[Sponsor my wife] Self apply and submitted Application in late Oct 2017
1, Application received on Feb 1,2018

2.1, Passed the medical exam on Apr 20
3, Confirmed eligibility as a sponsor on Apr 25
4, Request Schedule A and Police Certificate on Jul 12, first time
4.1, Filled the Schedule A online and uploaded, but forget to transmit
5, Re-submit the Schedule A online via linked account and transmitted as well as uploaded the signed Schedule A form via IRCC web tools
6, Checked the Police department and confirmed to be sent the Police Cert on Aug 8
7, Received letter to inform the application is sent to HKVO today(Aug 23)
My questions are:
1) Unknown whether the Police Certificate has sent and received by CPC-Miss since Police dept send directly to CPC-Miss
2) My Police Certificate is sent to CPC office in Nova Scotia as posted in CPC website, is that right?
3) Any good or bad if application is carrying on in HKVO?
4) what will be next step?
5) If this is required to send the passport to visa office, any submission due? I am worry it will cross between my trip.
6) Anyone can help to interpret those short-term dragon such as AOR, PFL, etc...
Thank you very much for your helping.

Hi, I can’t answer most of your questions because we are not in the same application class, but I can explain those short terms for you:
AOR=approve of receive
PFL=procedural fairness letter, and this is something you wish you will never get, because there will be extra wait if you need to go through this process.
Thanks and hope it is smooth.
For the whole application process, I am looking at this processing timeline as the guideline of application, hope this is helping!
Usually before BGC. They will send you an email or send you a message in your account (if you have linked). If your interview is successful, BGC gets started after. Very few people receive interview request after BGC.

As the letter says, it is crucial you provide as much proof as you possibly can before the deadline to convince the officer your intent to move to Canada. I would recommend you read through the previous posts in this thread first. As for personal experience wise, if you can't do a few of their recommendations such as selling the home and whatnot, you may try closing up bank accounts in HK/China and conversing with overseas banks and opening Canadian bank accounts. Best to have a transfer of funds to show that you moved money back and can afford to survive without putting a strain on Canadian welfare system. Submit those email/conversation, bank records. Aside from that, a resignation letter from your employer and Canadian job offer letters would be great help. Again, these are letters and not actual binding contracts. As your letter says, this list is not exhaustive. Almost forgot, living-wise, if you intend to stay somewhere, do provide proof you searched for place to stay or even a signed rental contract. If you plan to stay at an existing family's place, be honest and write a letter as to why you are not renting or buying a home (due to high prices, etc) and just provide that info. Time is of the essence so get started as soon as possible. Each assessment is handled differently but hope this helps!
