***JULY 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS***

[itsasyn17]

My medical showed passed before we had SA, which is way before it was transferred to the VO.

 

[goldman_64]

Yes i have same question.
When do they check medical?

Thank you

My application has been forwarded to VO about 2 weeks ago, but my medical results are not passed yet!
I'm getting a bit worried, not sure if that's normal!

Hi can someone please tell me what's the difference between ECAS and MyCIC? Also when do they check the Medicals before or after VO? As far as I understood that when u do all the tests before u apply,if the doctors don't contact you for 2 weeks,the results is automatically uploaded to the system and that means everything is fine and you passed the tests.
Please explain
Thank you

Anyone from Hong Kong Visa office? Do they send AOR 2?

 

[fmlau0430]

I received my AOR2 from VO on Sept 1. My application has been forwarded to Hong Kong VO for processing and requested for any documents if not yet submitted.

1) ECAS is the old way of checking application status online. It's not very detailed, but you can use it to make address changes. MyCIC is new, just starting in July. It will show a little more detail about your application process, and show if the app has been approved (where ECAS just says Decision Made).

2) Usually after the application goes to the VO, although they'll sometimes show the medical being received and Passed on MyCIC before it goes out.

3) I think that's basically how it works for the medical. In my case, my Panel Physician told me I probably passed during a follow-up appointment with him about two weeks after my initial exam.

Ok got it,thank you for ur reply. I have a question now where u required to do a follow up ? I only did it once and then they submitted it directly. They told me if something wrong then they will contact me, but they didn't so they submitted it.
Thank you

Hi There!

Do i qualify to be a part of this group? I completed my application package and sent it via DHL to CPC mississauga. I am still waiting to recieve my AOR1 and UCI number.

 

[LanaLanski]

It takes around 20 days to get an email from CIC to confirm they received the application. Now the waiting begins

20 days? Should I be worried that I still have not received a AOR1 and its been 35 days for me. Should I do something?

Hi guys,

Anyone got any Update form VO?
Finger cross...... Badly waiting time...ha ha ha

Some people don't get AOR1, but you can always try calling them. Most don't try calling until the time they should be getting SA, I'm not sure what the average wait is for that now. Some people don't even get notified about SA. I never got notified about AOR2, nor has my ECAS been updated yet....however I can't call because I am not currently in Canada. If it was me, I'd be calling......just sayin' Good Luck

 

[cjg1987]

usually how long does it take for visa office to send AOR 2 after file transfer?

ECAS on PA side shows third line : we started processing on xxxxxx, but no AOR2 yet.

Do they send AOR2 before this ECAS update or later?

Funny you should ask...

The only reason I had a follow-up appointment was a tiny bit of blood in my UA. They scheduled me to return 8 days later for a repeat UA, and asked me to get some old ultrasound records if I didn't feel like paying for a new one (I have a very small kidney stone).

A couple days later, I went to the fair at Vermilion. Ate some "mini-donuts", and ended up in the ED with horrible pain a few hours later. Rancid oil they were cooked in caused pancreatitis. Had a new ultrasound, paid for by Alberta Health (married PR applicants can get health in AB). Kidney stone is still there, very small. Dr says that the pancreas was probably already infected, said the blood was from that. Medical was passed.

All's well that ends well?

Hi on the te SA side I have DM and on PA side it's still in Process but now I have a line that says that they sent correspondence about the receipt of my application on September 2nd, does that mean AOR2? Also it says they started processing my application on August 30th.

Yes, AOR2! ;D
