Well, I'll put it this way... when we mailed our wedding invitations, it took two weeks for someone who lives 5km away from us in Toronto to receive theirs. Canada Post is unpredictable. You should have received it by now, but be patient... hopefully they're just doing their silly Canada Post...

It's vital that you follow the guide and forms that are currently listed on the CIC website. They have made lots of changes to the package over the past year. The form you're mentioning is not even in use anymore. Visit this link and answer the drop-downs according to your situation. Submit...

It's okay that there are no fingerprints. CIC only requires the results of the police check, not the fingerprints. When you log into your CIC account, there should be a request for the forms in your account when you click the "view this application" at the bottom, it will lead you to a spot to...

This year, some applications are being processed at Mississauga in their entirety. This is to help relieve some of the overload at the other VO's. You can join the other applicants here...

They automatically request Schedule A and PPC once you get your AOR. It's unrelated to the sponsor approval.

They understand that there are some times when people may not have their NOA available. That's why it says on the checklist you can provide a letter of explanation if you don't have it.

Yes, it is possible to receive AOR and then not be approved as a sponsor. They are two separate steps in the process. Only after you receive your AOR do they start the process of determining whether or not the sponsor is eligible.

We also did not have our 2016 NOA available. We applied with the 2015 NOA and included a letter of explanation explaining why 2016's is not available. We received AOR (it was fine). It's not something they would request from you later on, because the NOA is only required for the very first part...

It's possible they misunderstood the question. Now that I see your response, I get what the original question was asking, but I read it as "has anyone received AOR and not received their SA yet"

Yes, that letter is what you submit as your police certificate. :) I would recommend uploading through the MyCIC portal, rather than mailing, if you have linked your account

You won't receive an email. If you upload the Schedule A through the MyCIC portal, it will show as submitted after you click "view this application" when about 24 hours have passed after you uploaded and submitted it.

They don’t care whose perspective it is from. It says that both the PA and sponsor need to fill out the form because it asks for information about both of you and requires both of your signatures. It doesn’t matter who writes the answer to the question. You only fill out one form and you both...

Are we looking at the same spreadsheet? I followed the link and the spreadsheet is very up-to-date and well organized. Also, for August applicants, you don't have to use the update tab, you can just update right in the August tab.

Yes, you are exactly right. If you are from a visa exempt country, you will not receive any sort of visitor visa. Once you enter Canada, unless the CBSA officer states otherwise (or stamps otherwise in your passport) when you arrive, you are allowed to stay for six months. Once you hit around...

Bump? I'm hoping one of the very experienced posters might be able to provide some insight (or just tell me this is a super weird situation and I need to wait it out ;))

AOR is sent by email, not by regular mail.

Sponsor application status says DM in ECAS today. Woohoo! Hopefully SA email will be coming soon.

People from August 10th-14th are receiving their AOR right now, so it's possible that your application will be returned to you.

When you say coming from California, do you mean you are physically located in California? If so, DO NOT do the fingerprints the traditional way like you're saying (sending them off to the FBI). It takes 2-4 months. If you are in the US, you can use an approved third party channeler to get your...

If the sponsor is designated as the representative, the sponsor will receive 100% of the email communications. My husband (sponsor) received "my" AOR (inviting me to link), as well as the email intended for him. The sponsor and PA both receive an AOR email (but sometimes it glitches and only one...
