oops I just realized what I typed, AOR and SA is two different emails.

I take it you got this email:

Dear Client,

This email confirms that your complete Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga on October 28, 2014, on behalf of the following family member(s):


What happens next?
You may be contacted at any time during this process to provide additional information before a decision is made by an officer. Once a sponsor's eligibility has been assessed, the sponsor is informed of the eligibility decision in writing.
Please note that while the sponsorship application is in process, email inquiries about the status of the application will not be acknowledged and you will not receive a response.

For further information about the sponsorship process, please refer to CIC's website at www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp.


Have you got the SA?

Yeah that's the only email I got.

The SA can come in the mail or email. The agent told that the file has been transferred to the VO correct? I was thinking that may be you are already approved as a sponsor and the file has been transferred to the VO which makes sense from the agent's comment and they must have sent you the SA by email or mail. Double check your inbox/spam folder and mails.

I suggest you call them asking if you have been approved as a sponsor and you are still waiting for confirmation.

My SA says the same

You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent
Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to a visa office abroad for further processing.

Does this mean that AOR2 is necessary, this does confirm they already have the file right? I email New Delhi today asking for an AOR for my file, do you think i should order GCMC notes and do case file inquiry..Im very confused what should I do??

Case specific enquiry is basically you provide your UCI/file number and ask a specific question. For example, I asked if the medicals for my wife have been received or not since
the ECAS was not showing any information about the medicals and she did her medicals in July 2014.

GCMS notes and basically the notes put on your file by the visa officers. There are a few categories that the applicant has to clear. I am copy/pasting sample GCMS notes from someone:

ELIGIBILITY
ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT
ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT: 1


ADMISSIBILITIES

SECURITY
SECURITY:1

CRIMINALITY
CRIMINALITY
CRIMINALITY:1

MEDICAL
MEDICAL: 1
Created Date: 2011/03/29 11:04:02

1 stand for pass


As you can see, you can find out the status of the different categories. I know its too early for me to find any useful information from these notes, but I requested one just because
I did not get AOR2.

Yes I sent the documents on October 21st 2014 and they were received on October 22nd.
Gigalu, would please tell me how to apply for GCMC notes?

bhkr0008 I used the following link to apply online:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

Once you fill out all the information it will allow you to upload documents. I attached 2 documents with my request:
- a signed IMM5475E from my wife allowing me to make the request on her behalf
- scanned copy of my passport as a proof that I am canadian

You can pay the $5 fee online too.

bhkr0008 its two different wording, the AOR doesnt say you have met the requirements and looks like what she got is an AOR.

They have confirmed in writing via the SA that the file has been forwarded so the delay might just be the person updating it.

You could order the GCMS notes but it pretty much wont say anything for now since it would take a while before an officer actually sees your file to make comments on it. Since you have already contacted them directly via email I would say give it a week or two. We had submitted a case specific enquiry for an address change and we got a reply the next week.

Guys! I just received AOR2 from Mexico VO.
They are requesting me to send police certificate, with a letter from Embassy (I understand this is requiered to all mexicans), an updated version of IMM5669 form, payment of right of permanent residence fee and copy of my husband´s valid bio data page from his passport.
I am happy and excited, but nervous too, I will try to get everything as fast as possible!

Okay so I called in and was told (by a nice agent working there thankfully :)) that my application was sent to Manila but she wasn't sure if I was approved or not... So I have no idea what to think. As long as they're processing the application I hope I'm fine. She told me to email the mississauga office so I'm going to do that now.
