Hi guys... I was reading the previous posts and got a bit confused. Can someone enlighten me please? :D I have submitted my application online under family stream. My sponsor has yet to be interviewed. I'd like to prepare the documents in advance before receiving the LOA but I don't know what documents to prepare and where exactly to submit. I am residing here in Dubai and thought that maybe Visa Offices have different procedures depending on where one is presently residing.

Please correct me if I am wrong... Upon receipt of the LOA, required documents (whatever they are) have to be submitted via snail mail to CIO, Nova Scotia, right? What is then the role of the London Visa Office and Abu Dhabi Visa Office? Why are there file transfers?

I hope you don't mind, but can anyone please share their LOAs or just the instruction on what, where, when and how I must submit the required documents.

Thanks in advance... God Bless :-*

hi sset12 - i'm just confused, i got a call 2 weeks ago when they sent me the AOR, confirming my address. .. however up to now they have not send the MR. hmmnn they even told me they will send it through Aramex because I told them to send it through my residential address instead of my Philippine address (current mailing address at that time).

thanks auie for the good news...yes, we will receive our MR within this week. ;) ;) ;)

i felt relieved when you said we have the same receiver coz as per the Aramex website the destination is DUBAI (instead of AD) so i called them up to verify and ensure it was delivered in Abu Dhabi and not at the Dubai Canadian consulate office...it made me nervous that's why I asked you about it...
now no worries :) appreciate your time. god bless us all!
