I hope so, but I know someone whose files received on June 30 have already got pre-AOR two weeks ago. So I am curious why July applicants have to wait so long time..
Last week I sent an email to NS, they replied me that at this moment, it will take 10 months or more to reach the first stage. :( So I guess our pre-AOR won't come so soon. >:(
You don't need to submit spouse's ECA report, but you SHOULD submit his/her educational certificates. If not, you can't pass completeness check. There are examples before.
For July applicants, I'm afraid you guys have to wait at least two more weeks. As I know someones' files were received by NS on June 22 and June 30, and both of them haven't recevied pre-AOR yet.
I don't want to be rude, but in my opinion Mr.Nova Scotian was telling a lie. I sugget him to give us a screen shot about the "AOR" email he received. I don't think it's interesting to have such a joke...
Even if NS claims 15 for his work experience, he still can't met EE shrehold line, because according to FSW, only 6+ years work expereince can claim 15.
Per guide, a letter indicating three months' balance and transaction history OR a statement demonstrating access to transferable, liquid fund. It means that either of them are acceptable.
