Hey everyone!
I'm wondering if the main applicant gets his own UCI and when. My sponsor has been approved already and ECAS says in process on applicant's side but no AOR 2. I was thinking if I wanted to contact my VO at any point but have no UCI I might not get any information.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Kathi,

Mine was simple because i had applied for a TRV earlier. I didn't know if i was to use the same but when i tried logging into ECAS i found out it was the same one. Please check if you have ever had correspondence from CIC previously or visa application.

Hello Kathi2,

Yes, you visa office should email you that they have received your application with your UCI number. My wife (main applicant) received AOR2 which stated her UCI.

Hi there,

Any Aussies in the March forum here?

Got the 'final request' email today and I'm 99% sure Aussies are visa exempt and hence, I have to send a photocopy of my passport and two photos to complete the process but with the recent introduction of the ETA I am unsure if this changes things?

Also, in two days time it will be 12 months since I did my medical exam. Has anyone heard of the PR docs expiry date being extended to allow for entry?

Thanks so much in advance. I would be lost without this forum! :) Sending good vibes.

Absolutely, they do extend medical exams, hopefully they will do the same for you or it has already been done.

Hello All,

When CIC does "Decision Made" , does it always appear at the CIC status Check?

Or can it be that they have done that DM and they send it to you the COPR without appearing on the COmputer screen

(my VO is Paris, and being spanish they won´t ask me for the Passport to stamp a Visa)

Hi there,

I'm Australian so visa exempt too, and no stamp needed. It took 4 business days from when I saw DM on the website, until I received an email with next steps. From what I understand, they have asked me to send them a photocopy of my passport and a couple photos and then I get the COPR after that. I think! I hope!

Hope this helps?

:)
