I am in Montreal so the AOR is from the local office or the Sydney office , i though that the AOR is first then they sent the application to the local office , can someone clarify the step of the process , thanks

Thanks Buddy but do they decide the visa office themselves? Coz they have not asked me about which office I want to send my file to.

They decide themselves, based on your address.

Exactly, AOR is sent from Sydney and later it's transferred to the local office.

Wait until it shows up on the ECas and then call the customer service and ask them to fix the names. I think you can only update the Address online in Ecas, but you can't fix the name.

Just a public service announcement for everyone in here from another hopeful April 2017 applicant...

Make sure you have a significant buffer on your physical presence calculation. I prepped my documents months ago. Circled the date on the calendar. And I mailed it off a few hours ago. And then I realized that the calculator hadn't saved one of my trips. Instead of being eligible yesterday, I'm not eligible until tomorrow. If I had a buffer, I could have corrected this with a letter at a later date. Instead, I have to deal with the prospect of having my application rejected.

I'm going to call CIC tomorrow and see what my options are. I assume I'll have to wait until they've received it, given me a case number, etc., and then withdraw the application. I'm hopeful that I can then file a correct application in April with all of you.

But please, PLEASE, don't make my mistake. Have a buffer. Triple check the forms. Have friends check it, too. Can't be too careful.

I received my AOR from my original application today. No idea if my withdrawal letter arriving a day after will save me from having to pay again. Not sure what to do at the moment. Just waiting...

 

[zineb83]

So how did you recieved the AOR if the calculator is incorrect , I though that they return it to you so you can re submitted once again and why you should lose the payment it is done you can forward to them with the same receipts or just write a letter expalin your mistake , maybe a senior in this forum can help you , good luck me I am still waiting for AOR ?! At least you have one step done good lucks

Hello everyone

Anyway, I have some question about income tax information category

Thank you in advance

Yes you must check the required years and taxes filed as well.
