From what I've observed in various forums, LVO response time varies for different streams. I know of a “FSW Backlog Reduction Pilot” nominee (same stream as mine) whose application reached CIO at end of October and LVO already sent MR last week. In response to a CSE, they responded that they are...

Actually, I haven't applied for WP yet since I feel that PR may be processed in nearly the same amount of time [Islamabad takes 4 to 9 months for WP(as per CIC website) whereas London CHC seems to be moving quickly]. Progress in Rafiariz's case seems to corroborate that. Other reason is that I...

I recently applied for a new passport which hasn't arrived yet so I checked with Islamabad embassy about passport submission. They said I could submit my old passport (cancelled) now and resubmit new one once its ready and they will request it.

Great, thanks.

Would appreciate if anyone can weigh in on my earlier query mentioned in 2nd part of my post above. Thanks in advance :)

Mine took around 2 months and based on average times, you should get it in the 1st week of Feb. I hope your other queries were answered sufficiently by kia99.

I received AOR from CIO yesterday. Please update tracking sheet (Payment realized on 7 Dec 2012). Thanks and wish everyone else good luck. Also, can anyone clarify about the next stage and expected time? Is it AOR from VO or MR? I still need to submit my UK PCC so want to know when I should do...

Thanks Sarayu. I see a number of people from October who still haven't received MR. 1-2 weeks looks true for many cases however it looks like all of them have applied from within Canada so it may be different from others. I may be wrong though.

I just received AOR from CIO :). I was literally refreshing my inbox for the past 30 mins as I was expecting to receive it today. Please update tracking sheet (Payment realized on 7 Dec 2012). Thanks and wish everyone else good luck. Also, can anyone clarify about the next stage and expected...

Not sure about AOR since am waiting for it as well. I did however add "@cic.gc.ca" and "@international.gc.ca" to my safe senders list so CIC emails dont land in spam folder. It would be helpful if someone who has received AOR could confirm these email addresses. Thanks.

I had a confusion about this stage too. Is this 2nd AOR also called "Additional Documents Request" as I've seen this term being used on other PNP threads when the VO gives applicants 60 days to submit some documents?

My application was received at CIO on November 9th. Seeing the tracking sheet, only Nov 1st and 2nd candidates have received AORs so far. Based on that, I think our AOR should arrive next week or the one after that max. I would start getting worried after that :) P.S. Please add me to the...

Thanks Andrew.

Re: All Pakistani PNP Applicants submitted file @ CIO in 2012 Thanks for the detailed reply, very helpful.

Salam Alekum everyone, I was recently nominated under “FSW Backlog Reduction Pilot” by Ontario and have applied for PR to CIO, Nova Scotia in November. I had a couple of questions for our more experienced forum member and would appreciate clarification: - I've been confused by different...

Am undecided too due to the same reason.

Same here. I am still undecided as well. OWP processing time from Pakistan may vary from 16 weeks (as per CHC Islamabad website) up to 9 months (as per CIC website). Whereas I've read on some other forums here that PR applications at CHC London are being processed quickly (as early as 10 months)...

Hi everyone, I received my support letter yesterday as well :). However, I share the concerns mentioned by Mariam above and others earlier. With people starting to receive AORs soon, difference in benefits associated with PR vs. WP and possible difficulty in handling PR...

I got mine made from Wall Street and most money changers (Western Union, Dollar East) will be able to get one for you. I tried regular banks but they don't issue bank draft in CAD unless you maintain a foreign currency account with them. Hope this helps. -Fahad
