I have a question there was a form that says sign electronically by typing your name. So we just typed name there were we supposed to sign manually. anyone else has done the the same?

Both electronically and hand written signatures are needed.
If you are already sent your application, I would say get the paperworks ready in case they ask you to resubmit the application or PAGES with signature to SAVE time.

I almost did that... but when we were going through the checklist or somewhere in the guide my wife noticed that I was supposed to sign it by hand too
 
i think we are screwed :(

sorry to say but you need to SIGN with hand as well, i did same thing as you did initially but had one of my friend where his app was sent back due to some reasons and one among them was there was no hand written sign in this form, so i ended up having it signed by hand and send as well for mine. This one form definitely misleads us by saying electronic signature but there was a place in guide it says they need hand written sign on this form.

i hope you dont get it back, rather they ask you as additional docs.
 
Hello everyone!

I just received an email from CIC confirming that my application to sponsor has been received by their office. I'm guessing this is the AOR1?
I'm curious. What country is the person whom you are sponsoring from? I am so curious why your AOR1 came so quickly when there are still people from May waiting.

Probably this application was one of the first applications that was received by Sydney hence the quick AOR1.

Everyone after March 15 should have been sending their application to Sydney. I noticed that in the trackers many people keep listing Mississauga as their PA office.

IRCC allowed a buffer time to receive applications.
By PA office, I assume you mean VO.
If the applications are straight forward and not complex, most of the time Mississauga deal with the application entirely.
Most of American applicants get their process entirely in Mississauga.
It depends though, there are so many factors that we are unaware of.
