To get AOR, all signatures in the forms as per check-list, supporting documents, payment forms are mandatory. Rest of attributes are evaluated at central Visa officer after AOR.
One of my friend also forgot to write names in native language however he is in PR status now. All the best..
why the signature need be in native language ? or need be in both, I just write in native language, not in english . some place in english .

I have just sent mine on 9th Sep, got confirmation that they have received it. I was wondering people are saying I shouldn't have sent it on the same day on which I ve" complete exactly one year which was on 9th Sep 2014. Is there any issues with that?

Congrats as per link provided below you are above benchmark level for NOC O & A. you are good to apply PR under CEC.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/language-testing.asp

In last 5 months only around 3000 applications have been received by CIC. As per current trend even if you submit application in December this year, shouldn't be any issues but earlier is the better..

Correction: Around 3000 COMPLETE applications have been accepted by CIC. Considering it takes around 60 days to receive AOR, there's quite a large backlog of applications waiting to be acknowledged.

Hey guys,

So I need some advice. I sent my PR CEC and it was received Mon. the 15th. Basically my post-grad work permit expires in a few weeks and I don't know what the procedure here is: do I receive a bridging visa, would I have to leave...? I'm still working full-time, etc. As far as I know, I can apply anytime before the expiry of my post-grad work permit, but would they recognize its expiry and give me implied status? What is your guys' experience with this or any tips would be welcome. THANK YOU!

Hi guys, almost done gathering everything - will be applying today/tomorrow.

Just a little confused with copies/orignals for Identity and Civil Status documents. It says I need to provide copies.

Now for translation of my national passort and birth certificate - should it be a copy or original?

For certified copies - should I put in original certified copy (with notary seal) in or include a copy of it?

For Declaration of Common law union - should I put in original or copy?

Please advise and good luck to everyone!

The way I see it is: if you can easily get them, send the original. If you'll have problems getting them again, send a copy.

Nothing will be returned to you unless there's any problem with your application.

So, IMHO, I'd send the original translations and certified documents (if it's a copy I doubt it'll be considered as a 'certified copy'). For the common law union you can see in the checklist that it says copies except for the IMM5409 which says original. So send the original IMM5409 and copies of the supporting documents.

Good luck.
