AOR is OCT.13, started Processing on Oct.12, I have the same timeline with that two Aug.25th Applicants. I am starting to wonder why is it we do not have the same Visa Officer if that's the case.
I'm starting to get more and more concerned on how MVO decides on who handles this and that. It takes a lot of patience for us to control that little bit of jealousy, specially when we are expecting to have the same timeline as theirs and we know for a fact that we all go on the same process. :( But I guess, all we have to do right now is to pray and maintain our sense of positivity. I know this is very frustrating, but that's the least we could do. :)

No PPR yet for my husband. I guess they just tried to keep my hopes up after that Decision Made thingy, but yeah, hopefully we all get our turn very very soon.

Hi everyone,

I NEED URGENT HELP.

My husband was approved as a sponsor on 7th November and my file has been transferred to Ottawa for processing.

He received an email on Saturday saying that he is getting a refund of $75? Nothing else that is it, helpful as always.

Please can anyone assist with this?

We paid $550 in total so have we overpaid? Is it now being declined even though it was approved?

I have checked MYCIC and ECAS and there is nothing on there.

Thanks.

Hi, don't worry much about it. it happened to us, too, and received twice the refund letter. Probably what you paid is the...

Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner of the principal applicant or, where a transitional provision applies, a family member of the principal applicant who is 22 years of age or older $550

...and what you only need to pay is...

Principal applicant (spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or other family member) $475

Then soon, you will be asked to pay RPRF... Good luck!:)

I panicked too... I immediately searched online, what seems to be the problem and even bother my family in Canada what's going on. Then finally got an answer here. I really thank the wonderful people here. I know how hard it is to wait but that's all we can do for now.

Good luck! :D :D :D

Cheers!
