Thread for September 2010 Applicants

So this "AOR" thing, is that the letter they send you saying your application is now at your visa office (example: Buffalo) and they give you your Immigration File Number?

Yep Some people get them and others don't. Some people get them right when they arrive at the visa office and others get them a month before they are issued their visa. I think it depends on the immigration officer (IO) that you have. More people than not get them though.

eCAS is a service where you can check the status of your application online. This is the webpage:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/
You will be able to access it with your sponsor's information when a decision has been made about your sponsorship application.
According to what we've seen, sponsorship approvals are sent in a month or less. You should be able to access it if you sent your application around 30 days ago

Hiya,

I am sure it does when you are right at the bottom. The next week should be good news. Good Luck to all.

Have couple of questions please help if you have the responses.

1. If the PR is granted does it specify that one has to enter canada before say a particular date or a month something like that ?

2. If I travel to canada well before the specified time can I leave the country again in a few days say weeks. I have few things to settle back home.

3. Regarding sponsoring my parents after getting my PR, can I sponsor my parents even though I live outside of canada.


Many thanks for your responses in advance.

Hi 7secs!

1. Yes, you will be given a deadline to land in Canada. Usually, they set a date to land before your medicals expire (1 year).
2. You don't need to stay in Canada, you can go back to your country right after you land. The only problem is that if you have your PR card sent to a canadian address you'll have to ask someone to pick it up for you and send it to you so you can come back in.
3. You need to be in Canada to sponsor them.
