Take it with a pinch of salt but ... I read on someone's post on this forum (can't find exact post id to put) that they were given 60 days to upload additional documents and even though they did it almost immediately it still took exactly 60 days before they were taken into consideration. Poster was obviously very upset.
My own experience: we were requested to resend police certificate that we did 2 weeks ago and no tractions since then. We are at the stage where we are waiting for transfer to VO.
Thanks for posting this. Even though I am hoping for the best, I am prepared now that this can happen. So here goes for another grain of salt update/post for those waiting on transfer to VO:
I got request for additional documents from IRCC (found in my GCKEY account) today. My husband did military service in USA and the letter went something like this:
Dear PRIMARY APPLICANT:
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:
* UCI# - PRIMARY APPLICANT:
* Military Records: Please provide a copy of your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. This must be received at this office by: 2019/12/13
---- a bunch of more stuff about how this is a final reminder to get medical requests done and "NO FURTHER REQUESTS WILL BE SENT." ----
Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence and address your correspondence to:
CPC Mississauga - FCPAPR
PO BOX 6100, Station A
Mississauga, ON L5A 4H4
--------
We submitted our application to Sydney, NS. Neither my husband nor I have received any updates or emails indicating that our file got transferred to CPCM. Heck we don't even know if it will be NY or CPCM. Yet the letter was signed: "Sincerely, Officer VA, CPC Mississauga - FCPAPR"
Here's the speculation part. Maybe:
1) They got the file but did not start processing it or send "AOR2" (does CPCM even send AOR2?) or whatever because they are missing the military discharge certificate, or
2) A script or bot sends files to applicants that their file got transferred which hasn't been run for us (seriously - am I just shooting in the dark now?), or
3) the file wasn't transferred at all, and the response was just sent because a CPCM visa officer happened to be looking at an electronic form of our application.
Like I said - take it with a grain of salt. Maybe your file got transferred as well and they just didn't tell you. Who knows. Keep checking your gckey account regularly and stay positive. And warm...if you are in Canada or anywhere else where winter is hitting especially hard.
Cheers.
