Hi , I have a question perhaps someone encountered it as well.

My father was married previously however that is about 50 years ago. His wife died about 50 years ago. CIC is asking for death or divorce certificate. However we donot have death certificate and there is no way to get it as records were digitize afterwards.
Please only answer if you encountered a similar situation or know of someone who did and you were able to satisfy cic without a death certificate.
Highly appreciated if someone can help as only have few days to respond.
if you can advise the country or municipality he was in this can help others assist you ,a person cannot simply disappear from the grid if he passes away they will always have records somehow ,my father passed away 40 years ago and i was able to retrieve a document from the municipality and was provided a death certificate in sequence .

Hi everyone, I submitted my parents' sponsorship application in November of 2021 and haven't heard back since. Is this normal to wait for acknowledgment of receipt (AOR) for over 11 months? Please tell me I am not alone (only if it is true lol). Is there a way to follow up on the application? I can't use any of the online tools since my application has not been received yet.

Many thanks.

Hi,

You can ask for GCMS notes for it. I had submitted my parents application in Oct 2021 and hadnt heard till July. I requested for GCMS notes. Soon after that we received AOR. Not sure if there is any correlation or if it was coincidental but it is worth a shot.

We submitted in Dec 2021 and have had communication from ircc twice regarding some missing items. The correspondence showed that the file number had an X next to it which assumingly is a temporary number and not an AOR.
I know this isint similar to your case but i believe based on this we are still waiting for AOR without the X in file number.

I submitted my parent's application on 12th Nov 2021, there was complete silence till I contacted IRCC via WebForm (in August 2022) informing them that my parents are now in Canada. Since then, the file is moving very fast.

Hello,
I submitted my file in Nov 2021.
I was able to link up my file using GC key but no movement since then.
Still awaiting to get AOR or any progress on the file.

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help me with this.

My parents got the COPR and planning to land in a month. They are bringing Passport, COPR, financial evaluation along with photo of Jewelry they are bringing and some cash around 3K CAD. Not sure if I missed something.

We submitted our documents in Dec 2021 and received an email end of May regarding our address change. We have not received any communication since then nor have we got our AOR. Should we contact using webform?
Yes you should. It's not normal. By this time you would be able to get AOR for sure.
