If they would need more info or whatsoever, do they ask for it now or before it goes in process on ECAS? Can somebody update me on the spreadsheet?

Wow, London's really picked up the pace. Let's hope it carries on!

I had a look at the spreadsheet and the reds are finally making their way down. They always seemed so far away, but I'm feeling hope for the first time.

Congrats to everyone who's received a DM or their COPR!

Congrats! and don't worry about the landing, it's nothing to be anxious about. Bring the COPR + passport + B4 if you're importing anything. When you arrive at the immigration, they will either complete the process right there, or most likely take you to a different office. The officer will ask you a few things: are you still married? address in Canada? and go over the info on the COPR to make sure it's correct, then he will sign, and you'll do the same. Make sure he also stamps and signs your passport, as you will need the stamp on your passport to get your SIN from Service Canada. It seems like you're going back to work right away - good timing!
It will all go fine - it's normally a very easy and friendly process :)

Thank You Sweden!! I'm more anxious because I can't believe its nearly over and I just want to be walking out the arrivals gate and seeing my husband.. finally all our worries are over. Its been a tough year with the preparation and application.
I land in Ottawa at 5pm tomorrow ;D
Thank you to everyone for all the advice and support. This forum is such a god send!

Dear Korma,

What does this AOR Means in your timeline?

Hey ALL!

I hope you are all having an absolutely magical week. Of course, I come to you with a question.

Is "Medical results have been received by CIC" a standard response, or does it at all indicate what part of the second stage I/ we are in?

I am just slightly confused. I am awaiting my 2nd working holiday visa in the interim, so hopefully can start looking for work again soon!

Cheers,

David

Hello! It has been quite a magical week actually! Lots of progress. So, Medical Results Received is indeed a standard response. It's not an amazing sign, but it is good to know that the medical is all matched up with your application. Hope your working holiday comes through soon for you!

Hi Desi! So, an additional document request and submission will not show up on ECAS at all. So if they do need any they will contact you directly, and after submission they will not confirm via ECAS that they have received them. The only way to find that out is to email them!

Also, "AOR" means Acknowledgement of Receipt meaning that CIC have your application. As a rule, Mississauga gives out AOR's (usually via email), but London doesn't.

How long after getting approval would you all recommend ordering notes? I don't want to be too eager but at the same time we've just passed four months at London. I wasn't planning on inquiring until the six-month mark but now that I know doc requests don't show up on ecas, I'm antsy lol. I keep reading about miscommunication and wrong emails.

DGT gave a good explanation of it. I'm using mine in a slightly different manner to everyone else though - I'm just using it to mark when I knew London had my file. I sent them a CSE to update my address, which they did, meaning at that point I knew London had my file (and it hadn't got lost anywhere :)).

Normally people fill it out to show when Mississauga sent an AOR, I'm just weird.

Congrats! that's great to hear, and most likely it will take less than 6 weeks! THey have extended the medicals, but they just don't tell you about it - if it wasn't the case, they would have asked for a re-meds... so it's the end of the line, and interview was waived!
Thank you so much! :)
I really hope they return his passport ASAP, we have waited enough!
yeah I guess they did extend the medical and the deadline for landing will be on the visa that will be issued.
Yuppp interview was waived thankfully!
