The mistake was that I checked the wrong box in one of tge questions and it needed a explanation

Basically i said that my 8 year old boy had been in prison in the last 4 years :-(
I'm still laughing.. sorry but can't hold it lol! it happens...
Kidding aside... good thing it was returned quickly..at least this time it shows that they are scanning the applications more quickly that ever before
Good luck to your second application.

Hi batchmates,
Just checking in, It's been about two weeks since I sent in mine, hoping I don't get it back in the mail for some missing information or requirement .
Also, I got my Discover Canada study guide in the mail which I ordered around two weeks ago too.

It seems that we may start to see AORs arriving as early as next week. Most February applicants have already received theirs. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Anyone know how to figure out which local office will get our application? We're in Ontario (Muskoka area).

Hi pelipeli2,

Could you please give more information on the Discover Canada Guide. Where do you order it from? I was under the impression that CIC send it to you once they finalize the date for your test and you do not need to order it.

Where did you get your degree from? If it is from a Canadian University then no, if it is from another country you should email administrators to ask for a letter in University letter head that declares that the language of instruction was in English.

Hi Samreentariq!!

Thanks for the information, its from Pakistan but my university was affiliated with UK university so i have degree of UK.

I think best i should ask department administration for such note which might help.

One more thing, do i need the original Statement notifying the Language is English or Print out version will work?

Thanks

Even i had similar concern and this is what i have done

I got letters from my School and University on their Official Letterheads saying that medium of instruction is English, and then send copies of those along with my Application.

Hopefully that will be ok.
