I'm sorry. I see you sent in your application on April 8th, 2016. You should be getting AOR in a few days or so.

I have read somewhere that people with applications from London do not get AOR1?

It's AOR2 they don't get I think. You send your application to Mississauga and that's where you get AOR1 and SA. Then it gets transferred to the other VO, in this case likely London.

Ohhh I see, okay hopefully in a few days then, do they normally email you with AOR1 or do you have to check the status via their online portal?

If you provided emails then it should be emailed to you. It could also come in the mail. I don't think you can check your application status until you receive AOR1, because that gives you your UCI. Even if you never get AOR1, which happens sometimes, you will at least get SA within another month or so and that will also have your UCI.

Correct. Also remember things dont happen first come first served so you also may have people qho apploed after get approved first.

This doesnt mean theres a problem. Just that nothin gets dealt with in order.

Unfortunately thats all there is to do haha. But yeah, dont worry if you dont get anything. It is meant to take around 37 days after all.

So the process time is 37 days after receiving AOR instead of the date they received the mail?

I think I heard of that too. If Vienna has indeed stopped processing applications, then there's a good chance yours will be sent to Ottawa. I've been seeing more and more applications sent to Ottawa instead of the expected VO recently. Good luck ;D.

Edit: The spreadsheet shows that one person from March is In Process.
Why would Ottawa process Vienna's and not a VO in Europe? If mine is Portuguese, will it go to Paris or has a shot going to Ottawa too?! Just happy to think about the possibility!

Hi Everyone,
Could you please tell me, what are the steps that needs to be followed before and after doing Medicals ?

Do we need to get some report or receipts etc.,
