Did you get AoR 2 ? which Visa Office?

Yeah, I got my AOR2 on October 10 and it's Delhi VO

You guys are still lucky coz after they sent an email for me the sponsor, that they forwarded the file to office visa in Manila Philippines for further processing last Sept 14 till now no update yet. They didn’t even ask my husband to submit PCC. I think ours still behind from you guys.

It's not just you, plenty of people here do that. There are some cases that are luckier than others. I got the transfer on September 15th, haven't been requested medical nor police certificate yet. I do feel unlucky, since my VO should have done something by now, according to how it has been with other applications, but you have a different VO, so yours could take longer. I am really hoping I will get something soon. Someone from my VO who got AOR2 on August 22nd had the passport back today, while I haven't gotten anything from my VO. We all have to wait, even though it's very stressful and takes a toll on us.

Hi guys,

Need some help here.
I used the webform to let the Singapore (my VO) office know about my spouse's current situation (pregnant with a child) and they replied to me this:

"To advise us of a change to your family composition, please send us a signed letter, email or fax providing us with all required changes to your file. The following information must be included in the letter if we are to make the changes:

- full name,
- date of birth,
- file number [Letter followed by a nine-digit number],
- telephone number, including area code,
- fax number, including area code, and
- mailing address

As we require your signature on this information, please note that your current family composition has not been amended in our records."

They asked me to send them the signed letter but I am not sure where! It does not state in the email. Do I just reply to the email attaching the letter or I use the webform again??

You should also contact the Consular section of the High Commission of Canada to make sure the child has the appropriate travel document. See these Web pages for information:

- a letter explaining how your family composition has changed and requesting that your child be added to your application
- processing fee for the child (if accompanying you to Canada)
- an IMM8 application form and Family Information Form filled in for the child
- updated IMM0008 Generic and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself and your spouse
- notarized copy of the child’s birth certificate
- copy of your child’s valid passport
- two recent passport-size photographs of your child according to the specifications
