    Submitted request for proof of citizenship… I don’t even know if they’ve got it at this point. Really freaking out

    I cannot say anything about notarization so someone else can chime in on that aspect. AOR can take months to come. If there is any issue with your application (you didn't submit required documentation, etc) then they will send your application documents back to you. Best course of action would...

    What to do regarding Oath date - living in USA under J1 Visa right now

    @smash1984 With in-person ceremony, they give you the certificate at the end of it. But yes, I am not sure how long they will take to schedule an in-person ceremony. @A_S Yeah I hadn't considered the holidays possibly delaying it. I guess I will go ahead and stick to my plan as it seems the...

    What to do regarding Oath date - living in USA under J1 Visa right now

    Hi, My oath was scheduled for mid December. The problem is that I am currently in USA under J1 Visa (working job here) for another 1-2 years and am working here so cannot stay in Canada for Oath, Citizenship certificate and then passport. I am thinking to do this: Travel to Canada before Oath...

    Ottawa Applications

    Congrats! Question: Does the passport get mailed to home or you have to go pick up at the passport office? If it's mailed, is it regular mail or passport holder needs to receive/sign it?

    Was your oath online on in-person? Did you get the test email from Ottawa office or Niagara office?

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    I had looked at last year's cases around this same time.... This is not a busy month... Everyone had gotten their COPR within a week. I am guessing the dharna situation and ongoing interviews caused delays. But now that both are done, we will see COPR's every day now. I just got the sms today so...

    Guys... Just got SMS that processed passport has been dispatched to Canada visa application centre. Please collect Monday to Friday between 9am - 5pm. Does this mean that it can be picked up tomorrow morning at 9am? Tried to call Gerry's Islamabad number but only automated message there...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    I did the same thing with my wife (change father's name to husband). We sent updated PP and CNIC to LVO and they were added to the application. We sent unattested photocopies electronically only. But it would be better to send attested copies via snail mail as well. GCMS notes confirmed they...

    Yeah I noticed that as well. Previously, that note regarding communication was only appearing if you logged in using PA's info. Now it shows up when logging in with sponsor's info as well. I think this was just be a fix in their software.

    Guys who got PPR recently (on Nov 1 specifically), please post when you get COPR as well. It helps others to estimate time and book flights accordingly. My wife submitted hers in Islamabad VFS on Nov 7th.

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Do you honestly believe that they would send pre-arrival email and then NOT approve the applicant? Come on! As MM345 mentioned, people got this email recently and got DM afterwards. So just sit back and wait for the update. :)

    Hopefully LVO keeps up the pace and grants many PPR going forward. I pray you and all remaining applicants get PPR soon and are re-united with your spouses. :)

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Medical is valid for 12 months. So you would have to travel before 20 June 2018. You are confusing 6 months with police certificate which is in most cases 6 months. Although CIC doesn't usually ask for it a second time.

    I am not sure where you got the information that it is valid for 6 months.... The visa validity will be listed once you get your passport back and it will be valid till the date that your medical is valid.
