janedel said:
yes, that's right if your application passed the completeness check then you don't have to worry anything and just wait for your AOR
Do they do a completeness check before sending out the AOR? I thught AOR stands for Acknowledge Of Receipt of the application sent in and that they will start checking it after receiving it?

yes they do the completeness check first before sending AOR. if your application is incomplete they will return your application package without the AOR.

Hi all,
I have a general question.
How long does it take to get Med. request after receiving AOR.
I am an inland applicant. I submitted my application on August 28, and received my AOR on Nov 21. I haven't heard anything about medicals. Anyone got their medicals yet?
I appreciate your input.

My friends who are April applicants just got their MR recently. It took 5 months after receiving AOR but they were ask to pay RPRF before MR. I hope it will be faster as the new year comes.

Hello mim,

You do not need to attach pictures if your parents and sibling. Whoever will come to canada they need their photo graphs to be attached and they changes size this month to 50*70 mm.. And they only need 2 photos. But in check list it still says send us 6 photos.. Its all confusing.

Mim,

I just saw this.
The back of one (1) photograph must:

bear the name and complete address of the photography studio;
bear the date the photograph was taken;
The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable.
