No you don't have to request notes as PA, it won't matter as far as l know. Linking your app would help to know whether your Background check is in progress or not, l think (I have my app linked but the only thing that l got there was my medical request). I see many people call there to find out...

Hello! I assume you don't know where your app is at this moment (it could be still in Canada or your local VO). You might have been asked to send schedule A or police certificate clearance and did not get the messsage I would order notes to see what's going on with your app, because sometimes...

You get AOR2 when your file is transferred to your VO for further processing (after Sponsor Approval) It usually is an email from Mississauga VO saying that it has been transfered or a line on PA's Ecas saying: "we started processing your application on XX (date)" Some people get them both or...

Usually the sponsor gets an email regarding file transfer

It means that they are processing your BGC Good news

I agree! The thing is people should watch the spreadsheets and see the average for their visa office. What we say here are just guesses. Also, even at the same VOs there are variations in time for the same thing since each application is unique! Anyway, let's hope it goes fast for everyone :)

Hi! Just wanted to share my personal experience: I've crossed the border 3 times with a visitor visa and have never had a problem! This last time l came, l was already married, with my sponsorship in process (5 months) l had nothing that indicate my return to my home country: no ticket, job...

Here is a link from this forum that shows step by step on how to apply to get your notes http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-notes.347059/page-2

I think you can apply to get notes if you are in Canada or you sponsor can do that for you but he/she would have to be in Canada to do that. Summarazing, who ordes it have to be in Canada

I have never heard that we have to carry the credit card with us while traveling. It might depend on the airline but l have traveled plenty of times when my husband used his credit card to pay for my ticket and l didn't have it on me and it was no problem. Also, no! You don't need visa info to...

Apparently yes! I will send my passport to Ottawa once they ask for it and then, after l get it back, I have to cross the border! So my plan is to go to the USA and then come back, since l have a visa :)

Hi! I don't know if it will help but l came to Canada to live with my husband until my process is done. I did not have a job in my home country and cannot work here either. I don't think it should be a problem.. there are many people in the same boat so it is kind a of a common thing to do...

Yes! You should notify your visa office by email or webform! One you get PPR it gives you the option to send it to your VO or to Mississauga ! At least that's what I know from people who have done it! My visa office is São Paulo and I know it works that way! I'm also visiting my sponsor and...

Hey I was just wondering, I submitted my PCC with the schedule A (without request, they had only asked for schedule a ) in April. But now they asked for my pcc again and my BGC started (July 24th). I emailed it to them right way. Does anyone know how long it takes for the bgc to finish and to...
