Seems like a lot of applicants from November December and January are awaiting file transfers. And none of us have heard anything concrete from CIC upon contacting them :(

Hi,

Can anyone advise how long is this radio silence going to last from CIC after medicals done?
We are nearing 2 month mark in couple of weeks. Anyone else in the same boat?
I haven’t heard anything since March 8th 2019 (when my sponsor got transfer email from Mississauga). It seems common at this point to have radio silence. I guess it seems even quieter as it’s so busy at the start with AOR, Sponsor Approval, Biometics request and medical request.

Anyway, good luck!

Yes, those were the happy days. Everyone was excited about getting some information from IRCC. Once those easy steps were completed, the real waiting game starts...:eek::p

Yes. There was at least some activity happening within a month that now with no updates it feels quite frustrating.

That means your application is in transit to NDVO. Normally, when NDVO receives your application, it will send you another acknowledge email to you to confirm, that is regarded as AOR2.
I got an email from Miss VO that my file has been forwarded to Delhi for further processing on 12th April which was a Friday. On 15th April I saw a new line added on ECAS stating: We have started processing your file.....however I did not get any email from NDVO.

If you see ECAS is updated, that will count as AOR2 too. Different VOs practice differently. Not all VOs send AOR2 emails.

Don't be frustrated. Think that there are so many people are in the similar situation and accompanying you, and exchanging information fiercely and checking up ECAS or GCKey account several times a day at least, waiting is so meaningful in life now, and patience pays.:p

Do they always send out the file transfer email?
Yes, they should. It's not like AOR2 where some people get it and some don't. Unless there's an actual error you should get an email.
