Good morning guys,

We would like to know what number we could call to get any information about our application from outside Canada.

App received on March 7th no transfer yet. We were expecting to wait until November but I started noticing people in the March group have been transferred to Mexico ( March 19th, March 22nd) and we have not heard anything yet. I know everyone's case is different but I think we can all understand the stress we are under.

We know we are still within time frame and don't want to be annoying but we just want to try, at least to ease our nerves a bit. Maybe see that things are on track.

If you have the number or email where I could get in touch with someone please share it. Also I am the sponsor, would the PA have to call or can I ask on his behalf?

1st not ALL cases will be sent to VO for doing the BGC , mine isn't transferred yet from february19th ! so we could be in the lucky ones.. or not

2nd Sydney can decide to do the whole process in Nova scotia also if Vo is too busy or any reason.
(not necessary according to them thats why 1st VO is " Centralized intake and processing office at Sydney")

That said, if your destination is Quebec... you are like me,.. here for a long ride as the quota is exceeded since June ... so no more Visa issued for Destination to Quebec until January.

And we are NOT even sure to enter in the 2020's wave as a long list are already waiting from june to december 2018....


the only way to get in contact with IRCC outside Canada is the Webform...

hi everyone I first want to say that please no judgment.. today I received my transfer to Mexico letter. the problem is that I am nearing my decision to withdrawal my husbands application. We have been having a hard time with our relationship and I don't think it's best to continue with the application as at this point I don't see how we can repair things right now. I just want to get an idea how long until Mexico actually starts processing and I would be able to get my full fees refunded minus the $75. appreciate the feedback. This decision does not come easy for me.

Awe I’m so sorry to hear this , and I imagine the decision has not been easy :(
You can call the call center and ask how to withdrawal or I think you send a detailed letter via webform with file number , uci etc.
Again I’m really sorry and sending strength to you

So sorry to hear that. Wishing you all the best. Having been through a sponsorship process prior to the one I am in now, I support your decision. Good that you are following your gut.

When has everyone requested their notes? I'm at almost 10 months, should I request them now or wait till my 1 year mark?
I requested ours just about a week after 8 full months but haven't received anything yet. However, did get an email saying they transferred our file to Mexico VO on Oct. 3/19 about three weeks later (9 months from receipt in Sydney). Now just more waiting until we hear something else. At least we know it's still moving!!

My opinion ... I'd ask for them now because it takes at least a month and possibly 6 weeks to get them now since there are so many requests for the notes. Also, in case it's buried somewhere or lost, :eek::oops: when they go to do the notes they might find it and keep it moving! Just my thoughts. :)

Our application was received on Jan 4th/19 and we only received our email transferring it to Mexico VO on Oct 3/19. AOR2 may take awhile too according to what others have experienced.

Our Jan. 2019 spreadsheet is filled with 4 and 5 month completions but there are those who have to go through the Mexico VO and it appears to take a lot longer! I understand Mexico and London VOs are the busiest and slowest in the world ... lucky us!!

As you say, everyone is different, but I don't think you need to panic ... AND as others have said there is no number to phone in Mexico you can only use the webform to email them. Hang in there ...
