Also....am I missing something?? ExiledCanadian's application AOR and sponsorship was approved on the 8th........ my app was received the same day and I havent gotten a single word about it :(


How can we check our App status? The site says you can ..but there is not opion for family class. When I select simplified (only other one that qualifies kinda...) and I enter in our receipt number and info it says it can not be found. Am I not on the right site? Any tips would help! Thanks

hi there, i dont think your missing something. just wait. i cannot also check our status, the site says maybe our application is not yet in process though they do not deny the fact of receiving the same . one August applicant got SA after 19 days. exiledcanada got SA on his 11th day.cheer up.

Hi ranzar! Welcome to the thread! You've been added to the spreadsheet already. Can you please specify the date of medicals of your husband and where is he bound to in Canada? Thanks!! ;) ;) ;)

About your question, you should be receiving your AOR thru email if you were able to provide your email address on your form. However, if you missed your email address on the form, they will send the AOR and the SA to you through regular mail which will take additional days for delivery.

By the way, I am also applying for PR under Manila VO.

Good luck to all of us!!! :p :p :p

Hi.geedsey20! You are a September applicant and I added you in the September 2013 spreadsheet.

Here's the link to the September spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amio-4HuEKm_dDVTZkVINWFBckpJRWRXMGJTMzc1OEE#gid=0


We also have a thread for September 2013 applicants. Here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/september-2013-outland-applications-t163843.0.html


AORs are usually given in 1-2 weeks from the date they received it in CPC-M and is usually sent thru the sponsor's email.

You sent your applications via courier through UPS at Robert Speck Parkway,Suite 300 Mississauga, ON L4Z 1H8 ? Couriers don't deliver on PO box addresses so you did the right thing. :) :) :)

Good luck on your application!

:D :D :D :D

Hi Sing_tao

No your files are not in process yet.
The e-cas is simply showing that they have received your spouse's apps as well including her medicals. (This is in Mississauga)
They will eventually send off her apps tho your VO and when you login with her application number it will show "In Process"

Hello Every one,
Just to bring your attention that after being held for almost 5 months (Still the strike is on :(), today is the first time Canadian free local news paper Metro published an article on VISA Strike and it's adverse effect. It seems the PR applicants are the most affected, it is dropped by almost 5000 applications compare to last year at the same period of time, which is almost 10%.

Keep the positive vibes , hope Ottawa will take some action and they start work in faster pace:).

Cheers

Hello everybody!

Still waiting for AOR... Hope it won't take very much longer, as we're getting kinda anxious!
I have one question and maybe someone can help.
As I mentioned in my first post, we are planning on leaving in about 7 months from now, around April, before my husband receives his Permanent Residence Visa. I wanted to ask about the procedure concerning his passport. I've read many forums which mention that the Visa office (in our case Rome) asks for the applicant's passport to be sent before they give the final approval and keep it for up to 6 months.. The thing is that we really need to leave in 7 months and we wanted to know if they need it within the first 6-7 months from the begging of the procedure, or later on, so in that case we could just send it from Canada.

Any info would be great!!

Thank you!
Hello again!:)

Does anybody have any info about my question concerning the passport above?

Thank you!

I have two minor corrections. My sponsorship was actually approved on September 4. I just didn't find out about it until yesterday because they sent the notice by snail mail rather than email. Also, I originally said my Visa office would be Detroit because it was listed on the form where we indicated our preference for an interview location. The correct Visa office is Ottawa.

So happy!

I select the option for checking my sponsorship application, then use the UCI number that came with my AOR as the identification number to log in. I'm not sure if there is any way to check your status if you haven't received the AOR with your UCI and Application numbers though.

Hang in there!
