    CIC call center agents tends to say that "your application may be lost..." but please do not get alarmed by this as it appears to be a common response by them when your application is not in the system yet. Do not worry, sit tight for patiently 3 months and if you still don't receive your AOR...

    I have just received my AOR by email! :) I was quite surprised that the AOR email came at 10pm, could this mean that CIC is working extended hours? My ecas is not updated yet, but I believe it can take a few days. My application was received by CIC on Oct 31st, therefore November applicants...

    I do not think there should be any reason to worry what so ever. Some people receive AOR sooner than others, and it is not necessary it will be within the 2 month time frame. We just have to be patient and go about our daily lives, whatever has to happen will happen, nothing we can do at this...

    I don't think that should be a problem. I travelled to Australia for vacation in 2013, I had a transit in Los Angeles on my way to Australia and also on my way back to Canada. All I mentioned was my exit date from Canada and my re-entry date into Canada, my Destination (Australia) and reason...

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    If your current family size is 3 persons (you, dad, mom), then you must meet financial requirement of last 3 taxation years for 3 persons. This is regardless of the fact that your parents may be living in a different country and not with you. I had called CIC to verify this information.

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    Thank you for the response, you are correct. I called CIC this morning to confirm. They said that I have to meet LICO+30% for 4 people for the years 2011, 2012, 2013, regardless of the fact that my family size was 3 persons for those years. It seems I will now have to apply in 2017 because that...

    I have read all the posts in the discussion, but I believe the question I have has not be posed by anyone so far. I wish to sponsor my mother and father.

    I also had sent mine with Canada Post courier for the 2 business day delivery, I dropped it off at Canada Post on a Monday night, and it got delivered on Friday, so that's about 3-4 business days depending on how you look at it.

    I just wrote N/A on each and every field that did not apply to me and I had to leave blank, might be overkill, but better be safe than sorry! I submitted copies of all my pay stubs from last 4-5 years as my record of employment, that may sound like a lot of papers, but it was not because I...

    filling out form about my education

    I think you should be fine. Just attach a letter explaining your masters is an online program from an American university. You can also mention that you checked with CIC and they said a study permit is not necessary.
