Hello all, I am April 18 applicant. Document status is " The additional documents you provided have been uploaded" .The details of uploaded documents are -

"Replacement Provided
Uploaded Filename: Police Certificate.pdf"
"Replacement Provided
Uploaded Filename: eIMM5669E.pdf"

The documents were uploaded through GCKey. SA, Medical done. Nothing has changed since last one month. File still at Mississauga. Any advice what to to do next? Should I call IRCC or just wait for their response? Thanks
What's your ECAS status? Are you saying that the file is still at Mississauga because the status on ECAS is still "Application Received"?

I uploaded the requested docs on May 22nd and mine still says "Application Received" on ECAS so I'm waiting as well. Let's just hope the reason our applications are stuck isn't that the officer our applications are assigned to is on vacation or maternity leave...

Edit: I called Mississauga ~3 weeks ago and was told the uploaded docs are attached and to just wait.

Hey Guys,

I was away from Forum for couple weeks, how's the AOR2 process going? How long is it taking to receive? We mailed our SA, PCC on June 8th, still haven't heard about our file being transferred to VO. Are we way beyond the normal timeline or this is normal? Just worried and missing my husband. Want him to be here soon :(
Hey, did you receive your AOR2 yet?
Our Sched A was received on June 9th and we haven't had any updates since then...neither gckey or ecas. We are also still waiting on AOR2.

The March sheet is up to date. We take great pain to add timelines and chase people to update it. You can use it as a reference point :)
Indeed you guys do a great job! Thank you.

Hi, I would like some advice. We received AOR on May 10th and spousal sponsorship approval on May 14th. That's the last email we got. I registered to GCKey May 16th.

After a month of waiting, we sent schedule A. It was received and our GCKey changed to: "We do not need additional documents." Then three weeks of nothing.

The GCKey profile says: "Your action is required." But it doesn't say that I need anything. It says wait for medical and PCC.

Is this normal? Should I just keep waiting?

Hi, I have the same glitch on my spouse's GC Key. The application is at the VO and is in process awaiting for medical request. Has your file been transferred yet?

No nothing yet, we sent our additional documents around same time as yours. we can't check our Gckey because we have lawyer to look after that. She forward us the emails as she receive them from CIC, but nothing so far hoping for something by next week.

Maybe they just need additional proof of relationship besides those you submitted. What type of application do you have, spousal or common law?

spousal... they are asking for the detailed development of the relationship, but didn't give any format.

Hi, Just now called IRCC on +1 (613) 944 4000 but could not be connected to an agent due to high call volume. It was confirmed by IVR - (1) Application received on April 18. (2) The additional documents you provided has been received. (3) Medical successful.

ECAS shows two lines -
1. Application received on April 18
2. Medical results have been received

GCKey shows -
1. Additional documents you provided have been uploaded.
2. Background Check - Not Applicable.

Any advice what to do next or whats the current application status? Thanks
