From what others have said, I think we have gotten our AOR2. Neither my wife or I have RX'd an Email from CIC, but the website status says: Permanent Residence We received your application for permanent residence on September 29, 2015. We started processing your application on...

Only the person emigrating requires a medical since they will be coming into Canada from a different country.

Thank you for the information. It sounds like you work in the cellphone industry. Do you work on cellphones or the towers or something? 8)

I got my SA today. Does that count? ;D

You are supposed to advise CIC of important status changes. A new child would I think be about the most important status change there is, so yes, you should let them know. And congratulations. :D

So the main/common GSM network is what we refer to as 2G ? My cellphone here uses LTE I think, so that means it is 4G ? The phone my wife wants to buy (Samsung Galaxy J7) specs say: 2G GSM - GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900 3G UMTS - B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900) 4G FDD LTE -...

" Quad band is a device feature that supports four different frequency bands used in communication: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1,800 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In the context of mobile phones, a quad band feature gives the user wider roaming capabilities. A quad band phone running on the global system for...

I wouldn't be concerned if I were you. You've got your SA and the file has been transferred. The important thing has happened. A database not being updated in a timely fashion isn't important.

If you mean has anyone that applied in the last week of September received their AOR, yes I have.

Has anyone been able to bring their cellphone from a cellular network in Asia (in this case the Philippines) and have it work here? Even if the cellphone is unlocked, are not the cellular frequencies that are used different there than here?

You chose your representative. They should be keeping you up to date and any questions should be directed to them. ;) If they aren't doing their job, at least now you have your UCI# you can check the website for yourself. :)

Re: Syrian refugees coming to Canada So apparently the new govt. plan is that 900 refugees per day will start arriving here December 1st. A CIC rep. said to local farmers here that applications for foreign worker visas would be delayed due to personnel being needed to process the refugees...

Wife and I are very happy. Finally got AOR Email! :D ;D :D I think I am the last of the September applicants here, so everyone should now have their AOR and many already have their SA. Is there anyone that applied in September but is still waiting?

Where does CIC say we're supposed to get our AOR within a month? First I've heard of this. Which people? I don't recall anyone, let alone multiple people, getting SA in less than two weeks. From what I've seen six weeks for AOR and two months for SA seems to be typical.

I think your paperwork will be forwarded to the foreign embassy - London? in your case - that will do the main processing.

Update / correction: I asked my wife for more details about her co-worker. Turns out there was a misunderstanding. The few weeks was only a portion of the process (expected to take a few months) NOT the entire process (in Manila).

I heard that CIC is saying that in order to process 25,000 Syrian refugees before the end of the year all other immigration paperwork is being put on hold. :( Farmers are not able to get new foreign workers or even renewals of work visas for workers that are already here. Has anyone else...

If they don't like Finland, they won't like Canada. 8)

Walang anuman ;D

I know the 17 months listed on CIC website for Manila means 80% of cases are done in less than 17 months. My wife just told me that a work friend got her visa after it had been at Canadian embassy in Manila for only one month. Could it actually go that fast? It would be a great Christmas...
