good morning forum family,
a little confused Kingston has asked for the re-do of my medical and police record checked back the envelope and notice there was also a background declaration form with my file number already attached to it...to be sent in yet my husband got a mail from them req to pay landing fees...whats happening? i have redone the medical but not the police record am gonna do thet tomorrow definitely and pay for express...but why do they ask for landing fees to be paid when they have not yet received my medicals/police records and Background declaration.

Hi FLK, just curious...was the AOR you received from the case processing centre in missisiauga? Because I actually did receive one from them as well after I first sent in the application, however, when my file was transfered to Kingston visa office a few months later I did not receive a AOR from Kingston.

That's why I had contacted them...to confirm that it reached the Kingston VO.

Good Morning Ladies! Today is another hopeful day. I tend to get excited every morning hoping that today is the day that I hear something good!

I have a question hopefully someone can answer for me. Who is the communication usually sent to? We're at the point where my husband's app. is "in-process" in the Kingston VO and up until this point I've been receiving the communication. I'm wondering who will receive the letter to pay the landing fee or any other information from here on out?

Good mornin forum fam, hope today brings some good news.



Words of wisdom

And so the words are spoken, and the indissoluble knot is tied. Amen. For better, for worse, for good days or evil, love each other, cling to each other, dear friends. Fulfil your course, and accomplish your life's toil. In sorrow, sooth eath other; in illness, watch and tend. Cheer, fond wife, the husband's struggle; lighten his gloomy hours with your tender smiles, and gladden his home with your love. Husband, father, whatsoever your lot, be your heart pure, your life honest. For the sake of those who bear your name, let no bad action sully it. AS you look at those innocent faces, which ever tenderly greet you, be yours, too, innocent, and your conscience without reproach. As the young people kneel before the altar-railing, some such thoughts as these pass through a friend's mind who witnesses the ceremony of their marriage. Is not all we hear in that place meant to apply to ourselves, and to be carried away for everyday congitation.

WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY


Happy Wednesday peeps ;D

Good morning!

Akinna, a request to pay the RPRF means you need to give the people them everything they need to issue your visa!! All checks are done, from here on out, how quick you get everything KG requests off to them determines how quick you have that visa in your hand!! Get a move on! :D

FW, KG communicates with the applicants. Even though we had my husband listed as my representative, all correspondence was sent to me, which was basically the med and PCC re-do request, then they called me to submit my passport and again to come collect it.

FLK, did you email KG, or did they spontaneously send the AOR? An AOR is supposed to be standard letter mailed to the applicant following receipt of the files at the VOs. It states their file number, says how long they take to process cases (usually they give some song and dance about prioritising spouses and children and completing such files within x time) and closing with "Don't call us, we'll call you" type lines. Like I said, I haven't heard of anyone who didn't ask KG if they had their file getting such a letter since 2010. It would be interesting to know they sent one to you! It means every now and again they actually do things by standard procedure, haha!

Well, it's Emancipation Day, so KG is resting. Enjoy it, everyone!

Thank you CharlieD! I’ll make sure that my hubby is on the alert then! Do you know if the KG corresponds by email as well?

yeah you have to be careful not to get to depressed....people who filed 1 month after me are on the plane to Canada and I am still waiting for an AOR from my VO.....well the ND VO is fast fast...so I try to remember that and my VO is slow slow...so I try and remember and stay positive but sometimes it is not easy.......oh well.....I knew it was a long haul but I truly did not think it would bother me this much....its like having a baby.....they tell you the pain is bad but until you give birth you have no idea :p

I know right... I wish it was a better way! Why the unnecessary stress. My hopes are high though but every once in a while it tries to get to me.. One place can determine a persons life!
