If you aren't in Canada, unfortunately you are completely at the mercy of the postal system and there is no real determined time frame. Stuff can get held up at the border for any number of reasons. If you know why it was being returned, you can prepare a new package instead of resubmitting the...

You are correct. Here, family members refers only to immediate family (spouse and children). Not sure about your other questions, but I am sure others here can help you.

I traveled across the border with my cat every weekend for years when I was dating my husband. It never caused me any issues. Just make sure the rabies shot is up to date and you have the certificate, in case they ask. Yes, you can get the FBI prints done now, but keep in mind they have to be...

No, if your application is returned, no application number is generated because the application was never entered into the system. That's why, when you receive your AOR with your application number, it means your application will not be returned to you. If they return your application, they...

No, there is no reason for you to be worried. The average wait time is currently about 28 weekdays. You likely have about one more week of waiting to do. :)

Well, I have my own personal angel at IRCC. My husband received a call today from the officer reviewing my application. One of the addresses on our IMM5406 form was missing a postal code. She said technically they would usually return the app, but she could see it had already been returned 3...

No, the email indicating your application number and asking you to link IS your AOR1. Don't worry :)

Your status has no impact on an outland application, especially while the application is already being processed. :) It's only the inland applications where it gets tricky.

You don't need to worry. Spouses are exempt from the excessive demand clause. That means that it doesn't matter what burden your husband's health conditions will be on the health care system. The only reason a spouse has to do the medical is to make sure they aren't bringing contagious diseases...

It's no big deal if you're visa exempt and you don't have a stamp. It just means you're allowed to stay for six months.

August 2nd applicant, still waiting for AOR... this is the fourth time I've submitted my application (it has been returned three times). First time was a mistake on my part, second and third time were CIC mistakes in sending back. If I don't get AOR this time I may just hurl myself off a cliff...

Keep in mind, there is a big difference between someone who submits an older NOA with no letter of explanation, and someone who submits a letter of explanation. Most of the time when you're reading about apps being returned due to old NOAs, it's people who submitted around tax season and there...

There are two people in the spreadsheet who have gotten their AOR. They are both August 1st applicants.
