hi ragluf, can i ask you question, my application was received last may 1, 2013, and until now, no reply of AOR from CIO-NS, my worry is, our MPNP nomination will expire this July 4, 2013, what will be the consequences if there's no AOR until on the expiration date of our nomination? Should we call the immigration to follow up our application? thank u
Make sure you have proof of submission and receipt of your application (via courier tracking etc.) to CIO-NS before the nomination letter expiry date. This shows you have submitted and CIO has received the application well before the nomination expiry date and expiry of the nomination letter should not affect your application.
As to the AOR from CIO-NS - If you did not use a representative, and all correspondence is sent to your email address, then check first your email folders. If you are sure no message is sent to your spam folders from CIO in your email, then proceed to contact CIO-NS. Have proof of receipt (i.e. courier tracking information, person who signed for it etc.) to identify the parcel/package sent to CIO-NS.
Do a search on cic.gc.ca first to find out information on what you can do. Information on how to get case-specific information from the CIO-NS is in the website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/sydney.asp
