Thread For applications Through SYDNEY (AUSTRALIA) Office

[lynw]

I got a proper paper letter from Sydney today! I guess that is official AOR for me then

It just says the usual, and not to contact them for sixteen weeks unless circumstances change.

Anyone else heard anything?

Ecas says mine is in process as of 6th August..yippeeeee. I emailed Sydney re the wrong spelling of my name & they got back to me the next day...pretty impressed!!
No AOR received yet but not too fussed as I know the application got their in one piece..phew! ;D

Hooray, that's a relief!

Yeah, the paper letter is nice to get but as you say not fussed - we know what they say anyway, because of all the helpful folks on here

Thanks Lyn!! I'm thinking we may just get ours before that Christmas deadline..woo hoo! What sort of extra documents did they request if you don't mind me asking. I sent in two police checks & my medical stuff & I'm racking my brain to what else they may request??? Cheers.

Fingers crossed for christmas!

They didn't ask for anything, but our app went in minus a couple of things that really should have been there. We gave alternative evidence which I believe would have been sufficient anyway, but when the "proper" stuff arrived (delayed option C and one other minor past-history thing) I sent it on. Hopefully there's nothing else they could want/need. I thought about sending em chocolate but it's too hot

Aaah that's great, thanks for the info Lyn!! I'm thinking more along the lines of champagne...surely they enjoy this..hehe.
Good luck, can't wait to hear some more good news from you..yay.

Good news! So, last night, just before midnight, I was just saying "still no email from Sydney"..... then checked it.... email from Sydney. Hyperventilation time!

PDF letter with request for passport! Still in shock, will be sending it off today though I hate letting out of my hot sticky paws.

That's outland processing in less than a month folks - Sydney staff, we love you!

I'm 'in process' now. I like the sound of the Sydney office!! Things seem to be flying down there, which is really good news. Just fingers crossed that my application is on target!

I know a couple of you have sent passports, just a quick question - how did you send them? Normal post? Congratulations to those who are almost there!

Congrats on your PPR!

I sent mine express post, and they sent it back normal registered airmail, only took a couple of days. However now it is stuck in customs which "can take 3-4 weeks". Hope yours is faster!

 

[midnightmav]

ha I'm jumping the gun actually, I have not received it yet! Just was wondering the best way to post it when it comes time!
Fingers still crossed! Thanks for the info

I sent mine via Canada Post Priority Express. I paid $65 but it is one of my most valuable possesions so well worth the money. Plus, Sydney CIC gave me 30 days to send my passport in and 15 days have already past. Good luck, hoping you get good news this week.

 

[midnightmav]

Thanks!

 

[midnightmav]

Seems I jinxed myself. Sydney requested more documents. I was wondering if anyone knows the mailing address in Sydney? I am not sure where to send the docs. I might email them and ask also. Cheers guys.

 

[raucy]

C'mon Sydney...hurry up with Midnightmav's application!! Fingers crossed for you. The weather must be getting better and they're all sunbaking at Bondi!!

the address that I sent my passport to is:

Consulate General of Canada
Quay West, 5th Floor
111 Harrington Street
Syd, NSW 2000

Good luck
