Hi everyone. Got up this morning to "we started processing ******* PR application on January 25th, 2016 on ECAS. Sounds like something is happening

Congrats to your 3rd line.

oohhh I am hoping that the VO soon gets the file and puts it into the "processing mode" ....like I said waiting for this is like waiting for a seasons finale..LOL..

I hear you, waiting for something like this is like an ultimate torture of your life.

Congrats! I was looking at another spreadsheet, looks like from aor2 to PR granted from HK VO varies from 3-9 months, but a few months ago I checked the cic website, it said the HK VO roughly requires 11 months to process, hopefully it wouldn't take that long for us.

Humm maybe the slow ones were not on that spreadsheet? Finger crossed for our applications!

Still no AOR here. Have we heard from the three remaining Nov peeps without AOR recently?

11 months is reasonable.

The moment I saw CIC put a single 17 months of processing time on the new website, I knew they were just lumping up all the VO times by average(some VO takes 20-ish months as I remember)...

So you are also applying from HK? We can compare the timeline in the future ;D

CIC shows a good consistency till now...

I got ECAS status 'In process' on 24th(yes, Sunday), the second line 'Medical received' on 25th, and the third line 'Start to process on 25th' on 26th...and the second line and third line swap the order...

Hi stanstan, I am processed through HK VO, since our progress and timeline is the same, we can probably get feed back from one another. Not sure if the destination city for landing would matter, I am from Toronto anyway.

Yes pls keep more Aor, sa, 3rd line rolling for all of the Nov applicants

Who knows, but I had already prepared for the worst.

Honestly, I don't believe anything posted on CIC's website for Family Class processing times. Especially with the VO's...it just seemed way off from what everyone was actually reporting.

On their website you were able to get more specific data about the number of applicants and the time its took to process 20, 50 and 80% of those applications.

On the flip side to this forum you must remember that people posting here make up a very small amount of the actual applications through that VO. For example, for the Sydney office, in one year they got around 350-400 family class applications, but there was probably 15-20 people who shared their timeline on here during that same year.
