February 2017 * OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLIC*

[Pepe_Lupardo87]

I did my fingerprints for the RCMP Check today at an office of Commissionaire in Saint John. Now I hope that my record arrives by mid next week and then I can finally upload it.

I got the same email twice today and I didn't contact CIC. I'm currently visiting my husband in Canada and changed my home address on April 6. My Ecas has shown my new address since April 10. Then I got medical request on April 11 with my new address on the form. My husband and I have not received any confirmation regarding the choice of my visa office yet. I'm hoping my application will be transferred to Ottawa since I changed my address. It is strange. My guess is that we'll receive an email or mail about our visa office soon.

I am not sure if anyone ever encountered this, I got an automated email from CIC/IRCC today. Email is given below but the strange part is me and my wife didn't contact CIC/IRCC at all but we got an email stating thanks for contacting IRCC.

[Navika]

so,
is there any harm in calling the CIC, if you can get ahold of them, and just seeing where your application is at?

Hi I'm a newbie here in the thread and it's quite comforting knowing that I'm not alone in this journey.

As I have read, a lot of us haven't heard anything from CIC yet regarding our Schedule A document receipt. However, due to my paranoia about this, I have re-read the correspondence given to me via email when they were asking for my Schedule A. So here's my major issue as of the moment:

1. They sent me a correspondence (via email) on March 16 requiring me to send the Schedule A document and link my account to myCIC. I was then able to link my application in my myCIC account successfully but there are no upload button available. It is also stated that there are NO required documents or optional documents for me.

2. I uploaded the Schedule A document via IRCC Webform instead BUT since I just uploaded the same document I was intended to submit in myCIC, I haven't put a handwritten signature in the document.

My deadline for the submission of the document was just last April 14. Should I submit again a new Schedule A document via IRCC webform containing my handwritten signature? It was stated that we should refrain from submitting a lot of documents though which puts me in the dilemma right now.

Hope someone can give me a piece of advice.

Here's my timeline:
APP FILED: 2/21/17
AOR1: 2/22/17
SA: 3/16/17
ADDITIONAL DOCS REQ (SCHEDULE A): 3/15/17
MED RESULT: PASSED (UPFRONT 11/27/17)
INTERVIEW REQUIRED: NO

I don't think it would do any harm, but they might not tell you anything useful as your file is not in Canada anymore.

We uploaded our Schedule A on March 14 as per instructions on myCIC account. SA email was received March 6. Email for file transfer was received March 13. March 23 our VO sent the last email we got saying they received the email of our signed Schedule A (which was requested by VO in an email, so we submitted Schedule A twice). They said our file was still in transit and they have not received it, please be patient and keep correspondence to a minimum and they will let us know when they receive our file, blah bla bla.

Since it's been 44 days since SA, I am going to call IRCC call centre today and see if I should email the VO. (Maybe I should just email them directly, but I heard it might take them a few weeks or maybe never to email you back, so I'd rather talk to an actual human).

Will let everyone know the results of the call (hopefully I can get through).

We submitted Schedule A to the VO on March 14 (36 days ago). We did receive confirmation on Mar 23 from VO that our schedule A was received via email and file was still in transit. However, we are still waiting for VO to send email saying they opened our file and send a request for PCC. We also uploaded onto myCIC account as there was a request to do that. Today I called IRCC call centre and agent said he saw it got uploaded successfully.

Did you upload your schedule A via IRCC webform or directly from myCIC account? If you did one of these two things, call the IRCC call centre and it should show up on their system that you uploaded successfully or they can check the status to see if schedule A has been attached to your file yet (this might take a while).

Now I see that a number of other people have done the same thing to no avail.

Good luck to all of you waiting to hear confirmation after submitting schedule A. After confirmation, just have to wait for VO to contact you. Hopefully you have a swifter response as agent at IRCC told me today, they can't tell you status of application unless VO sends out correspondence to applicant.

Hello all,

I was requested for Schedule A on March 11 and uploaded successfully thru IRCC webform on March 16. Up until then SA shows " Decision Made " & PA shows " file received ". Next, I received a request for Medical on April 11 (submitted April 14) and ECAS now shows 2nd line under PA "Medical results received " & SA still shows " Decision Made " - no change here.

Wondering if anyone went through similar situation ? Has the file been transferred to local VO ?

Usually when the PA Application Status changes to "In Progress" from "Application Received" in ECAS this is when the file is being transferred from CPC to local VO. The third line appears in ECAS at the PA side "We started processing.........." and after almost a week you get the AOR2 from the local VO. But lately due to the technical glitch for uploading documents in CIC accounts these patterns/process is missing.
