Hi Guys,
Happy new year!!
our application was received on the first week of December and we got AOR on February 1st. We heard nothing after that. Is it normal? Or should we contact them?
Thanks

Then, I have no idea. Sorry! Haven't you applied via express entry?! As long as I know, all express entry applicants do upfront medical exams.

Could you share some detail of your application in your Signature? (Click on your username on the top right of this page --> Signature)
This could help experts like @Mr_nobody to make some useful inputs for you.

I don't think this group is only for EE applicants, but most people here are EE applicants.
I appreciate that you shared your concern in this forum. Let's see if someone here can address it.
You could also share your question with other forums:

Good Luck!

Thank you so much @aasaf.
No unfortunately, I don't have that much info about the sponsorship either. But I think the steps are similar to the EE. Eligibility, criminality, and security should be passed before the final decision. @m96 did you find your answer? We can definitely search on these forums that aasaf shared. I am sure we can find lots of info.

Thnks for your response, 40 business days? Or totally?

30- 40 working days, I think.

I applied three times for GCMS.
2 times, I received exactly after 1 months of the request (including the weekends). Once, I received 3 weeks after the request.
I also requested a CBSA note, they send me a letter after 30 days saying that they can't release it now and they need one more month. Almost 2 months has passed, but no news.
All in all, the timing varies. I remember arash had to wait like 2 months to get his notes.

@ms-nobody @aasaf
By the way guys, about BOWP and generally other types of WP, CIC works on a FIFO (First IN First Out) basis. So, there is not that many steps. The officer opens the file and either approves it or ADR or rejects it. With some exception of course.

For example, if you check this link, you can see that on March 10th, they were working on files that were received on Dec. 15th 2018. So probably now, they are working on the files that they received in early January 2019
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html

I submitted my BOWP application on Jan. 10th. I already withdrew it, but they haven't accepted my withdrawal yet. This shows that they haven't reached to Jan. 10th. I think I am gonna hear from them soon.

Sorry guys for the docs for the spouse, I can't help that much as I only applied as a single applicant. I think @aasaf is definitely a better source of information than me.

Thanks bud. Yeah, in my first set I had Dec 17 and I got a ghost update on Dec 17. In my second set I have May 1st :(
So, I am just curious that if your assignment due date is actually close to your ghost update for PPR.

Hi @INTamir, I just received my notes. Surprisingly, the due date on my file was on Feb 11!
I requested it on Feb 4, but it was created on Feb 26.

It's interesting, you received your ppr one month after the due date. there is a possibility that that due date was extended for month and the new due date was March 12th 13th when you got your ppr

Arash any news with the COPR? When is the deadline for you?

No. I've not received it yet. I track my passport every day and it lies on Ankara Embassy for 10 days right now and getting dust:). It seems that they are super slow on every stage of immigration phase from verifying documents to stamping passports:D

how about in your account? Before you receive your passport, you should see your application "approved" in your account. You can also find a counterfoil info of the COPR that they issued for you
