - 09/11/2017
Additional Docs Submitted - 08/12/2017
Status Changed to Medicals Passed - 12/01/2018

Nothing has changed since then and background check remains in progress.
I have quite an extensive travel history however i got first PR in 3 months. My Wife doesn't have much travel history but has travelled to Canada on a visitor visa.
Emailed CIC recently and got a template response.Guess there's not much we can do except wait patiently and hope for the best.
Just wanted to share and get some insight perhaps :)

Hey, guys!
I am nervous and anxious just like many of you, so I thought I'd share my timeline as well:

AOR: December 22nd
Got married on 31/01/2018
ADR: 21/02/2018
Documents submitted on 03/03/2018

My application was in IP2 when I notified CIC of my marriage, and my file was at CPC Ottawa. My husband's UCI appeared on my application on 06/03/2018.

Hi Daniel, are you from Brazil? I've heard that SPVO has been kind of slow.
Have you tried ordering GCMS notes? I think I'll order them in a month or two, since I've just added my husband last week.

I added my spouse before PPR and we got PPR after 76 days. I went to IP2 on the same day I added him (3 months after AOR).

This is my timeline:

Hello.

I am waiting anxiously too.

My timeline

AOR - Aug
Marriage - Nov
PPR - Jan
Raised Request after PPR in Jan
Submitted Spouse’s Docs in Jan
Medicals requested & submitted in Feb

Looking at @danielcoelho I’ll probably have to wait more.

My status is medicals not received.

My spouse had taken Medicals earlier so we sent Delhi the e-medical copy via email and upload the same on the web form.

HI,
I had a query. If you guys can able to help it out.

I got PPR in September 2017 and getting married at the same time.
I submitted all the requested documents for my wife by October 2017. Any buddy has an idea how much time it takes to finish the entire process?


Is there any way to inquire about the status. because my file is in New Delhi visa office right now.

your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You should have gotten it by now, usually it takes couple of months.
I think u should order GCMS notes to get a clear picture.
Btw how do u know that your file is in new delhi?
Did u get a medical request for your spouse yet ??

Ottawa office informed me that your file has been transferred to New Delhi. That's how I know.

No medical request yet.

I got married on jan 10 and first ppr was on jan 9.
Uci was generated on feb 14.
My office is ottawa too but i dont know if they have changed it to delhi.
As i think it only takes few months for re ppr but it really depends on case officers, your VO and many other factors.
Gud luck to you.
Stay in touch and feel free to ask anything.
Do u mind sharing the application stream??
