Thank you!

This office is quick. I got AOR 2 in January and DM last week. Depends on how many different places applicant has visited, personal history etc. as this all increases the time of the background check and it is not in the office's control.

Hi, thought I'd share my timeline (we are both in South Africa) for our common-law sponsorship. FYI: So far my experience with the Pretoria VO is that they are very fast and reliable. I am really impressed. App sent to Sydney: 11 September 2018 AOR 1: 17 December 2018 Sponsor approval: 10...

Hi I know this is old but maybe you can answer me - if I dropped off my passport in person at VFS, will I also get the COPR with my passport when I go and pick it up again? Or is the copr something that is sent separately? I do not trust registered mail in my country, they usually lose things...

Hi guys, what is the last step after passport request and after I receive it back? I assume I will receive my passport in the next week or so if all goes well. Do I need to wait to do an interview before I can move to Canada? I am asking since I'd like to know when I need to give notice to my...

Hi I have a question - the landing interview, is it always in Canada? I got DM and PPR yesterday, and sent in my passport. So now I have to wait to get my passport back and to get my copr as far as I understand. Then, will I have to wait for another interview at the visa office or will I be able...

Should be soon though. CPC-M is known to be fast.

Ours was basically the same. Medical request on 27 Feb, passed medicals early in March and received PPR and DM yesterday. From what I have gathered, if you are from a country where medicals get requested after AOR2, it is usually a month after medicals have been requested before you get DM.

Hi all, So we are finally in the last stages of our application. I understand that I will not need to show proof of funds since I was sponsored, but we do have roughly 30 000 CAD saved up which is still in my South African bank account. What I'd like to know is, if we transfer the money to my...

Thank you, just hold on tight. We were expecting to only get it in about 3 months (June), which makes it easier otherwise you keep on driving yourself crazy.

Oh gosh I was wondering why it would not show days haha. My bad, thanks for fixing!

Yes my background check went into process quite early. I wonder whether they start checking it early, seeing as my entire decision making process took only 2 months it might be possible. Now I just hope and pray that COPR comes before my fiance is flying to Canada. They are flying on 15 June...

Thank you! I am still overwhelmed! I guess it will only sink in once I get my confirmation e-mail :) But so far, from what I understand, we are out of the woods.

Thanks, really hoping that it could help others in the future as it can be overwhelming when you have no clue where to start. Our application was processed in a little over 3 months from AOR1 to Decision Made for PA (today), and I like to believe that we had it organized in a way that made the...

:D My file is with a local visa office in South Africa. I am impressed with how quick they were. It is merely 2 months after AOR2. I am truly blessed.

ECAS was in process this morning, I just checked now and it says Decision Made. Please tell me this is what I think it is...I feel tears of joy coming!

I also got a pre-arrival services letter thingy, not really sure whether it means anything.

Hi all! I was requested to send my passport this morning...looks like the additional proof made the cut!

Hi all, hope you are well. This morning I received an e-mail stating that I need to send my passport to the local visa office with photos. Attached was a Passport Request Letter. Does this mean our application has been approved and that we won't be rejected? We were asked to send additional...

I apologize. What I meant, is that spouses outside of Canada have to provide a ton of proof that the sponsor will move to Canada, due to people abusing PR and just getting it to have it and not actually living in Canada. We sent 150 pages of proof just because of this reason, and got asked for...
