Thank you for your reply.

Generally how long does it take to received MR from LVO, any ideas, seems to be a slow office from what I'm reading?
Going by trend should get in 3-4 months but in some cases june-july applicants r still waiting response so in case of lvo u can never be sure

If that is the case then that's really disappointing! SPVO fly through thr process, taking one month per stage, all done from application receipt date to Passport issue in less than 6 months.

Looks like LVO is double that - what is it with the UK and being efficient and slick!

Anyways - got to stay positive and hope that we all make it through which is ultimately the most important message

Hello !

When Did you receive PER and didn't you got AOR ? Because Warsaw Office is sending AOR in most of the cases.
Also let me know the timing and procedure to call them.

Thanks

***IMPORTANT**

Hi All,
for all of those who wll attend the interview read this I found it on the CIC website, it helps to understand what is expected from the interviewer and they are looking for.....

------
Conducting interviews
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by CIC staff. It is posted on the CIC website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
The following steps should be followed when conducting interviews:

Step 1
Read the file in advance
Stay focused on why an interview is required and what is needed to make a decision
Gather any tools that need to be consulted in order to make a decision.


Step 2
Establish rapport
Greet the applicant
Put the client at ease: help them through the logistics e.g.
do they follow you?
where do they sit?
do they have special needs?

Step 3
Explain the purpose and format of the interview
Explain the officer's role and authority
Explain how the interview will be conducted
If using an interpreter, ensure that the applicant and interpreter understand each other
Ensure that the applicant understands the officer and the process.

Step 4
Elicit information
Try to put the applicant at ease: most people will be more forthcoming if they feel relaxed
Keep vocabulary simple and sentence structure uncluttered
Avoid jargon, rephrase questions if it appears that the applicant has not understood a question
Maintain the dignity of the applicant
What to ask:
ask only what cannot be determined from the file
use the application form as a guide
be alert for inconsistencies, gaps and evasiveness. Personal questions are acceptable as long as the officer is respectful.

Step 5 Verify the client's information
Probe by asking closed questions about details that the client should be able to provide
Use closed questions in a cross-examination style
Observe the client's demeanor as they answer
Remain neutral and objective
Maintain rapport during this phase of the interview.

Step 6 Give the applicant the opportunity to refute/explain
Remember the principles of procedural fairness
Give the applicant reasonable opportunity to:
respond to the decision
clarify facts
provide new information or
question the officer's interpretation of the facts
Don't be reluctant to change a decision if the applicant presents new, relevant information
Explain any conditions of acceptance
Explain the reasons for a refusal
Explain the requirements and why the applicant does not meet them.

Step 7 Explain what happens next
If something is required of the applicant, write this down for them
Ask only for additional information/documentation if it is necessary in order to make a decision
Inform the client what will be done next
As applicable, inform the applicant that they will also receive a written explanation
Inform the applicant if humanitarian and compassionate consideration, rehabilitation, etc., will be sought
Make clear who has the authority to make the decision.

Step 8 Answer any questions
Give the client an opportunity to clarify what was said and make sure they understand
Give counseling: refer the applicant to authoritative sources
Avoid giving information you are not certain of.

IMPORTANT FOR ALL OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER APPLICANTS

Hi All! Just want to share that substantial number of Oct, Nov & Dec applicants from New Delhi Visa Office will be transferred to Warsaw or Colombo Visa Office due to heavy rush of applications at NDVO. In 95% of the cases, applicants will surely get their AOR.

Thanks

Hi Dreamland,
Thanks for sharing. How did you confirm this and did your sources confirm when the AOR and MR request would be triggered?
Thanks.

I have sent my application for PR to Canada on 25th Oct 14 , Application received on 3rd Nov 14.

Till date no email communication from CIO.

Occupation Code : 2132.

I have made Demand Draft on 15th October 2014 it has validity of six months so anyhow by 15th April 2015 it can't be encashed.

Also i have checked with my bank they said DD has not been encashed yet.

I have sent an email to CIO regarding the same , they will reply by 35 days.

Please suggest the way forward.

Hello friends,

I am so happy to announce that today I have received MY GOLDEN MAIL - PER! 8)

The most important thing that I have to mention is that I have paid 2 days ago for a dupplicate of my wes report and the reason isn't that I have not mention FSWP on the initial application but just to remind CIC or to give them access to the online evaluation file. Indeed me and some other fellows from the forum acted this way and we really didn't know how this happen, but IT DOES!!! So if you are waiting for a long time for your PER, please don't hesitate to pay 33.9$ for online dupplicate, it gives you a big chance to receive tha golden mail!

I am very excited and I am not sure how clear am I :)
