Oh thanks bcgirl, I never checked cause I was so sure >< since I needed one for the US, I just assumed it wont be different for canada but it just came to my mind that I didnt get one either when I visited my husband...actually logical haha. Anyway good to know again, that makes it easier then

Destination Toronto.. will be flying this month end..
What is actually approval? does it mean the VO has approved our visa and the decission is made ?

will this happen after they request for PP?

what happens next after we receive the AOR?

please share your thoughts..

As far as I know, after AOR you will get sponsor approval. Then you have to wait a while til you get PPR (Passport Request). Sponsor approval is in effect stage 1.

Basically Bonitanita as British citizens (Visa exempt) Once we get to stage 2 of the app we might not hear anything at all (not sure if London VO issues AOR) they will contact us if any additional documents required i.e medicals expired, supporting evidence or if police check needs updating. You will keep your pp through out the process.

I hope I do hear something as I wish to add further documents myself but my file is somewhere between Miss and Lon VO so at the moment I have to sit tight and wait until my wife tells me her sponsorship has been approved and I know for sure London has the file, right now I suspect she has been approved but cant send additional information because I am not sure if my file is in London or Canada lol :D

If your package does not require any additional information, yes your copy of COPR might be the first you hear from Lon VO.
