Based on a review of the information you have provided, your application has received a positive final determination of eligibility for processing on the basis of Arranged Employment in Canada.

Please note: The requirements for Arranged Employment are outlined on: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG72.asp#factor5

Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents.

Visa Office will receive your File from CIO, Sydney & process it further. NDVO will send you a AOR after receipt & check of the file, thereafter you will be issued medical/request for Passports. Simultaneously VO will be conducting background & security checks on your file. However for AEO applicants this may take longer then usual since the employer is also checked.

Your medicals will expire in August 2011 & it seems unlikely that you will get anything by then, so most likely you will have to get fresh medicals done later.

Processing for FSW-2 applicants is very vague.... sometimes people get meds & visa within 5-6 months of file transfer & sometimes it prolongs even beyond 12-14 months. It all depends on how good your documentation is & how well publicized your employer is (in terms of presence on the web or a known brand). Since incidence of frauds with AEO applications are high, it does take more time then usual with the background checks & all.

Since you are already working with your future employer, things in your case might be tad faster (if they have no further queries with your application), so expect something by Nov.-Dec. 2011 or early Jan. 2012.
