LOL... there's four of us who all got our AOR/MR tonight...
I guess the Ottawa office really deserves a big applause for working this late!
:)

Is it possible that you guys have same visa officer....... ::)
 
Hey people,

I can imagine what you guys (manubobby et al) went through when waiting for AOR from CIO. My CC has not even been deducted after 16 days. How long should one wait and is there any no (if necessary) to call to reach them. I am not calling them just asking.

Thanks

Just believe.... it will come soon. My cheque was cashed a month after my app was received by the CIO, and I only received my AOR/MR a month after my money was cashed. it will come soon, believe me :)

Oh good thanks for the idea. I don't have to worry after all. It's been 22 days and they have not cash out my check yet.

mostlikely your check has been cashed but you just do not know yet. now, you can call your banker to help you find out if it has been cashed or not. you can do this request every week if you want.

CVD222, Manuboby asked you to update your information on our track list. Just a reminder.

Now, I did not see the receipt, at least no words about they received my $14000 (2 adult, 2 children), in my AOR. Did you see anything they mentioned your money was received?

Thanks. Your AOR VO and MR came at the same time after 2 months wait. They said that 4 applicant received this at the same date?

Congrats...guys....nice to hear this...hope I receive mine soon :D

Pari123,

You have not updated the date your application was received. I am not sure if you know your money has been cashed yet. If NOT, you may think it is time for your to call CIO to check the status. Call this number 613-944-4000, choose "immigration" option, then choose talking to agent option. You at least have following information if you call them: 1) application fee cashed or not, 2) where is your application, 3) your EP XXXX XXXX number (NOT UIC), and you can use EP number to check your status online.

Some time you need to do your part rather than just do nothing.

Hi bkd1969,

How long do you think one should wait before calling them to confirm if money has been cashed or not?

averagely speaking, after 21 days your money should be cashed. if not, then you can call your banker, not CIO, to monitor the check status. if you pay your credit card, no need to call banker since it will be automatically reflected on your statement. if more than 6 WEEKS and nothing happen, you may want to check with CIO SINCE 6 WEEKS are the minimum time you are supposed to wait before talking to CIO. Just my personal thought only.

Hi! Regarding inquiries, CIC website says we will not receive a reply (regarding requests for case information) if we applied within the last 6 weeks.

Thanks Carl

You are welcome chanselay. Looking at the CIO Track sheet, it ranges from 12 to 41 days from date of receipt of application until CIO processed the payment. If yours has been 22 days already, maybe it is coming na very soon. CIO usually will process the payment first before they email you the AOR. Good luck!
