@ Yehia, u r really lucky to have gotten thru without birth cert as some pple had their appl returned cos it was deemed incomplete without it. You can send VO further docs now, not that it's going to speed up the process in anyway. I submitted my PCC without to VO after PER without it requesting for it (walking distance from work). Info on AOR is varied; some get it, others don't. Some get it via e-mail, others thru snail mail. Others get it within a month, others longer/shorter. One other thing is ur ecas cld be RBVO but VO is actually working on ur case. Some one changed from CIO straight to 'in process' without goinn thru RBVO/AOR...so update ur file at VO and who knows, u cld be on process too! Good luck....Mandie
