Hi ! AOR stands for Acknowledgement of receipt of the federal application that you send. It will give you your file number. This normally takes a few months and will be communicated to you by the Central Intake office at Nova Scotia, Sydney.
Your parents will come under Additional family members and there is a separate form for this called ADDITIONAL FAMILY INFORMATION in the application package. Normally only immediate family members like spouse, children etc will be mentioned in the IMM008.
As for the PCC, get it from the RPO it is easier and hassle free. In case your Federal application for to Canada is incomplete it will be sent back to you and you will lose many months so better be very careful to fill up all details correctly. Your Original Passport will only be requested by them at the last stage when they are going to stamp the Visa and you should not send it without them specifically requesting for it.
Please read all the rules carefully before you fill up and send your forms.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have some more questions please,
With regard to the supporting documents, should I send school Education, Secondary School, University certificates (During the initial application - they had mentioned to get them from the University in sealed envelope) Is that how it should be sent now or just the copies certified as True Copy by Notary will work?
With regard to the Employment history what will be the document required (is it only for the last 10 years)?
Will Income tax papers be needed for anything?
Is there any proof of funds to be submitted now?
How long does it take for an application submitted from India, some places it says 39days and some places it says 16 months.
Thank you very much for taking time to reply.
