Thanks for the reply
Sorry for not able to get your message.

I mean after receiving your AOR, did you tried to follow up with customer service for SA and medical request or you just waited for them to receive??

Next step would be determining the eligibility of PA and transfer of file to local VO, New Delhi VO in your case.
I am in same boat as of now....

I didn't phone too much after getting AOR , may be once for something! Those agents cannot expedite the process or anything and they say "we are not immi officers" so anything like no AOR or serious delays can be inquired about. Other than that we have webform too

OK thanks NOW my doubts and experiences say ; since they did not transfer and still checking PA's Eligibility, it is quite possible your case will be finalized right here in Canada. May it be Sydney or Mississauga. We saw 3-4 cases which did not show FILE TRANSFERS and apparently were dealt with right here in SYDNEY. No lies here I have read the forums. So this delay can be much better or ? Lets be patient nothing else we can do rt now. ONE case complete silence for 2 months then all of a sudden PPR.GOOD LUCK 4 all of us :)

BTW they need original PCC but if asking afterwards to submit , it can easily be submitted via webform by scanning of the original and 1 will sure get a reply if accepted.. I would also on top of this,, mail in the original to be on the safe side since PCC must be in original they insist. And if it is of NO USE to us later on anyways!
