****This is a Batch Note: A request letter or e-mail for a an updated schedule A and IMM5406 was sent on 2016/06/01. As the correspondence was sent via a BATCH E-MAIL and LETTER APP (BELA) there is no copy of the letter or e-mail attached to the application.

I called CIC a while ago to ask if they had received the police certificate they requested (same PCC request letter that many of us got). When I asked the agent if they had received my documents, he said said yes, and when I asked what the documents were, he said 'Schedule A'. I told him I didn't send a Schedule A and he said, 'well, I have it here'. I don't know what his screen looks like, but I assumed the PCC I sent checked whatever box they were looking for. I couldn't get any more out of him after that.

Couple days after that call, I got a CIC note saying that the documents had been received (and presumably satisfied their request).

Don't know if that is useful to you. Was there a separate note about the Police Certificate request?

Agree with profiler though, those are easy ones to redo and upload.

Hi every one what is the next step after receiving the A OR please advice

 

[Djwaters1985]

How do I add myself to the spreadsheet?
I mailed my app on 6 July and it was received on the 7th.
I received a letter (AOR?) stating they received it on August 2nd.
My medicals aren't submitted.
When will I receive a second one and what will it be for? Apparently I also need that for OHIP.

I applied for OWP today.
Will I need a medical exam for this? Also first time I did the questionnaire it says pr0cessing times were 8 days online? Now all I can find it 9 weeks

OWP is supposed to be filed with your inland app. Otherwise they will hold it until they send you AIP.

AIP or employment is what OHIP needs. It's hard to guess when that will come out.

Oh bugger, would it have been processed before AIP if I'd sent it at the same time?
I am in status on an extended visitors permit until january

Yes. If you submitted the three applications together, they would have sent you an OWP in 4 months.

Since it was filed after, it won't be released until AIP unfortunately.

That's not true. You can still apply but only with a paper application sent to Vegreville. After you AIP you are able to apply online.

I haven't heard any news about the permit not being released until AIP and there are at least a couple instances of people on the Inland spreadsheet who sent their OWP application separately.

It'd heard from others on here that they had to wait... Not that sending it in was a bad idea, because they may still issue it. But other posters have said they will not issue them until AIP.

So anyone who has been watching the mess around the PCC's go down, and has read my rants about getting the PCC might find this interesting.

Some happiness in the profiler household yesterday, when we received a registered mail slip with my wife's name on it. You might guess that there was a Police Certificate at the other end of that slip. So, the posted times for processing PCC's from the Russian Consulate in Toronto is about 60 days. We got it in 2 weeks (including the translation). They issue them there, so it's not sent overseas.

I found it odd that they seem to have missed her murder conviction :-X

CIC processing work permit extension (new employer) applications received may 17, 2016.
It passed the date of my aor. I dont know why there still no update.

I hope that this isnt the case.. I also thought that there were a few people that sent them in separately. I just sent my OWP off to the Alberta office last week. I didnt send it off with the permanent residency application because after spending all the money on the PR i couldnt even afford the extra $255 for the OWP. I did however send it with the receipts for my PR application AND the AOR letters that my boyfriend and I received from CIC to prove that our application had been received.

I guess we will find out in 4 months if this is the case. My current visa runs out in the middle of April next year so hopefully i have an answer on OWP or at least AIP if that is the case!!

 

[bex0987]

Thanks Profiler. Will redo Schedule A and IMM5406.

Browning911 did you not receive the emails that they said they sent?? If so that is worrying.. how are you to know other than requesting the notes that you needed to do anything.

Had you send in the additional family info form? What more could they want from it if you had!

Some on this thread have received AOR 1 & 2. I only got 1 AOR sent to me (my wife didn't get one). That was the only correspondence they have sent us, aside from the PCC request. When I login to myCIC I can see that BG checks are in process. I also note that other's had also supplied upfront medicals (like we did). They seem to have ignored the medical, too.

There has been no progress on application received after 29 March'16. Fortunately, the OWPs are being issued as per the timelines! However, it would have been nice to see the AIP too.
