Just got the Bio request! one day after AOR

Did you get the request through your online account or from sponsor or PA email?

Did you get the request through your online account or from sponsor or PA email?

I got an email says: You have a new message in your account for application: FXXXXXXXX

then I checked my account and there was a request there

QUESTION:

What is in AOR2?

I received an email that our file was transferred to VO Office. Is that AOR2 or is AOR2 different?


Thanks

The consensus around here is that what you received is not the AOR2, it's the transfer notification. AOR2 is when the VO itself emails you to confirm it has now received your application. Ideally you receive this email, but as we have seen, a lot of VOs neglect to send it for whatever reason. In that case, people usually go by line 2 on eCAS (i.e. whenever it says "we started working on your application" in the PA side) as essentially AOR2.

Good day all, Please i need idea on my situation, I am applying as married but my wife is in the uk applying for indefinite leave to remain since 2013. I am including her as an un-accompanying spouse . I want to know if her overstaying in the uk and have been applying for indefinite leave to remain with her appealing and presently applying again. will it be a problem to my express entry application? lastly she is presently pregnant and also reason for not going with me

I would suggest you start a new thread for your question in the main forum. It's a highly specific situation, and I imagine you'll have a better chance of getting useful information if you post there instead of here on the monthly threads where it will get buried quickly. Good luck to you!

My file is transferred to visa office at cpc Mississauga. Good thing or bad ??

 

[Mr.January]

Hello guys, hope all of you and members of your family are well. Just got email that our application is forwarded to visa office in (*****) for further processing.
What this means?? They forwarded file to another country, not the country where PA live. Can someone explain to me in layman's terms?
Thank you

CPC-Mississauga tends to process faster than other VO. So most likely it's a good news

 

[Mr.January]

I didn't get Medical Request or Biometrics. But they forwarded the application.

Just got SA yesterday

What is the deciding factor behind File getting transferred to VO vs CPC-Mississauga? Inland/Outland thing?

Yes when they decided the sponsor is eligible for this application, your case will be transferred to a Local Visa office to further process your case. In some cases they send your case to another country. eg. They tend to send Middle eastern applicants to London Visa Office.

I've noticed the order of these things beyond AOR1 can vary. good that your file is moving along imo.. the updates may arrive along the way.

Readers, feel free to correct me

Guys, is it odd that on the PAs ECAS it shows this:
1. We received your application...
2. We sent you medical instructions...
3. Medical results have been received.

On GCKey is says we passed medical and background check is going on. We also got the transfer email. Is what is shown on ECAS a concern or something as it doesn't say they started working in our application.

Thanks in advance! x

Recently most of applicants from India get transferred to CPC-Mississauga, probably just because NDVO is swamped. Applicants from visa exempt countries, or applicants who are residing in Canada usually can be transferred to CPC-M as well.

Inland applications are all keeping in CPC-M.

Congrats on your SA!

They don't update much on ECAS and when it says you passed medical exam on gckey it means you passed lol! Nothing to be worried about!

QUESTION:

Thanks

AOR2 email starts with "This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2018/05/07."

Lots of VO no longer sending AOR2 emails these days, so don't be surprised if they stay quiet for 2 month.

Here is another link I think can answer your question as well!
