Hello everyone,

My application reached on 3rd June. Ecas was updated about 10 days ago and it shows the status - Application received. However, I have not received any email with AOR yet. Anyone in the same boat? I am a bit concerned as it seems June 3 applicants already received their AORs. Also, when I try to link my application in myCIC, it is not able to find the application information.
Hi,
Linking your application is not a requirement, its just for your convenience. You can still check your status under mycic. Its updated daily. Its totally normal to have difficulty in linking an application. If you really want to link application then you have to fill webform under technical issues and attach screen shot of what you are filling in your application. Someone will contact you in a week.

Guys please HELPPPPPP

1- When you asked for biometrics extension time, did they extend the medical time as well without you asking?
My medical came same time as my biometrics letter so they both have the same due date. I wonder if asking for biometrics time will change the medical due date as well or not?

2- What did you mention in your request did you mention how much further time you need or just a general extension request?
I already asked for extension once and asked for two months extra time but the response was irrelevant they just answered that bio should be done outside of Canada! So i'm looking for you yo see how and what i should draft.

Please let me know your experience.
Thank you.

When we check cic’s website for police certificates, there is an option to chose the country.

This is the link, I hope this helps!

Certification of an extract from the Register of Convictions by the Federal Chancellery

Certification is necessary if the extract is required by a foreign authority or an embassy (e.g. for a visa).


They say that we should check with the foreign authority, but of course nobody at IRCC call center knows the answer

CIC website referring to swiss website. You can draw your conclusion from there.
No you can't :( because the swiss site says that you should contact the foreign govt and ask if they require an attested version
and here is where i get stuck and hence searching for someone on the same boat

Attestations
If the excerpt from criminal records is required by a foreign authority / foreign consulate, an attestation by the Federal Chancellery is usually necessary. We will provide the attestation for an additional charge of CHF 20.
Digitally signed electronic criminal records excerpts cannot be authenticated.

Here is where the Swiss site makes reference to the foreign authority

1. No
2. You need more time to arrange it. If they are here (I am assuming), say you have to make a travel plan for them and requested for a 30 days (or 60 days) extension.

Ask them on the twitter, sometimes answers on twitter aren’t that reliable (same with the call centre).
And try to search in different threads on this forum also, may be someone could share a similar experience.

Huh... the ECAS website looks totally different at my end today.

However, the status and all other details of our file is still the same.
