Hi. Can someone tell me what ADR means and how do I apply for it? I see people on this forum talking about it.

I applied for my husband in February 2019, last heard in March 2020, and silence since then!
What did you hear in March? And it stands for Additonal Documents Required (ADR) you don’t apply for it they are requested from the visa office to be submitted in order to further prices the file

My husband was asked to come for an interview on March 9th and on March 13th Canada closed down everything. His application is in LVO and nth is moving there, especially interviews. Does not appear to be any alternate to the interview right now.

congrats! No one can really predict.I’m sure you are in the know as far as the backlog is concerned. Having that said, anywhere between 5-8 more months depending on the above mentioned situation and the complexity of the case. Needless to mention, your luck as well. Overall, I hope you hear the good news asasp.

Hmmmm
Your timeline (18 Jan) to September 26 for pre arrival is all due to covid during that time frame nothing was happening for anyone as everythinf shut down. However now, they sent massive ADR requests in sept/oct so it’s a matter of time to see how quickly they process it now, based on the commitment (6000/month) and all that the government made

this is true under normal circumstances. I’m Sep. 2019 applicant myself, no ADR has been requested. After the AOR2 back in July of this year, I haven’t heard anything back from IRCC. When requested an update about the file - they stated that my file is in line for an assessing officer for review. That being said, I don’t know how long would it take them to review the file, they might ask for ADR after the review is done then who knows when they are going to be sending the pre-arrival and ppr, but anything can happen and I’m hoping for the best.
2-3 months could be too short to see the results.
keep fingers crossed everyone!!!

The applicants who have crossed their one year mark, Have you guys asked about your status via webform. If yes, do they send you guys proper satisfactory answers or just end up sending the generic responses they send everyone.
Also, any August,Sept or Oct applicant who has recently ordered GCMS notes, Have they started eligibility ?
