This is why it is important to follow the checklist to a T. You can't skip anything. Sorry your app was returned. I would suggest including some email or text correspondence from the beginning of your relationship.

I'm sorry for the delayed response to this, but you do not need your application number to obtain your police certificate. You should not wait to obtain it and should be starting that process ASAP. It just needs to be obtained no earlier than six months before your application is filed.

If it helps, a couple people from 4/25 on the spreadsheet received their AOR's on Friday.

Do you mean start the process of obtaining it? It's recommended you start that process before you even submit your application so that you will have the certificate ready to submit when they request it. Depending on your country, it can take a long time to obtain.

AOR this month is taking about 4 weeks, so you probably have about another week or so to wait before you hear anything.

Sure. You CAN bring in your items tax-free when you land as a PR. OP is not talking about landing as a PR, she wants to bring her items across before she has even applied and would have to pay tax. That's what canuck_in_uk was referring to.

It is normal for both the sponsor and PA to receive an AOR email. The contents of the email will be different depending on if you are the PA or sponsor.

It's also important to note that if you include the sponsor's mailing address as the principal applicant's mailing address (with a different address for the principal applicant's residential address), you MUST include the Use of a Representative form making the sponsor the representative, or the...

Hey, I'm in the exact same situation as you (married a Canadian, was living in Buffalo) and I can assure you this is a TERRIBLE idea. Do not do this. Get rid of your apartment if you must (I actually kept mine so that I have proof of ties to the US until my application is done processing), but...

Both the actual birth certificate and the translation need to be certified copies. "In relation to immigration in Canada, the CIC defines a traditional certified copy as a copy that has been certified by any of the following professionals: Professional accountant Chiropractor Commissioner of...

Yup... you just have to wait to either receive AOR or get your app back. I've read on this forum about dozens of applicants whose applications stay "out for delivery" indefinitely :( You can just assume it was delivered because they receive so much mail at CPC, some items miss the delivery scan...

They mail you a cheque... so who knows, lol.

They're really bad about scanning the applications as delivered. My application was out for delivery on 4/26 and was not marked as delivered until 5/1.

Yes, I just received a refund for my postage. I sent my app on 4/24, guaranteed delivery date was 4/25, and it was not marked as delivered until 5/1. You have to go on the Canada Post website and file a ticket.

Anyone who is having a problem with this and is physically located in the US (or, at least can travel to the US): you can use a third party channeler to get your results in minutes. This is only an option if you are a US Citizen or Permanent Resident. You can do this even if you are currently...

What's with the entry on the April spreadsheet saying AOR was received for a 4/28 applicant? That can't be right.

My application was returned twice. The first time, I received it back 2 weeks after sending it in. The second time, I received it back almost a full month after sending it in. This was within Canada.

To be safe, I would make a photocopy for yourself and then submit the original.

It depends on the country. For the USA, for example, it needs to be the original. You can go to your country on this page and it will mention if it needs to be the original: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

I didn't see that anyone answered your question, so just in case: "The back of one (1) photograph must: bear the name and date of birth of the subject, as well as the name and complete address of the photography studio bear the date the photograph was taken the photographer may use a...
