Hello all,

Need your input on my current situation.

I was asked to submit sch A and police certificate for my spouse on AUG 30th (when I linked my account) and they asked me submit them by oct 7 (which I did) but when I log in to my online account it still says your action is required beside my current application??

Also, this is how my account status detail look like -

Application status We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results If you need a medical exam, a message with instructions will be sent to you.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

I was never asked to submit a medical report and I have successfully received AOR2 which states I am eligible to sponsor my spouse and the file got transferred to Singapore Visa Office. Then how come in the details it says they are still reviewing my eligibility.

I know the process is different for everybody but my details staying the same puts some concern in my mind.

We almost got the same situation, it’s just that they didn’t ask for the PCC they just forwarded the file to local visa for further processing. That’s why I guest that we are too far behind from others.

 

[Lala12345]

It’s not mandatory! Only the PDOS that you need to attend!

Thanks. I thought so. It looks like they cover the same thing as PDOS but more in depth.

Hey there i think we are on the same page
But don't freakout about that "your action is required" cause it is like that almost for everyone. I was also worried at first and asked fellow applicants on the forum but it is like a bug on the system and everyone say "me too" and also my account status detail is exactly like you. That makes us best friends let us update when ever there is a change.

But i have one question what is AOR2? i just got one email at first with UCI number and application number then my sponsor(my spouse) got one to grant sponsor eligibility, but not anything else. can you tell me the content of AOR2?

Here are my details

Hey shabahat89 in my case it was also like that for few weeks, then changed to " Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check" after almost two weeks.

I like the positive vibes you are spreading here - "my account status detail is exactly like you. That makes us best friends let us update when ever there is a change" - yes, this blog is really good and most of us will talk about all the positive and negative updates they get.

To answer your question - I referred the sponsor eligibility as AOR2.

O thanks about the compliment
btw from what i see on spreadsheets, AOR2 is something different. I was looking on the forum after i ask you and i found out that it is an email send from your VO which talks about proof of payment and submission of police certificate if not already submitted. so you need to double check.

i found two interesting spreadsheets and already add mine, so you too can do that on the first one. And can find sample of what AOR2 and other correspondences from the VO will look like on the second one spreadsheet.
here are both the links.

Incorrect. In this forum, AOR2 refers to acknowledge of receipt 2, also known as a line on ecas saying "we started processing your application on...". From this moment, the local VO starts working on the application. That is AOR2.

UCI <XXXXXXXX(XX)>

Email- <PA EMAIL ADDRESS>



Dear <PA FIRSTNAME> <PA LASTNAME>


We have received your application for permanent residence in Canada and have created a file with the file number indicated above. Please quote this file number in all future correspondence with our office.

In order to expedite the processing of your application, we are requesting that you provide the following as soon as possible:

1. Proof of payment of your Right of Permanent Resident Fee (landing fee) to our office in Mississauga or by your sponsor in Canada, if not already paid. Note: dependent children are not required to pay the Right of Permanent Resident Fee.

2. Submission of police clearance certificates for you and all dependent family members who are 18 years or older, for time spent in any country for a period of 6 months or more, if not already submitted. Note: If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that country.

IF YOU ARE A NATIONAL OF AFGHANISTAN:

· All males aged 15 and above and all females aged 18 and above must complete supplementary information forms. You and your dependents must complete these forms whether or not they are accompanying you to Canada. Please write your file number on every page of the form. The form can be found at page 22 of the following link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3911e.pdf

PLEASE RETURN A COPY OF THIS LETTER WITH THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS. This request is not a guarantee of visa issuance. If any other documents have been requested you must also comply with that request. Failure to comply with the request may result in the refusal of your application.

NOTE: You MUST inform our office of any change in your mailing address, a change in your marital and/or family status, or other information relevant to your application. Due to our operational constraints we will not be able to acknowledge receipt of the new information, but it will be noted on your file. You may also visit our websites: www.cic.gc.ca or www.india.gc.ca should you require more information on the processing of your application.


Planning ahead

If your application is approved, you will be encouraged to obtain free pre-arrival services funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). A variety of online services and in-person sessions will be available to you, your spouse and your dependants once your application is approved. These services will help you understand life in Canada, employment and how to access other free settlement services once you arrive.

To learn more about these free pre-arrival services that you will be able to access before you leave, please visit the IRCC website. Please note that in order to access these services, you must demonstrate to the service provider that you have been successful in your permanent resident application. Therefore, you should wait until you receive a positive eligibility decision or receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) prior to requesting these services.

As you may know, Canada is a bilingual country where both French and English are spoken. If you are interested in living in French, you can get information about Francophone life across Canada by visiting: Canada.ca/francoimmigration.


You are encouraged to take advantage of free IRCC resources available online. Welcome to Canada, the official handbook to help permanent residents prepare to come and settle in Canada, is available at cic.gc.ca/publications. You will also find the videos entitled “Before You Arrive in Canada” and “Your First Two Weeks in Canada” on the IRCC YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/CitImmCanada , which provide key information you need to consider before coming to Canada and just after you arrive. The Living in Canada tool, which provides you with a personalised settlement plan and identifies the closest Immigrant-Serving Organization offering the services you need, is available at http://www.cic.gc.ca/lctvac/English/index.

We also encourage you to visit our website Prepare for life in Canada where you can find additional helpful resources.

The following organizations offer free pre-arrival services, either online or in your geographic area.

Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP) www.newcomersuccess.ca

India2Canada www.abbotsfordcommunityservices.com/programs

PrepCan www.prepcan.ca

S.U.C.C.E.S.S. www.aeipsuccess.ca and www.successbc.ca

If you have applied for immigration to Canada through Immigration-Québec your integration journey will be supported by the Government of Québec. Québec bound immigrants may also find some useful integration information in this Guide for Successful Integration.

Please be aware that being eligible for, or actually participating in an orientation session, is not a guarantee or an indicator that your immigration application will ultimately be successful or that you will receive an immigrant visa.

The purpose of pre-arrival services is to help potential immigrants take early action to prepare for their new lives in Canada. Such pre-arrival services are expected to facilitate faster and more efficient economic and social integration of newcomers to Canada by effectively addressing needs earlier in the integration continuum and improving linkages between pre-arrival and domestic (in-Canada) services.

The organizations listed above provide a range of in-person and/or online services. More information about the services available and how to register can be found on their websites.

Pre-arrival services and sessions are very popular and space may be limited. We encourage you to explore the websites and register early.


Sincerely,
Immigration Section
