**** MAY 2010 APPLICANTS ****

[Tegnus]

TEGNUS AND OTTHERS---------What is the use of file number they gave me yesterday?AOR FILE NUMBER WILL BE THE SAME?usually they give file number after eligibility review completion,so what is the importance of this file number?they mention for future correspondance .,, but for what and with whom?

Please read brabus_ post: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/may-2010-applicants-t40510.0.html;msg421656#msg421656

If money were charged - FILE will be definitely created.
If you receive AOR, it is ok, application is transferred to VO.
If you receive deny, file will be closed, and appropriate TAG will be placed in it. Money will be refunded.

If you ask again for status of your application you can already provide them with case #. Number will probably be the same if AOR will be sent to you!

Why r u tense with that link? we all are together in the same boat.....

in that link, time line is mentioned "in Months" which is wrong i am sure. There could be a typo error.....I THINK, the given time line is "in Weeks"....u can then match it with CIO website timelines as well...

Hi Navali and Others

The timeline in that link is for pre, FEB.,2008 applicants. It is really a misleading the way they have written. If you see on CIC's website, those numbers are matching for pre,FEB.2008 applications.
For pre Jun.,2010 applicants, surely it will be faster than that.

Thanks

Hi tegnus,
this could not be true as you have not received 2nd AOR yet how could they take decision on your app so early. as i saw at the forum that E cas status sometime shows misleading info but it will change soon. if it happens within 'in process' stage than u shud need to worry. this is definitely a wrong update. Dont worry have faith and keep us updated.
Wish you good luck.

It seems CIO hired Aliens to process our cases....they are updating status on ECAS without sending 2nd AOR....they are sending file numbers without issuing 1st AOR....they stopped all regular AORs for MAY onward....it seems several more bugs/blunders will keep going on until these aliens get fully trained on new rules.....disappointedddddddd :-X

Yes exactly....Agreed...coz even i know several people (who applied in 2009) personally who got thier visas in 8 to 10 months....

hello people! I called CIO today and I asked them regarding my file number. She made it clear to me that the file number is just an ID for the client. Also, I asked when i can receive my assessment letter and how come they are delayed in releasing these letters. She said they are still on track. On the average, it would take 10 weeks after charging the credit card. As for me, my credit card was charged aug.6. So i should expect my email mid Oct.

Perhaps, there is really no need to panic now. We will get our AORs in time.

JPMA, I am very appreciated to you for your info.
Did you receive your file number even in case it is just an ID ?

 

[Tegnus]

I got answer from VO. It looks realy good:

Dear Applicant,

Please be advised that your case has been reviewed by Immigration Officer and as a result, medical forms and instructions will be forwarded to you soon.

Sincerely,
Immigration Section

I got answer from VO. It looks realy good:

Congrats Tegnus. This is the beginning of good news for some of us in the queue for AORs and the whole process.

Considering that you submitted on September 01, 2010 and you got this response, things are looking up.

Best of luck to everyone.

Cheers

I got answer from VO. It looks realy good:

Tegnus I want to ask you something, What did you write in the email for receiving that answer. I would like to know what is going on with my process, but the problem is that I made my process with a law firm and I do not know my file number, so I call to cic, at 16139444000 and then I selected options in this sequence 1...2...1...2....1 after that the computer ask me about my file number and I had to hang up because I dont have the file number.

How I could to do in orther to know if they are procesing my case. Could I send and email or call and give other data such as my bith day and my names?

I ask for someone give me advise how I could find out about it?

Thank for you lend attention.

 

[David Alexander]

Let it ask you for file number 3 times and then it puts you through to an Agent. They will tell you ten weeks from your money being taken before email.

****AOR DELAY MAY BE POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THIS REASON****

SandR and Tengus got the AOR in the 02nd week of August. Canada had unexpected situation that week as 1 migrant ship with 490 onboards arrived at Canadian Boarder (in British Columbia). This may be possible that some of the immigration officers (probably those who were responsible to send AOR) had been shifted over there to process those refugee claims application. For more detailed information about this news, please open the following link....

Again, i am not perfect and this is just an openion on the basis of the situation which could be a potential reason for the delay in AOR.

I got answer from VO. It looks realy good:

Congrats Tenus. Really nice to see some success for at least one of the May applicants. Good luck.

I will have to repeat again the very simple fact I am stating almost every week here - there is nothing increase in resources can do to eliminate backlogs. Backlogs are not caused by poor management, low resources or incompetence of processing officers - backlogs are a direct result of the difference between number of applications being submitted every year and the annual immigration targets approved by our Parliament. No matter how much money and people you will throw into processing - if you have 3 to 6+ times more applications than the number of visas to be granted per year then you have a backlog.

I think it is the answer to all delays happenned ever, though it is agent's opinion from several years ago.

 

[INDIANAJONES]

It's your immigration case #. This e-mail basically means they have received your application (which is good) and they will process it some time.

Be patient and it will pay back!

I agree with u tegnus. It seems they are also aware of our getting late in their operational procedure. So they are trying to inform sadika exactly at which stage sadika's application is now. Hopefully, Insha'Allah she will get the AOR soon.
