The AOR is simply telling you that your documents have been accepted by the CIO for onward processing. It is checked to make sure that the application meets the 6 points MI and that you score over 67 points. If you don't qualify you don't get an AOR and your application is returned with the fee...

Pardon me, CIO.

Eligibility at CIC does not guarantee issue of a Visa. Visa Officers have a final say after a thorough verification of documents. The CIO simply ensures that a complete set of documents are being sent over to the VO so that the VO can concentrate on verification and not eligibilty. This is what...

2 Weeks? Clearly the application tracker indicates that the shortest time period for receiving the AOR is 93 days. Thats more than 2 weeks. There is nothing like PER in CIC vocabulary. PER was created on this forum to give a positive tilt to the process and to encourage forum members. The VO...

Calling it PER is certainly confusing many. It is actually an AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt). This has nothing to do with eligibilty rather it is issued after completeness to indicate that CIC has received your application. They are simply acknowledging receipt. The only problem is that CIC...

I'm sorry Wayne but these are the criteria by which CIC process applications. I've read them myself. It has little to do with what any of us agree with or not. These are also the points, including precedence, on which lawyers make a case for a refused application. Non of us have superior...

Guys, today might be one of those days when CIC falls silent. There is a massive storm on the way today on the East Coast of Canada. Hopefully it won't last for more than a day.

I hope we hear something positive from Rina this week.

Applications have been sent to the VOs but won't be acknowledged until they are ready to process. The VOs will do detailed checks where it is needed and will request more information if required. In most cases, they will only request medicals. When depends on backlog and priority applications.

They actually review applications before the issue of AORs. They are probably into the review of December applications by now. I believe the lack AORs last week was due to staff shortage brought upon by the weather. They probably directed their staff to focus on reviews and only began to issue...

I don't think Canada will accept any passport that is not biometric. Western nations have all changed their systems and without the biometric details they can not be sure who you are.

I don't know why anybody should be angry if some people choose to change their minds about settling in Canada. Having been to Canada, I wonder how many people on this forum would still be interested in staying there after arriving. Many people on this forum have moved from their home countries...

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You don't have to lose hope. I will advise that you get a good lawyer to have a look at your submission and see if there is a way out. Especially f your claim to a relation in Canada has been ignored. I also suspect that the reason why your AOR and some...

Send them along with your IELTS and write a cover letter explaining your unique circumstances. Regards

It is possible but not before you receive your PER except they request them from you. Since you have been requested to submit your ielts, i believe you can include the other stuff. I'm a bit confused. I believe your certificates and transcripts are required for eligibility review. why did you...

Don't panic. The CIC is not as harsh as many assume here. The reason they are doing this scheme is in order to attract immigrants not to turn them back. Be sure that your file has been positively assessed. The only thing left is the IELTS so go do it, submit then await your VISA. The instruction...

Probably the weather is a factor. Winter time is usually slower in that part of the world so we'll just have to be patient.

It is a sad thing when someones dreams have been shattered by not receiving their visas. I don't think they are the right to pass sly comments on. If this is such a caring forum then lets start showing it and not carry on with arrogance because we are still in the running. I hope I'm wrong if I...

Congrats to him. That's one consultant done good.

Visiting the VO will not help if I go by experience. If you are not invited to a VO, you will not be entertained. Calling them would be the best option for immediate response.
