This looks a very good place to share experiences.. am new here & would like to thank all the helpful people who highlight such important topics which matter all the interested people in migrating to Canada ...
I filed my application on 14 Nov 2010 to CIO from Dubai; therefore am following London VO.
On 25 May 2010 i received NER 66 points only.. but obviously CIO has made some clear points calculations errors related to my certificate, spouse education & relatives in Canada.. however i sent them a request for review & re assessment on 1 June 2011 ( via email & BO Box as well) & hopefully I received the PER on 7 June 2011
in the email I was informed that my application will be forwarded to a visa office for further processing.
They mentioned too that : This correspondence also acknowledges receipt of your payment dated November 24th 2011 in the amount of $1,100.00 Canadian dollars
Pls let me know if this what do you mean by (AOR)?
as an applicant after June 26 2010 I sent all the necessary docs ( except Police certificate of course; since it was not necessary at that point - refer to London VO guidelines ) to Sydney CIO- so any body can let me know what is exactly the role of visa office ? any hint about the following procedures & how long roughly we have to wait?
many thanks in advance.
Yes gettign the file number means the AOR, keep your police certificate ready as they will be needed by visa office and you will have to provide them on a very short notice so get them together. Visa office do all the verification like your experiece, documents and security checks. You are under new guidlines so you should get your visa by end of this year if they keep up with the speedy process for new applicants.
Cheers
