Also it seems that I am seeing a new trend that they are now emailing and asking for the missing documents instead of returning the whole package. Am I right?
Sound right.

Hi guys, I've got some updates on my application if someone can update the spreadsheet for me:

Application Sent: 31st March
Application Received:10th April
AOR email received: 9th May
Application linked to GCKey: 9th May
Sponsorship approval: 10th May
Medical Exam request: 10th May
Schedule A and Police Report Request: 15th May
Medical Exam taken: 18th May
Schedule A and Police Report Uploaded: 18th May
Medical Exam passed: 26th May
My Partner received an email too on the 26th May saying it is now "In Process" and is forwarding to the Ottawa Office. Not sure if this is the ECAS permanent resident step. Either way it is moving forward well for us!

I have very similar timeline to you. I also received Schedule A and police request on 15 may. May I ask you when did you actually submitted it. I submitted it about after a week and still shows application received. Also when did you receive medical request. Thank you in advance

Does the applicant ECAS status say "We sent you correspondence on May XX, 2017. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required."?

Hey destinedlove, what info did you need to give the agent in order to do this? I'm April 28th and haven't heard anyth
Hey, he asked me my citizenship number then asked me about my PA's UCI. He has a visa already so I had that number. He told me my app is in process. And literally 2 mins after I got an email to link. I have to call them back tomorrow though. Hope that helped.

Hello Oulrish,
ECAS only says, we recieved your application on 19th April 2017.
SA does mention below though but my spouse only received medical request today.

A request has or will be sent directly to the principal applicant with instructions outlining the requirements for submission of the Schedule A to CPC-Mississauga. If your principal applicant or their representative has not yet received this request, or an invitation to link their application to My CIC, it will be sent in the next 5 business days. Your PA or their representative should also check their junk mail in the email account provided at the time of application submission.

I suggest you wait it out for a few more days, then call to inquire.

what city are you in ?
Guessing you're asking about the city of origin of my sponsor? He's from Markham—Stouffville region, ON.

We live outside of Canada for two years now, in the UK.

Hi, I submitted the Schedule A and police report on the 18th of May via the upload option when logged in via GCKey. It now says the additional documents have been successfully uploaded. I received the Medical request on the 10th of May -the day after AOR1 and the same day my partner got his SA so it all happened pretty quickly compared to others I think.
