Unfortunately she's not visa-exempt, passport is Russian.

Thanks for all the input, all that sounds really scary. When you say "a week from getting the COPR", is that a week from getting the COPR letter or a week from physically getting the COPR paperwork/visa glued into the passport?

Thanks - so it seems based on your answer like they give you at least 60 days (from beginning of May to beginning of July in your case). Have others here experienced the same thing? Did anyone get less than 60 days from getting the COPR letter to the visa expiry date?

Hello, I know that when a PR visa is issued for family-class sponsorship, it's usually valid until 1 year since the last medical test, but if it gets "too close" to the 1-year medical anniversary they'll ask you to do a 2nd medical test. My question is, how close is "too close"? For example, if...

In my case Warsaw has always used email for all communications so far

Thanks! Do you know whether she'd need a US visitor visa to do the processing at the US border, or can she do that without technically attempting to enter the US?

I am sponsoring my wife via the outland process (her file is being processed by the Warsaw office) - we applied in September 2014. Some time ago, she came into Canada to visit me on a TRV (visitor visa) - she's here now and she's allowed to stay here for 6 months. As far as I can tell by looking...

Thanks mcbeth! I'm gonna bug you with another question though... It says "VISA ISSUED: Waiting" on your profile, so I assume you don't have the physical visa yet. So how do you know the dates on your COPR? Do they send the dates in email? When do they send them - when they ask for the physical...

A question to all of you who recently got COPR / PR Visas from Warsaw: Did the Warsaw office extend the validity of the visa past the 1-year validity of the medical test? (I know they have the option to extend by up to 1 year). Or was the PR visa issued strictly up to the 1-year medical test...

I got an AOR from Warsaw on Nov. 17 (right after sponsor approval), and we got a request for my wife's scanned passport yesterday (Apr 14). As for compressing 46 pages into 9MB - I just went through this, hopefully my "recipe" will help: - Scan all pages at 200dpi (each page into a separate...

We got an AOR from the overseas visa office today (not to be confused with an AOR from Mississauga which is a completely different thing), by email, a couple of weeks after the SA. I don't know if everybody gets it (maybe not all visa offices send it out), there isn't even a place for it on the...

I checked my physical mailbox today (which I don't do every day) and had an SA letter waiting for me there! It's dated Oct. 29, which is what I put in the spreadsheet (although it's not letting me change the color for my entire row for some reason). It's strange that they didn't use email, but...

@freshman: Based on the part highlighted above, I think you're right, your application is being processed as Inland for some reason @lleahdoll: I looked again at the AOR text you pasted earlier, and it also has the "in Canada" bit, which again I think means inland. So both of you may want to...

@lleahdoll - Are you doing an Inland or Outland application? You have Ottawa listed as your visa office, and you got an AOR while many others are just getting SA without an AOR, which makes me think that you may be on a different process... The waiting times for sponsor approval for Inland...

@lleahdoll: Thanks! And do they give you some sort of file number / application number with the letter?

For all you folks who got your AOR *separately* from your SA: How did you get the AOR (email? regular mail?) What does it look like? (Do you mind posting the text?)
