Hello Everyone, I’m a Jan 2017 applicant. I had e-mailed LVO and was informed that an integrated search was completed and they do believe my husband and I are a bonafide couple. However, nothing was changed on MyCIC. What does that mean? What’s next?

Fellow January 2017 outland applicant waiting for a loved one to finally get their PR approved so that we can begin our lives together in Canada! Hoping in time for a white Christmas in Canada... but we'll see if that is possible or not! A follow up chest X-ray on November 8th for my husband the applicant, and then hoping and praying that a decision made and PPR will follow soon after in time to catch our already booked December 22nd flight to Canada!

Just a heads up that the consolidated excel spreadsheet is still up and running. Please update your status so everything is up-to-date, and helpful for others to see average processing times :) (If you no longer want to be on the spreadsheet, feel free to delete your information as well.)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dJsaLvHra4173xPfRwZbXo73hsxoXaLSJ5-tcm7qnJI/edit#gid=1901600763

Good luck with all those that are still waiting! 12 month target is coming to an end soon, so hopefully all of us remaining apps will be getting some exciting news in the next couple of months!

Thanks!

I'm also a January 11, 2017 applicant! You're not alone! We had file transfer on same day - Feb 1! Still waiting for DM and PPR! Identical time as you :) Did you get AOR2 and/or Background check in process yet? Our BGC started on July 24th, and just waiting for medical to pass since it wasn't requested until July 24th at the very end of the process!

Just got PPR today. So relieved. Been lurking on this January thread since it started and I felt like my turn would never come. But patience pays off! Good luck to everyone still waiting. I hope you all get positive news before the year ends.

Congratulations!!! Very exciting!! Just did a 3-month follow up chest x-ray yesterday, and the panel physician said that it was good and he has no issues or concerns. Although a little unfortunate that the hospital won't transmit the new medical results for a whole week! But just relieved that we are finally in the home stretch! Hoping for a DM and PPR within a couple of weeks, since his eligibility and criminality passed back in July!

Hi everyone. CIC received our application January 30th. Sponsorship was approved shortly thereafter, and the letter we received indicated that our file would be forwarded to Ottawa from Mississauga. I called CIC last week. Our file hasn’t moved from Mississauga. We can’t link our application online, and have sent technical reports to no avail. CIC couldn’t see any new entries on their system, other than the SA. No medicals, no background checks, nothing. We were told that the file would be sent overseas possibly since it’s an Outland application and my husband is a USA citizen, but we had been told previously as well that it could be processed in Mississauga. The 12 month timeline is fast approaching, and we are getting concerned. Is anyone else in the same situation? When we called CIC, they said everything appeared fine, no cause for worry, and even though they don’t see any new updates or entries on their system does not mean they aren’t working on the file. I would think that if the file is being looked at that there would be updates on their system. Can anyone advise? This process is so confusing. Thanks!

In BC since last Sunday, as a visitor since I haven't received my PR yet. Wish they could finalize the application soon so I can start working... Moving to Victoria, BC, this weekend where I have a job as Senior Mechanical Engineer lined up.
Last communications from CIC was Feb 20th. Confirmed today with the call centre that all documents requested have been received and there is nothing I need to do at the moment. Application never left Mississauga and is supposed to be processed there from what I've been told, doesn't really seem like they have been doing anything with it for 7 months though...
Same with us, I don’t get it.

We also essentially have had no updates on our file in our GCKey account since the beginning of March, that was when eligibility went into progress (background check has been in progress since Feb 22). I pretty much gave up looking at the GCKey account ... a waste of time setting that up! At the almost 10 month mark, I am getting tired of seeing people from March and April now getting their passport requests. I know that if we hear nothing by December 15 (right before the holidays), we will have to wait until January or the 12 month mark before we hear anything. We are January 25th applicants.
