Yes they send an initial e-mail with your UCI on it - then you are advised to link your application to the online GC key.
Don't forget to check your spam mailbox .
OK. But in my case, I was only given temporary file number which was stated can't be used on any online link. Pls if its possible to link my application to online GC KEY, how do I go about it. Thanks

nope, unfortunately you can't link your app with temp file number. You have to wait for permanent AOR. I've waited almost two years.

Score is 382. Just checked again. We have excellent IELTS results, only I have a masters degree (not my spouse), and we are both over 45. So self employed is the likeliest way to get in for us. And even there, we may be too old by the time they get to our application,LOL.
Don't think about age. So far as you guys will be less than 55 by the time you get in, everything will be fine.

Brother, thank you for posting your timeline here.
Would you please tell me

1. What is your job code?
2. For which province/place of Canada you have showed interest to stay?
3. From which country you applied?
4. Have you shown proof of funds? (If yes then How much?)
5. Did you submit a basic business plan (self employment strategy)?

I'll start!

I have JUST started my process. I have been a self-employed wedding, commercial, and event photographer in the States for 12 years. We put out retainer down with an immigration lawyer (w/ Campbell & Cohen) last week and sent her a bunch of preliminary information so she could tell us if we are good candidates or not.

At this point, I am the primary applicant. My points are roughly 93. I'm hoping we are given the green light to apply for real very soon. I know I'm gonna have to summon my patience with the process, especially with the virus situation.

Anyone else here initially applied in 2020 or planning to?

Have you got world class or national class awords before application? Is the award the must have in self employed visa program?

This is just so frustrating! Have you tried getting GCMS notes? I tried last December but it's been 5 months and nothing from them. So I requested for another one again last week.
Minister Fraser says processing standards could return to normal by end of calendar year!!
"could, may, might, perhaps" :mad: our lives are running out and they don't really care.
I'm afraid after all this waiting they refuse my application. I started to think of withdrawal and go on with my life

Thank you for sharing! You've given us hope. I applied in December 2020 so I expect my progress to be a little later than yours. But it's so heartening to see things moving again for a 2020 FSE application. I expect it won't be long now. Reviewing Eligibility or RE is the stage shortly before approval. It could take weeks or up to several more months up to your deadline in October.

Good news! When did they request your medicals? I see when they were passed. But it looks like the same day as your AOR….??

We applied in November 2020 so we’re about 6 months behind you and hopefully we’ll get an AOR+ in August/September.
Waiting for what feels like forever!
