File still not at VO after a month.. what to do?

[pegasusyt]

So I got sponsor approval October 12.. didn't show that my file was at the VO on ecas but I figured I should be patient. I called CIC the other day to ask who I should inform about my change of address and they did inform me that my file had been sent to the VO and that I should contact them. I contact the VO to give my new address and turns out my file isn't there yet.

It's been 5 weeks....  I know for most people it took a week IF that for the file to reach VO. I have no idea what to do.. any suggestions would be appreciated

E-Cas should not. Be taken seriously. Once your file is forwarded to your VO, it takes about 90 days for the VO to send you an acknowledgement of receipt. It takes about 2 eeks for your file to reach the VO after sponsor approval. However, they probably haven't opened your file up etc. Be patient!

Thank you Admirable. I know, I never really took ecas seriously much.. and I 've been trying to be patient, but being TOLD by the VO the file is not there? I mean, this is their email:

Dear Madam,
 
Your application has not been received yet at our post. Please contact the CPC-Mississauga.
 
Sincerely,
xxx

 I mean, I don't think that means they got it and haven't had a chance to start working on it, I think it really means they didn't get it.. it's not a particularly high traffic VO. It's just so hard to wait around not knowing if the file was lost somewhere or not, when most people I know already have confirmation that the file has arrived at the VO..

Like I said be patient. I know how you feel but the VO has not started working on your PR App yet. Wait for your AOR. This process needs a whole lot of patience.
