I was wondering what the usual timeline is from SA to file moving to VO.
My SA was on Jan-14 (Biometric and Med request on same date).
Did not get SA email though, only status change to DM on ECAS.

Experts / veteran members, how many days can it take to move to VO?
Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I have few questions, we have already finished with our Medical and it has already been received and passed.

Under GCKEY account:
Review of medical results - January 23, 2020:You passed the medical exam.

Under ECAS account:
5. Medical results have been received.

But then just now, I received a final request message for our medical.
"Medical: Complete or provide proof of completion of the Immigration medical examination. This must be received at this office by: 2020/02/23"

Anyone got a message like this?
Do they normally ask for proof of completion after medical? What do they actually need from us?
This is confusing. They are asking for something they have already approved of.

The doctors office should send it. Maybe call them

Enter PA information exactly as per passport. The last question is also tricky - number of people in application. You need to count yourself, PA and any dependents even if not accompanying. Number should be at least 2.

It’s still not coming up! It’s super frustrating

Yeah, that's what I initially thought too. But then, having CIC reviewed and passed the medical results and actually updated our accounts the day after only means that the doctor's office has already sent it to them.

Anyway, after reading few queries like this here in this forum we decided to just send them the e-medical form and receipt from the clinic. Hopefully that will suffice the request.

To take an online biometric appointment with the VAC office in India should I opt for "Application submission with biometrics" or "Biometric Enrollment" in the drop-down options for 'Select appointment category'?

And the UCI number on the biometrics request letter is the one for my spouse?

The UCI is for applicant. And select Biometric Enrollment option.

They will send you a mail on Sponsors email. It takes 5 to 20 days to transfer application to local VO.

Hi everyone,

We submitted our spousal sponsorship to Sydney, NS on: December 20, 2019 (Outland PR application)

Application Sent: December 20, 2019
First letter (AOR1) : January 8, 2020
Biometrics Request: January 22, 2020
Sponsorship Approval (SA): January 23, 2020

Anyone else with similar timelines? When I initially called immigration said it will take 2 1/2 months to even receive our first letter, but ours came in 2 weeks, even with the holidays.

wishing everyone a pleasant journey with this sponsorship
