What is your timeline like? CIC received our application on April 6 and transferred us to our VO on May 24.
April 19 2017, only schedule A we have, no medical nor SA

Sometimes the medical is requested by your VO, and some people claim they never received their SA, or received it really late in the process. You can always call IRCC and speak to them about your concerns.

Hey Forum Senior Members,

We rely on the Excel sheets to deduce the average timelines for all steps in spousal sponsorship. Is there any way to make sure that all members in the sheets have updated their statuses and details as of the current date, especially, Jan 2017 and Feb 2017 sheets. The Jan and Feb sheets look half-filled. I may be wrong but a reminder for everyone would be great :)

at least in my account, it now says "no additional docs needed" when prior it was "additional docs needed"

Yaa that's a wishful wish, these excels are a nice to haves but doubt anyone maintains them it is too much work for one person to maintain everyone and not to mention multiple copies of them floating around. Unless they build something in the forum itself it is tough.

It's the same in my account. But when I called them they said they do need additional documents so I did it through IRCC webform and now after they fixed problems with their site it says they don't need any documents. How can I understand what to do if their words never match their site?

Hey all, we finally got our AOR2 from the New Delhi VO. Everything seems to be as it should be at this point. Medicals done, all required documents are attached to the application, ecas shows in processing. Now its just a waiting game until we receive the passport request. Good luck to everyone!!

My GCKey statuses look just like yours. The 'your action is required' notification is just a glitch. As for the background check it will start after the eligibility of the applicant is complete. Now that being said, it could have started at the same time but not updated on GCKey since they are really not on top of it. My SA is approved and Apllicant is 'in process' on ECAS.

Hi all,

all those glitches are weird...I have never received my SA; my spouse, however, already passed medicals (requested by IRCC) and we have also submitted IMM5669 and PCC (even though GCKey app shows "you passed your medical exam" and "we do not need additional docs" (as for the documents, it was a different message before). My understanding is that I was approved otherwise it wouldn't make sense for IRCC to request medicals. I sent the forms via webform and by mail, still no idea what else can I do on top of what already is done:)

I hear you. I guess if you've provided all that can and has to be provided, all we can do is sit back, wait and hope for the best. It's tough but there's so much we can do.

So I tried checking ECAS today, as PA, and the website could not find my application.

Is this normal, upon file being successfully transferred to VO, receiving AOR2?

On the Sponsor ECAS, under the PA section there's already a 2nd line (I could check the Sponsor ECAS though). Funny.
