I looked for such topic but couldnt find any, So i am starting this timeline for Paris Office.

going through applications since December 2013, not many (from spreadsheets) applications go to Paris or at least not many of those who submit their application to Paris do join the forum (compared to other VO)

I pulled out the applicants information from outland spreadsheets of ( July, June, May, April, and March) and ill continue to update the Paris VO spreadsheet from other spreadsheets (your help is welcomed :D ).

Paris Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoVYm58QfCK9dExOc3dvWHR5eGFkT0hycFVkc1VlaWc&usp=sharing

I'm a June applicant! I was disappointed to see that there haven't been too many applicants on here going through Paris, it's kind of hard to know what their average timeline is.

Best of luck everyone!

i don't think it's that there aren't too many applicants (although it is possible the amount of apps is low), i think it's the fact that back in the spring, paris was approving applicants very quickly. there is an outland thread that seems to have stopped posting back in april. it was pretty common in april and may for paris applicants to get approved in 3 months. this trend seems to have changed.

Hi everyone, i'm a June applicant Family Class Sponsorship.
3 June 2014 application revived, med's done 15 of May 2014, 29 July SA received and file transfer to Paris ( since we live in Spain that is our VO)
On 7 of August we received an email from Paris saying this :

Dear Applicant:
We are pleased to inform you that the processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is nearly complete.
- please complete and return the attached form by Email.
Yours truly,

CANADIAN EMBASSY
IMMIGRATION SECTION
35 AVENUE MONTAIGNE
75008 PARIS
FRANCE


The form is IMM5562
I send it several times since their mailbox was to full to receive any message, finally i could send it and i send it thru normal mail so i can be shore that it gets there and they don't loose it.
We didn't got any response back and the Ecas is saying Application Received ( medicals received ).
I hope VO Paris is fast and we get Decision Made sometime soon.
I just thought to share this with you.
Good luck everyone .

Usually the 2nd AOR comes a few days before Medicals Received.
Though I believe the first office views the medical, nothing is posted until the 2nd office receives it. (Please correct me if I am wrong, folks!)

Some VOs don't always give an AOR, but it is often posted within 2-3 weeks after the first AOR/Sponsorship approval if you're going to hear about it.

I did not get AOR until I requested it. It would be the VO....If I recall good, "medicals received" popped up a week or two after they approved me for sponsorship.


withhardshipcomesease said:
Did anyone else get AOR from Paris? I haven't heard anything from them yet ... I wonder if "medicals received" is done in Mississauga or the VO?

Paris office is extremely efficient and very fast. One of the best offices of CIC.

Even our parental sponsorship was quick at Paris, eventhough website stated 51 months!!

Whoever has their application processed by Paris is very lucky

congrats to everybody who had a good experience with the Paris office. As for us, we had an interview on june 20th and have not heard nothing till now. 3 days ago i send a case specific enquiry because this waiting is was so hard and 2 days ago they send us the refusal letter. that is over 3 month after the interview. I wonder how much longer would they take if i did not send the enquiry.
