Hi cgagnon - is there a difference between CIC AOR and sponership approval? Cause I just noticed yr spredsheet there r 2 diff columns,.
AOR = Acknowledge of Receipt of your application

APPROVAL = You have been approved to sponsor

you may or may not get an AOR......and your approval may come by email or regular mail......

It's the same thing just CIC-M is Mississauga and CIC-O is ottawa AOR is acknowledgement of receipt
Okie. That clears it a bit. The letter my hubby recieved from CIC-M states that he has met the requirements for eligibility as a sponser & our app has been forwarded to the VO for further processing.
So should I take it that Step 1 is done for us so far?

I checked the website just nw - and it shows me desicison made - under which it mentions CIC-M recvd app on Mar 15 & letter ws sent out on Jun 21. It also shows medicals rcvd.

Jennychen,
Just to clarify, so you got your AOR on 22nd by email (according to the spreadsheet) and approval was dated 21, which you received on 25th?
Approval before AOR, interesting!!

Thats the clarification I've been seeking - Approval before AOR? Or is it supposed to be the other way round?
The letter hubby rcvd stated he meets the eligibility as a sponser & our application file is being transferred to VO in Delhi.
The letter came by regular mail. It ws dtd Jun 21 but due to weekend, hubby rcvd on Jun 25 (monday).

Normal practice is, AOR before Approval. But with CPC-M anything is possible...
Anyways, the good news is you got approved, so Congrats and hopefully step 2 won't take that long. :)

Thanks so much...!!! So what should I expect in Step 2 frm the VO? Any idea how long from the time they send request for my passport until they actually stamp the visa and send back to me?
