@Jez

AOR = Acknowledgement of Receipt

Some people get them and others (like us) don't. It depends on the visa office processing the application.

I really wish they would start giving more updates on application status so that people would know what is going on. What did the charge your card for and what was the amount?

Thanks Aroundtown22, that makes sense.

As we'll be living in Quebec, we had to submit an undertaking application to the Quebec government and pay the Ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles (MICC) $250CAD for this extra step. I'm a bit surprised they've made a decision so early as I've been reading that Quebec applications can take an extra 6 weeks to process... So we're very anxious to see what the result is!

Ours is still unavailable to this day and we just got letter from Moscow embassy saying file has been in process since Oct. 11th.. So just because system is not updated, doesn't mean nothing is happening necessarily :)

Bringing positive vibes your way! :)
