    Additional documents requirement. CIC account upload, email or papers?

    Hiya - for us it was a technical issue. They asked for a statutory declaration of common-law, and when we went to upload this there was a second field for a replacement document titled, "Observations". We sent a message to the Web Form and they told us it was a technical issue and confirmed...

    I had my sister call for me as I'm not in Canada so they couldn't give her specifics, but they did indicate that it may be a technical error ... here's hoping, because otherwise I have no idea what to upload! We've launched a tech enquiry so hopefully they'll let us know soon! Thanks for...

    Does anybody know what the 'Observations' document is? We've had no request for this, but there is a space to upload this on our GCKey and it says it's required but we don't know what it is... Any thoughts out there please?

    Hi all, We've been asked to provide a Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union that has to be completed, signed, and notarized. The request letter states that it has to bear original signatures, but then also says in bold, yellow-highlighted text at the end that for fastest service we should...

    Don't worry about it - I had to wait 53 days for my AOR (Oct 1 to Nov 23)! They need to check all of your documents, and sometimes it takes a long time! We submitted quite a few documents to support the sponsorship application, so it probably took them some extra time to go through. Everyone...

    I agree, I wouldn't worry at all! (I know that's easier said than done) Our application was received on 1 October and we only got our AOR1 this past Saturday - 53 days later!!! Each case is different and they need to review your documents, sometimes by more than one person, to make sure...

    Hoping you all get it soon! I'm still waiting for AOR, despite the fact they received the application on 1 October :( There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this!

    Thanks guys that's really helpful! Our was received 1 October and we haven't heard anything either - glad I'm not the only one! How did you link to ECAS before AOR? I've tried with the receipt number but it doesn't work (also not sure if you're meant to use PA or sponsor details when linking to...

    Hi all! Our application was signed for at the Sydney office on 1 October but we still haven't received AOR1 - Any ideas on whether I should be worried? According to the tracker some end of Sept applicants are still waiting, but it seems odd that so many other October applicants received after us...
