Getting it on ECAS is also considered an AOR2 from what I’ve seen on here anyway lol. That’s what I got today on ECAS as well.I never received the AOR2. Ecas informed me that they had already started processing my PR application. Don't worry
AUGUST 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter JoshC
- Start date
Lol, I know what you mean. It’s a lot to take in. I’ve spent hours on this forum learning the abbreviations and whatever else lol. AOR2 is when the visa office starts processing your file so no, you don’t have it yet but you should get it soon, if at all. Some people don’t. So no worriesMy file was transferred from Sydney to Mississauga VO. Should I consider that an AOR2? Never felt more stupid in my life!
I never received an email, update on ECAS, or anything yet unfortunately lol.I never received the AOR2. Ecas informed me that they had already started processing my PR application. Don't worry

Application suddenly seems to have slowed down lol. I ordered GCMS notes today.
You shouldn't have ordered them so early. Your process is just beginning. It is normal for them to take time to notify you of the transfer. In my case, my wife was approved as a sponsor in May and in July I was notified that they had already started the process of my PR. You will receive news later this month or in December. Be patient. The notes are normally requested when you have not hear from them for more than 90 days. good luckApplication Received - Aug 29, 2019

Do not worry. It is nothing bad. I understand you perfectly. The silence of IRCC creates stress and anxiety haha. My application is from March and I had a long silence after receiving my pre arrival. It was silence from September to November and I can assure you that the silence is good because last week they asked me for my passport and 2 photographs for my COPRThanks so mu
Thanks so much for your reply!

May you have a blessed life, that is great to hear! And very well explained you are correct Thank you so so much for your motivation, help, and reply. I really appreciate it This forum is so helpful. Btw, what is a pre-arrival?
Pre arrival services is a letter that your VO will send you at some point in your process. In most cases it means that the PA passed eligibility (genuine marriage) and can access these services before arriving in Canada. When the PA passes the interview this letter is sent days later or the same day and those who receive it before means that they will not have an interview because of their relationship (my case). Pre arrival meaning is not confirmed but it is a good sign in a sponsorship processAww I am so happy for you
I received mine two months after they started my PR process but before they asked me to send some documents (marriage certificate and background here in my country) Oh awesome! I had no clue about this. Thanks so so very muchPre arrival services is a letter that your VO will send you at some point in your process.

best of luck to you !Can I ask if the pre arrival services is mandatory??? Should I take that before i go to Canada?
