@ Poetic - Unless there is a reason for you to have an interview its likely that you could be processed within a month or 2..I have seen lots of people going through London with fast time lines recently, I know somebody that got PPR after being in process for only 3 weeks! And they applied common-law!

Thank you Poetic! Hope the rest of your app flies through smoothly..... c'mon CIC!

OMG!!! I got an AOR!!! (well I think this is it)

I just checked the snail mail and there was a big white envelope with Buffalo file number stickers inside along with the "generic" photo copies of instructions. They also returned our original marriage license. I still cannot login to E-cas for Buffalo and have not received anything from E-cas tracker either.

Odd thing is that they did not ask me to send the FBI certificate..well, regardless I will sending it with the bar-code sticker ASAP..darn Monday is holiday!!

Sounds like AOR to me, you will probably get another letter/email asking for your FBI Certificate..they dont need it until they have assessed your relationship and admissibility to Canada..then they look at your medical and do a criminality check...I would recommend you send it now though
Congrats

Congratulations!!!! See I thought you were gonna be next. Funny thing is we got e-cas update but no AOR yet....in a meanwhile, you got no e-cas update but an AOR. Hmmmmm.....Where are you located?

 

[jancath410]

Ok, I take it back.....my husband just called and told me that he rec'd the AOR, bunched of bar codes and his birth certificate. YAY!

 

[kkim604]

what's AOR?

still no PPR for me... :'(

 

[britincanada]

AOR is acknowledgement of receipt...most High Commissions send a letter with bar codes to confirm that your case is "In Process" in the Visa office that is responsible for your country of Birth/Citizenship ...I say most because I know CHC-London doesn't send them

 

[kkim604]

so the letter with my wife's case number and stating that it is in process, would be AOR?
there is no bar codes though

 

[britincanada]

Yes the Sponsor gets AOR when they receive conformation of Sponsorship approval and the Applicant gets AOR when the Visa office notifies the Applicant they are now working on their application..dont worry about the bar codes not all visa offices are the same for some reason, it may mean no additional documents are required or the Korean Visa office may not use bar codes..that are not all that important, its the case file number that's important if you need to contact the Visa office.
