About 2 months. If you have applied in February, you should have already received CIO email response. However the letter by post (if there is any) takes much more time. I have applied in Feb, got email AOR in March but have not yet received any letter by post. Good Luck,

Hi, You DO NOT need to submit any Original document when initially sending your application to CIO (Sydney). However, after receiving CIO response and you initial file number, you must then send the full documents to the visa office you have been requested to. At that time you need to send all...

Hi PMM, Thanks for your response. Actually I am confused about the address since the address in the VO manual do not fully match with the one in the AOR email and with the one on the website. The disappointing thing is that non of these addresses have a postal code which is important for courier...

Hi, I wonder to what address shall we send our full docs to Damascus CHC by Courier. I think couriers do not accept P.O.Box addresses but the address provided by CIO is P.O.Box. Is there anybody who has sent his docs to Damascus via TNT/DHL or other courier services? what address have you given...

Hi, There is a fee payment item in the VO specific check list for sending the full docs. However the payment has already been made to CIO at the time of filing the application. I wonder if it is required to send a copy of money order when sending full docs to CHC or not. Please advice. Thanks,

Hi, I think they will count the cumulative work experience not just the check boxes. I doubt if it has anything to do with the NOC code. As long as you meet the basic requirement (i.e. at least 1 year experience in one of the listed 38 jobs) you will get the rest of your experience counted no...

Hi, I have translated and notarized my university degree 2 years ago. Can I send that notarized translation to the VO or do they expect the notarization not to be older than a specific time? I have heard for some documents such as marriage certificates, which maybe subject to change, they...

Yes, since copies need to be notarized. Same for university degrees even if accompanied by original transcripts. Good luck,

Hi everybody, I guess we are getting ready for ROUND 2 (i.e. sending the full docs) I have some questions regarding this round ;) unfortunately I do not have a copy of my forms sent to CIO. So I need to re-fill the forms and I am worried there maybe some minor differences in my duties and work...

Hi, I think you need to send the forms again. This is also mentioned in the email you received from CIO. Also CIC had instructed to have two copies of your application forms, one for yourself and the other to send at the second stage to VO. Anyway, I think sending forms is safer. Good luck Simon

Hi Fusasa, I didn't get your case clearly. But in a nutshell, to apply for citizen ship you must meet ALL the following conditions: - Be in Canada for at least 3 out of the last 4 years. (They only consider the last 4 years before your citizenship application.) - Be a PR for at least 2 out of...

Hi Laxmikanth, I can claim the points for second language, but the thing is that I have to wait for the results.

Hi Wilson, Thanks for your nice comment. However I have a trade-off between my points and time. I can send my documents 3 months sooner claiming 70 points or 3 months later claiming 72 points. Now what do you suggest?

Hi, Will sending the full docs for instance 80 days before the deadline, accelerate the case processing time or the VO will only start processing after the 120 days deadline? I have my 120 deadline on July, but I can send my docs in April if this would result in my file processing being started...

Hi, My question is if I send my full docs for instance 70 days before the deadline, will this accelerate my case processing time or the VO will only start processing after the 120 days deadline? Thanks,

Hi, Does VO start processing the your ONLY after the 120 days or it may start sooner if it receives the full docs? I want to know if I send my full docs for instance 70 days before the deadline, will this accelerate my case processing or not. Thanks, PS. I am still awaiting seniors advice on...

Hi, My question is about the 6-month bank account statement to be provided as part of the full docs to VO. As instructed by CIC: "If you have RECENTLY deposited a LARGE amount of money into your bank account, you must clearly explain the provenance of these funds." The question is what do they...

Barsindoo, Thanks for your quick and clear advice. :)
