@candra1- I understand. This is my 2nd time applying for a waiver and first time on e-safe. I was told the wait time was about a month so I've been quite nervous and excited for awhile now. Hopefully it works out for all of us on here soon. Good luck to everybody!!! 🙏❤️❤️🙏
E-Safe Processing Times

Waiver update:
I don't have the timeline because the client downloaded himself, but he handed it in on April 28, got it today.
Timespan: 82 days. Result: 5 year waiver
Thanks so much Rogers. You are extremely helpful. @J Rogers
@J Rogers that's awesome! A sigh of relief!
Did the client applied in ontario? I am so stressed i did mine on may 30th and still nothing. Do yoi know if we get a email once its approved or denied? Because i keep logging in and its stressful lol thank you @J Rogers
@Sophia you get an email to indicate the esafe application has a status change, usually to request more info or hopefully an approval.
Good luck,
@J Rogers that means they are still processing April applicants. I guess we are next in a couple of weeks or days.
Where you apply in Canada has no bearing on timeline. They are all processed in Virginia. Ontario waivers should not be any different than BC waivers.
This is a very small sample group to accurately project timelines. My brother had his come inside of 30 business days just a few weeks ago.
@Shawn Kelly really where did he applied it at? And what months did he applied?? Mine has been 74 days and nothing yet 😪 I did mine may 8 and nothing yet
E Safe. Biometrics at Coutts. People are wrong to assume this is a simple case of waiting your turn. Some take more time for background checks than others.
@Shawn kelly Thanks so much for letting us know of this.
It fills me lot of hope that I can get it in a reasonable amount of time.
Would you mind telling me if your brother was looking to enter US as a visitor or on a TN status?
If you look at the forum and past posts, you will see that the timeline has changed dramatically in the past few weeks.
July 1st 2021 - 5 days for a waiver
July 1 2022 - 74 days for a waiver.
July 17 2022 - 82 days for a waiver
I usually get a waiver a day on average granted, sometimes 2, and in the past 2 weeks I have seen 1 waiver granted. 82 days.
I am basing my information on tracking approx 500 waivers since May 2021, so it might be more factual than your brothers singular experience.
It is difficult to be more factual. A fact is a fact no more or no less. Fact, his was recently approved within 30 business days of submission to ARO.
Actually,. its easy. Post this from his profile. These give EXACT timelines. He can cut and paste. The problem is your giving anecdotal evidence and your using it as "proof" when if you post the actual timeline I guarantee you he got his waiver at least a month ago, or he isn't remembering the exact timeline. If you give me the EXACT date his waiver was granted (top corner) I can actually show you an example of a client with the exact same date and I bet the timeline is the same. As I said before, the files can take 5 minutes or 5 hours but they don't work on the files depending on what the contents are. They work on "the next file in the line-up".

I emailed them to see whats going on and they replied withing 10 minutes.
This is their reply
Your application is on file with the Admissibility Review Office. It is currently pending further review. Due to the individual circumstances of each waiver application, there is not a set timeframe to give as to when an application decision will be completed.
Perhaps if my brother were commenting on this forum he would. He is not. Fortunately I'm not about to run to him for this proof you seek to validate yourself. His travel waiver was approved within 30 business days of submission to ARO. I don't feel the need to bother him to validate my comments. The timelines of 80 plus days for approval are not fact, his approval represents that. Some will wait longer, some will not. None of us work with ARO and are able to comment intelligently on the work they do, how they do it and how long it takes to be completed. Anything other than direct knowledge from a representative of ARO is pure speculation.
@Sophia hi what email did you use?
