Can somebody please help me with this question how many months after CIC will send u an email they recieved ur application? And when they need an additional document how many months will they bring it back to you? Please help.
Hi Anng!
Try not to panic at this stage. If you have just sent your application, the next step is to wait for your AOR (Acknowledgement of receipt). This is an email sent from CIC to the sponsor. This basically lets you know your application arrived & has been put aside to be processed. You'll then be able to search for your details online (hopefully!). In the past it has taken about 1 month before you hear anything, BUT since January 2014, many of us have been waiting about 3 months because of a change in CIC offices. Hopefully timescales will reduce over the coming months, but there's no guarantee. I have still not received an AOR since applying in January.
After AOR, you need to wait for your first stage approval. After that, the second stage. The current timescales for these change, but you can see here for weekly updates. At the moment it's 9months + 8months.. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp If CIC need additional documents from you, I'm sure they will contact you.
To keep track of your application in comparison to others that have recently applied, send a message to Sophieee who I'm sure will be happy to put you onto the spreadsheet..(there is a weblink in my signature) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArK2RVjQ5v59dFlqaGRPN3JxaGY4Nk9ucTZxV1Z0NEE&usp=sharing#gid=0
