When did Sydney receive your application?? Do you see any speeding up of process?

They received on the 20th of December. It took 64 days for it to go to "In Process" That is not bad at all! Now just waiting for the AOR.

Congraz, so you will receive the book to study soon. Anxious to see how long your file will take to complete. I have seem some new cases that was finalized within 12 months. But a friend has waited for 16 months and still hear nothing.

Application Processing Time varies from office to office, some offices are faster than others.

When CIC transfers files to your local office after, "In Process", is it done digitally, or does your physical file get sent? I'm betting digitally. It is less costly and quick.

Should I be worried if one member ecas was updated and the other nothing yet? We applied in the same envelope

Only one member's ECAS will be updated. Both members will appear in same file as it's treated as one/joint application.
