Hi Folks,
I have not attached my FBI clearance report with my PR package. I thought I will submit it once AOR is issued. I applied for my FBI verification by early Aug 2014, so far I have not received anything from FBI. Is anybody else facing the same problem? is there any contact number of email where we can ask FBI about the progress?

Since you have applied for BOWP a few times now, just wondering if you can share roughly how long it takes to receive it, and whether you apply via paper or online? Thanks!

Hey all,

I was hunting the web for an idea of how long it would take to get the AOR for my CEC application, I was starting to worry a little as hitting the 6 week/40 day mark. I've been checking my online banking to see if the fee has been taken out too. Now I know why... Hoping it will come later this month? Fingers crossed!

Just wanted to see I could be added to the September Tracking document?

NOC - 5131
Country of Residence - Canada
Country of Origin - United Kingdom
VISA office requested - CPC Ottawa
Date filed - 9/23/2014
Date received - 9/26/2014
Payment method - Credit Card

Also, wanted to see what the general turn around for an application being returned?

Updated :) Good luck

Seems you will be fine because generally application will be returned in a Month if any error found by Officer otherwise no issues. Wait for CC charged :)

Just for my piece of mind, By now for September applicants if we had missing documents or something was incomplete we would have been notified right? I just don't want something returned back to me after the long wait..

shekylla had a problem with the application and they sent it back almost one month ago. So yes, you should have received yet if there's something wrong with it.
