@Tang2019 @Brown_Sugar
when did you pay for Boimetric fees?

I forgot to pay the biometrics fee when I was sending in my application so I paid online and sent it about a week and a half ago.

I received the payment request on May 7 and our rep helped us pay on May 8. Still waiting for the request letter now.

If you applied in 2019 - You're within 12 months. You have nothing to complain about at this point. I know that's not what you want to hear but your attitude towards this is a bit ridiculous. My husband is Irish and we were processed at LVO. 11 months process time. Pakistanis aren't the only ones who have to wait. Visa offices are busy. It's the way it is and always have been. Any government is slow and as I'm sure you've been told, many delays are incurred on the part of your government - not LVO or Canada.

I agree. I know it's frustrating but everyone should please keep in mind that as long as our applications are processed within 12 months, it's fine. While it would be nice if they could hurry up, I will take 12 months over the ridiculously long processing times from a few years ago.

I agree ....!!! Also for March applicants it’s 10 months as of now so let’s say 10 months more to go

I just received the Bio instruction letter from my rep.

The beginning of the process - AOR1

• Complete your application and send it in.
• CPC-Sydney receives the application. This is the start date for your application, you can input it on the google tracker if you like: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gm315tmNKWoywb7PwZBiE67fUmznYQrNhYVWXPXXJBw/edit#gid=1198672673
• CPC-Sydney then sends AOR1 as a PDF letter to the sponsor's email, this contains the application number and UCI: https://imgur.com/a/DydaI
• You can now check your applications progress in ECAS using your application number. Using the Sponsor's details will show you both sides of the application's status:
  • https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

Creating a GCKEY account

• You can then create a GCKEY account, this stage is optional and letters for biometrics and medical will come to your email if you don't create an account. It is, however, strongly advised to create a GCKEY account - and the rest of this process will read as if you did create an account.
  • You can then create a GCKEY account: https://onlineservices-servicesenligne-cic.fjgc-gccf.gc.ca/mycic/gccf?lang=eng&idp=gckey&svc=/mycic/start
  • Link your application to the account via the following guide: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/january-2019-outland-application.603766/page-102#post-7667048

Sponsorship Approval

• Sponsorship approval will be sent as a PDF letter to the Sponsor's Email address. https://imgur.com/a/P0yOD
• ECAS will also show Decision Made under the Sponsor section: https://imgur.com/Cf4fZGU

CIC sends requests

• Biometrics and Medical request letters are then sent to your GCKEY account, where you can log in and download them. They can come in any order and in some instances can come after your application has been transferred: https://imgur.com/oTNo6O1
  • Your biometrics collection letter will need to be printed off and taken to your nearest VAC for processing, it's a good idea to search the forums for your local VAC to see other users experiences: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/where-to-give-biometrics.asp
  • Medical request letters need to be printed off and an appointment needs to be made with a CIC approved physician: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx
• Once the medical and biometrics are complete/passed, your account will change to show: https://imgur.com/GyMJ9BT

PA Processing

• Your application will then be transferred to your local VO, or in some instances CPC-Mississauga. CIC will send an email to the sponsor confirming which VO it has gone to. https://imgur.com/a/fjKRY
• Once the VO begins to process the application, they will send the PA an email to confirm they have receipted the application, this is known as AOR2. Not all VO's send this email, however. https://imgur.com/3KAwhoK

GCKEY Updates

• GCKEY goes through various changes during the final stages, again, this doesn't happen for everyone, unfortunately, and you may find your application show eligibility and background checks in progress from the moment you link your account. You'll see the following towards the end of the process: https://imgur.com/XRQq3yO
• This is the slowest part of the entire process as background and eligibility checks can take a long time to kick in. Some people get ghost updates on GCKEY as the application is worked on. This is shown when the status shows as Application/Profile Updated.

Checking ECAS

• ECAS allows you to check for updates on the application and during the final stages will show decision made under the principal applicant's section: https://imgur.com/F3yPtfD

Passport Request (PPR) & Confirmation of Permanent Residency (COPR)

• Once you've received decision made, you'll get a passport request emailed to you: https://imgur.com/a/RRL6H
• You'll send your passport to the address listed in the email, along with two pictures and the document. If you're from a visa exempt country, they usually request photocopies of your passport rather than the passport itself.
• Once this has been processed, you'll be issued with COPR: https://imgur.com/a/f79qD
• COPR will then be mailed to the address you listed in your PPR: https://imgur.com/a/gTdTl

You're then free to land with your COPR.

Hi,
Does anyone here got request for additional document for Sponsor residential address? I was asked to provide my address history since 2007. Thanks

 

[FayEmil]

We did write what is asked. Address history for Sponsor for 5 years and 10 years for PA. Just wondering how long it takes until Final Decision since they received the requested documents. Thanks

Hey please update me on ur application. My husband is also from iraq our file was received January 23rd and we got biometrics done and file transfer. If you want to keep in contact since it seems like applicants from amman visa office are very minimal so we should stick together lol. Cause i wanna see if amman is slow and annoying as they say

Hey there,
My wife did the biometrics on May 15 and file transferred to Amman in 21 and nothing after. When did you get your file transferred to Amman

 

[Bhamdan]

Hi all,
How long does it take to hear back about the biometric results? It was submitted on Erbil/ Iraq on May 15
Thanks

 

[the6ix]

Hello, what does it mean if file was transferred from Sydney to CPC-M now to PA's local VO. is this a good sign? Thank you
