AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Where is the London office currently at? I received my AOR on the 30 June 2010...

Updates from other people would be interesting please...

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I dont think you hear anything for about 6/8 months after receiving AOR.
It would be nice if it was quicker but I dont think it will be:(

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

my aor was 14 july and i dont expect to hear until nov/dec. my status still say received by visa office. wish it would change soon....x

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I wasn't expecting anything, I just wanted a group of people with the same AOR timeline as me in the same thread, then we can keep each other informed off updates.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

We are about 1 month ahead of you on AOR and have heard nothing. Going on some of the guys timelines in the March-April AOR timeline we can expect to wait from 2 - 6 weeks before going "In Process" But who can tell with the way London seem to pick for processing! So I would suggest up to 10 weeks for June AOR's is probably a reasonable expectation to go in process.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Hi guys, count me in. My AOR was received in August. I wasn't expecting to hear until December. I still check ECAS hopefully though. Luckily I'm really busy at the moment so I'm not thinking about it too much :D

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Yep, we're early July AOR-ers, not bothered about it at the moment, nothing we can do but wait. It'll all sort itself out in the fullness of time.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I got mine at the end of August, I'm not expecting to hear anything until early next year.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Sounds good!!

Am gonna be booking a recce trip in the next few weeks (for February time)
Whoo whoo - cant wait
Don't know what areas to look at though!

What areas are you guys all hoping to go to?

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Me too AOR received end of August. I've also registered on here just out of interest:

I could kick myself that we've missed a trick with the Tesco Clubcard points and collecting Airmiles so we've just started collecting now and also collecting via the Airmiles website for online shopping. You need 8000 for a ticket to Canada... and so far I've got 70!! :lol:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

got our AOR in mid August and not expecting to hear before the end of the year, we've just put it out of our minds for the next couple of months

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

06 July for me and just plodding along not doing much about it.
I worry they might nit pick as my job is not on the revised list, but nothing I can do about it now.

Just as worried about tryting to get work there should I get PR, given the economy at the moment - hopefully better in 12 months.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Regarding locations, I'm planning on heading to Toronto. Working in the bar/restaurant/events industry. But I'm also a Graphic Designer so I have some options.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

We got our aor on 24 June - not heard anything yet! I hate waiting!!! :)

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Personally I am currently dreaming of the day I receive an AOR! Seems the post-June-26 applicants may be stuck at CIC in Canada for quite some time if they have to do eligibility reviews on all the May/June applicants first who have not received an AOR, it could easily be Christmas or beyond when our eligibility review takes place. And that's before we even GET to the visa office.

Am no longer worrying about it and accept it's going to be long delays, doesn't make it any less frustrating though! :)

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

My AOR was 13th July, and the AOR letter stated 12months for PPR. :blink:

Not expecting to hear about medicals till December/January earliest. :unsure:

And yes... i do check ECAS every Tuesday, and my status still says "received by visa office" :thumbdown:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I received my AOR at the start of July. By reading various posts on this forum at the time, I predicated my application would now have gone into processing. Of course it hasn't. Now looking at other posts from people who received their AORs earlier this year, it seems that nothing is being progressed there either.

I sent my docs to CIC back in December 2009 thinking that the entire process would be 6-12 months. How wrong was I. I've kinda just written everything off now in terms of a near future in Canada and instead concentrate on my current life here.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Hi there,

yep, join the club. I also received my AOR in July (July 20th). And like you, I also thought that the full process would take about a year. Wrong. My BUNAC visa is expiring at the end of this year and I'm still waiting on a decision about a LMO so if that doesn't come through I'll be shipping back home to wait on the PR decision, which based on the updated timelines seems that I won't know about until at least next August :(

Sending positive vibes to the Vancouver HRSDC office to approve my LMO and make it a min. 2 years. :fingerscrossed:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

like rubberduck i we got our AOR at the back end of August. we remain hopeful that the CIC will have a sudden rush of blood to the head and send out our med requests though :wub:

Cant seem to get into ECAS so assume that i must be doing something wrong when loggng in. I choose immigration number and put n my B**** number but it always says that we are not recognised.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

When we first tried to check Ecas it kept coming up that they had no record of us. We had been typing in UK but we were classed as England, maybe yours is the same:)

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

seem to have lost my link to ECAS now, DOH!
anyone got it handy?

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

no good today lins, but will try again tomorrow ;)

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I cant get it to load today either, have found it has been doing this quite alot lately:frown:
Its probably because I check it alot more than I should - even though its only supposed to be updated on a Tuesday. The temptation is just too much!!

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

that i can understand lol
i find it hard not to think about it and get myself all stressed trying to plan everything out when we havent even got a departure date. :eek:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I got into our ECAS account for the first time this morning.

our application has been received.

thanks for the tip about choosing the right country btw, I had been selecting 'United Kingdom and Colonies' before, its no wonder I couldn't get in lol.
I chose 'Wales' this morning which helped considerably!

now at least I can try and keep an eye on ECAS :eek:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

No worries:):)
Now you will be checking it all the time (far more than you should be, lol)
Hopefully you wont have too long await before you go 'in process':fingerscrossed:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

i sure hope so ;)

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Just added a signature with timeline...

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Hi digg, how long did it take from your status to go from "received" to "pending review"?

Thanks!

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

OOH :eek:

My AOR is a week after yours, so hopefully mine will be moving soon!

MS.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I'm sorry. My status is still "Received by Visa Office". Sorry to get you excited. Copy/paste error. Here's what's in eCAS for me:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Doh! :blink:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

I sense MapleSauce's crushing disappoinment.

:(

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

:frown: i just threw my Starbucks coffee all over my keyboard in dismay.. for a moment, i though that London had got it's butt in gear.


Alas, poor ECAS.... i knew him well. :sneaky:

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

We're on the same timeline as you... sitting here patiently waiting, nothing else we can do.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
 

Seems CIC have updated their application processing times page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/informa...killed-fed.asp (page updated: 2010-10-25). For London it says 13 months from receiving application to finalisation.
