If you send by normal post:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada

P.O. BOX 7500

Documents to be sent to SYDNEY, NS for FSW category 1

Send all the application forms (remember some forms should be filled out for each accompanying member).

2 address labels, one with your address in your resident country's official language and the other in English.

A check/cheque for the application fees.

If there is not enough space on the application form, you can write it on an attachment. Be sure to say your name on that attachment, the name of the form and the question number.

If necessary, write a cover letter to say what you have included.

You don't attach your IELTS to your initial application to Sydney, NS. On one place it says to attach it and on the instruction, it tells you to send nothing else. So I believe you don't have to send it now.

However, if you are claiming language points based on where you come from, your education, etc, then you might want to write a letter saying why you are claiming your language points and send that to Sydney, NS with your initial application. If they don't need it, they can throw it away.

RBVO means: Received by VIsa office
you will get this status on your ecas

2nd AOR: it's an acknowledgement of receipt of your docs sent by SGVO by post. you will get it once your ecas starts showing RBVO
