FEBRUARY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[sugarysnacks]

Hi everyone,
my spouse and me applied mid February and I got an e-mail two days ago from the Vienna office (some final-request...@cic.gc.ca email address) titled "Ready for Visa" in which they asked to tell them if anything changed in family status, passport etc. (it didn't) and to send them a copy of my passport and some further instructions on what to do once I get the confirmation of PR. I assume that this means that the process is at its end. If so, WOOHOOO!! Didn't even get the chance to be active on the forum. But, I checked the status and it still says that it's in process. Is anyone here familiar with this type of email? I replayed to ask them for some further clarification. It's so fast, it seems unreal.

Ok, they changed my permanent resident application status to "Decision Made" today.
This seems super-fast... the application was filed February 4; my wife got SA on March 29 and AOR2 about a week later. (Ottawa visa office)

However, when I click "Decision made," I'm still seeing the same 3 lines:

1. We received xxxxx's application for permanent residence on February 4, 2016.
2. We started processing xxxxx's application on April 8, 2016.
3. Medical results have been received.

Should there be an additional line indicating that the decision was made? I am almost worried it was an error, since it was so quick!

Congrats!!!! You're one of the lucky few!!!! Keep us posted!

Congrats!!
We got the AOR2 on 4th April and today we get an email where they are asking my spouse to send PCCs and medical. I am worried on few points
1) They are giving us 60 days - well for us it is a bit tight because she has to get it from 3 countries!!! - I hope we get it in time. What if we don't get in time like we get in 60+ days so, is it like 100% they would refuse?
2) No change in Ecas
3) Does this email rule out the possibility of interview? Do they now put our application on hold or would continue working on checking the genuineness of the relation?

Thanks so much all in advance for your response. As one of the members here said - I will keep you all in my prayers. totally loved that statement, will do the same

You were supposed to send the PCC's and medical with the application to begin with. The email you recieved is simply telling you your application is incomplete and giving you a deadline to submit the required docs. It has nothing to do with the interview. If you won't be able to submit the docs within 60 days send a case specific enquiry NOW to advise them you will need more time with a good explanation of why, if you wait until the end of the time given to ask for more time you could end up with a refusal.

Thanks so much Iamablue.. The idea of case inquiry did not strike me at all. We did send the medicals and PCCs earlier too. Apparently, we were super mistaken on the PCC validity - valid for 1 year, which does not seem to be the case.
I ll check with my spouse and would definitely do the case inquiry and inform them in time.
Till now, my assumption was that the moment they do we started processing file(3 lines) it means AOR2 and it means that all basic docs are found in order and now they will go ahead with background check and relation check.
Thanks... and Blue-- yours is my first reply ever!!! Thanks

Normally if an application is complete the AOR2 means exactly what you said that they will start to process. When the application is incomplete, the AOR2 is also used to request those missing docs and I don't think they will begin to process until they have the completed application, thus causing a delay in your file. Most PCC are valid for only 6 months.

Btw, no need to thank me that's what this forum is for.

Oh. And it's Bule not blue. Bule is the Indonesian term for foreigner lol.

Has anyone here sent in additional documents via Fax to CPC-Mississauga?

Congrats Mega, I've heard that's a huge step, I wouldn't be surprised if you get DM in a couple of weeks.

lol.. apparently mind sees what it want to see. I have been reading this forum for one month now and every time i read your post i said Blue in my mind.. Now, i know it is Bule.
Damn, so we should already consider 2 months of delay as we will prepare the PCCs and post then they will open the file again(God knows when) and then the process will start..
Good luck and wish me luck too...

Truthprev what's your VO? I don't think you have a 2 month delay, I think all timelines depend on how "difficult" the cases are. Stay and think positive!

Only problem is they forwarded the CSQ to the wrong VO.... :/

They sent it to Warsaw, but my application is being treated in Mississauga, so I want to send them a copy of it not to delay anything.

 

[Fawzietrim]

Received CSQ today.

Great news congratss.. My payment was taken on april 8 so i should expect it next week hopefully.
Hope you receive dm soon

Thanks JJ. Ankara is our VO. I said 2 months because my spouse need to get the PCC from different countries. We would need that much time at our end alone! Ours is a complicated case already as we are a couple of two different nationalities.
