There will be always some applications which will be processed very fast and some, which due to various reasons will take forever (not trying to justify IRCC here).
I have seen some from dec aor got mp and bil.
Congrats!
My only point is that we cannot expect this to be the case with everyone. I got very very lucky, that's all. By definition, not everyone will. Expecting a similar rate of processing will destroy your mental health. There's a couple of examples on this very thread.
Most people get MEP & BIL in 2-3 weeks, I think standard is 4 weeks. Your AOR was jus under 3 weeks ago so hopefully it will come through soon.
Yes it took over a month for me to pass medicals after receiving BIL and providing biometrics a day later. Then just over a month later, Portal Email.
Thanks for sharing this, I got MEP yesterday (then changed back to "you do not need a medical exam", I would count it as MEP) and also BIL for my wife, so I think I can expect mine in March (hopefully).
my primary Vo is CIO NS and Secondary is Ottawa. this is what i got from call centreMost people get MEP & BIL in 2-3 weeks, I think standard is 4 weeks. Your AOR was jus under 3 weeks ago so hopefully it will come through soon.
My guess (and it's nothing more than a guess) is that the speed of processing largely depends on the visa office you've been assigned to (assuming the application is complete, nothing complex, etc.) It's a very small sample but it seems that Ottawa is processing applications faster than other VOs. I think that's all there's to it. But I may be wrong
Yes but the overall process from AOR to Portal Email was just over 3 months; so I’m happy with that!
