Hello, so i got a letter from CIC for my husband for my husband to go in for an interview they have given me a date and a time they have also asked me for some documents and i am well aware of the ones that they have asked for but I'm am soo confused on some things...
It say "as well as the originals of any documents that you have already submitted" does that mean ALL of the documents first had sent when handing in my application that i need to re send to my husband to take with him?
And it also says "If you have not already done so, you may ask your sponsor to pay your right of permanent residence fee (RPRF). Failure to do so will delay the processing of your application." What fee is this? is this the first fee when i handed in my application the money that i had submitted with my receipt or is this a new fee?
They also asked for this form Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM 5562], is this form for my husband to fill our or myself? and also is it for my husbands present passport?
And it also says"Additional documentation may include the following: Letter of employment from Canadian employer, Canadian banking statements demonstrating recent transactions, rental/lease agreement in Canada, and utility bills in Canada." Does this mean i need a receipt of any bills that i have paid? Like school and dental bills?
Can anyone please give my husband some tips for when he is going in for the interview?.. And what can this interview be about? Him being excepted or what?
My husband is going to Ankara Turkey for the interview?
Thank you !! Your responses are truly appreciated!!

Hello. My parents applied for TRV on December 24, 2015, they submitted their biometrics on December 31, 2015, in Istanbul VAC. However, their profile has not been updated yet. There is still a note saying that they have to submit their biometrics. Is this normal?

They have until January 24th to submit their biometircs. We are worried that they might get rejected automatically by CIC's online system, since their profile says that biometrics are still needed (this happened to a friend of mine before, when CIC had just started collecting biometrics).

We have contacted VAC twice and they informed us that they have send their biometrics to CIC and there is nothing more they can do for us. We have also contacted the Embassy in Ankara, no answer yet.

Is there anything else we can do?

Ankara Visa office has asked us to send some more documents. When sending documents via post should we use a courier service (DHL,UPS... or regular post?

Anyone who has a similar experience with AVO, how long until PPR once documents are received?

INFO:
Application received: December 16
SA: February 22
Started processing: March 2
Request for documents: March 21

I think a courier would be safer. Could you please post here when you get your PPR? AVO started processing my application on March 9th. I am hoping to hear something from them soon, too.

Hello,

Why are they so late in processing PPR at Ankara VO?!!!
Now, It's more than 4 months after we've done our medical!!!
Should I email them or something?!

Thx Smiley
Hi, I am wondering if you have heard anything from AVO since your last post. Did they update your ecas saying that medical results have been received?

Hello AVO applicants!

Could you please share your timelines here so we have an idea about how long it is taking for them to process the applications these days?

I am a January applicant. (SA Feb 26). AVO started processing my application on March 9th and I have not heard anything from them since then.

Thanks a lot and good luck to everyone with their applications!

Received COPR and Passport today - I think it would have been sooner if there was no weekend. The VAC received it on Thursday and sent it to the Embassy the same day. They got it back the following day and couriered it back to us. Everything seems to be in order.

Expiry for COPR is Sep 21 of this year but we are going to land in May and stay for about a week for a friend's wedding and then we're going to settle in September as that's when my job starts.

Good luck to everyone!
