OCTOBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

Yes Fbi must be original.

That sucks. I have little trust for Canada Post right now. I think I may do both anyway.

What if you used a courier?
Maybe when you send online you can tell them the original is on it's way but you are sending them the copy so they can at least verify that you did the FBI report.

That's exactly what I was thinking on both accounts

Omg I'm gonna have the same issue when mine comes in. I'll probably send it xpresspost with tracking so at least if it gets lost I can know.

I sent my application for pr by fed ex. I would send your Fbi report by fed ex or another courier.

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd update with our bad news. Our application was delivered by Canada Post on October 7 but we had not received AOR and we were unable to access ECAS. I tried phoning and submitted a case specific enquiry but didn't hear anything until today. We finally received a response from our enquiry and CIC is saying they have no record of receiving our application! We were asked to provide more information before they advise us on the next steps to follow. Please pray that they are able to find our application so that we are not forced to start this process again.

Sorry to hear that, the process is already frustrating enough without added stress like this. Hoping and praying for the best.

What a nightmare. I hope you get lucky and its just sitting around in the mailroom somewhere or they put in the wrong UCI to search it.

Hi Cricket,

Do you have the tracking number which shows your file was delivered and signed by someone at CPC.I had gone through same issue but i got my AOR after following up with CIC several times.I received my AOR after 117 days.

CIC did not reply to me even tough processing time on the website was update for my application date.I sent the photocopy of the original file (again with the tracking number) with the cover letter explaining the situation and all the communication.Even one month after that CIC did not reply so i used my last resort and contacted my MP and explained the situation. I received AOR the same day i sent email to MP. I am mot sure if it was coincidence.

I suggest if you have tracking number then you should write to your MP.I wold suggest to keep on following up with them.

Instances of CIC misplacing the file has increased considerable in last couple of months.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for reply

Hi makpan!
Answer varies depending on your circumstances., because Outland has different timeline depending on each visa office.

In our case we choose Outland coz we have weighted the total general or average processing time is way faster compared to inland., and although at the moment I am inside Canada as visitor, I still opted for Outland because that will be easier waiting time for my PR ( i wish to take my professional exam here ASAP , and if I did inland it will take me almost 2 yrs to wait).

To get visit visa is another thing, and although most of the requirements are the same, the VO will evaluate the ties of the applicant more thoroughly, in this case if the TRV applicant has prior trips in other countries this will give her greater chances of approval., also if he has good job, finances back home and some socio civic responsibilities then the VO will give approval, otherwise you have to wait until your Spousal visa is approve.

If you choose Inland, meaning both of you are In Canada already.( you cannot choose this option is your spouse is still on her country of origin)., during this processing, it is advisable that both should remain inside Canada. But the chance of reconsideration of application is hard to prove like most cases, but it is not absolute true that you can't apply to be reconsider. You have to personally assess your situation before choosing.,

God Bless you both for the time and commitment.

Hi Cricket,

When you sent it via Canada Post did you receive a tracking number? Do you have the receipt from when you paid the fees? Here is the link for Canada Post tracking

Hello everyone. I am part of the November 2015 outland group but I've been watching the October thread as well just to get an idea of timelines. My app was received by Mississauga on November 13, 2015 and I received my AOR on January 8, 2016. I was able to log on as of today to the CIC website with the UCI given and can I see that it has been received and in process. Roughly how long does it take to get my SA?

Any info is appreciated

We got ours the next week (7 days), and AOR2 7 days after that.

Hello friends!

I need som help.

If my application is Outland, Do I have to be outside Canada to receive the PR? Can I send the passport to some CIC office in Canada?

Thanks for help.

Hi Catherine 27 just noticed your inquiry here:
To enlighten you more, you can choose the option of sending your additional documents or passport request to Ottawa office.
An Outland PR applicant can chose to send documents requested by VO by attaching the request letter from your "Outland VO"( example requesting your passport for stamping )

As you send, provide a self addressed, prepaid Xpresspost envelope from Canada Post . Purchase your prepaid letter -sized (32X24cm) Canada post Xpresspost envelop.

complete the mailing address( label showing your full mail address in the "delivery to" field.
Make a note of the tracking number for each envelop.
Submit in a single package and send to:
CPC Ottawa- PR
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa On
k1A 1L1

Hope this helps you. We continually pray for each other and hopefully soon we will receive that request!

Hello october family..
My spouse (sponsor) didn't receive e-mail or mail with AOR or SA. No news is not reached.
But I checked the CIC website application status and writes this :

Permanent Residence
We received your application for permanent residence on October 22, 2015.
We started processing your application on January 5, 2016.
Medical results have been received.

Does that mean that we get AOR or SA?

Thank you all...
