Hey! I sent it yesterday, but they got my app this morning so I think I count as a December applicant! Who's with me?

Hopefully sending our application this week. I'm putting together the package today. Hope you guys noticed that the IMM0008 has just been updated. I started working on mine weeks ago but thankfully someone pointed it out on this forum, so I'm filling out the new form right now.
Good luck to all!

... What. I totally didn't notice that. I Literally JUST checked. Seriously?

Theyre gonna send my whole application back. It wasn't changed the night before I took it to the mail. Oh my goooooood. I cant even.

 

[canusa13]

I wouldn't worry. You have already mailed it and they have *just* updated it. I'm sure there's a grace period when they accept old forms. If you're still stressed, maybe give them a call (if you have a couple of hours to spare to stay on hold haha).

So with AOR, I'm just waiting on an email, right? Like, sometime in January I'm sure, but. It comes via Email?

My Sponsor received our AOR via email. I didn't receive anything to my email, but I think it is because he is sponsoring me.
Good Luck and keep checking!!

Well the call centre wasn't helpful. They were just like well it's up to the officer who opens the application you'll just have to wait and see.

 

[canusa13]

Hi there I send my application last Dec 3, 2015. I'm worried coz I didn't put any conversations or emails in my application as a proof in our relationship. Do you think the VO will consider my application? Thanks

May I ask what you submitted as proof of your relationship? VOs usually look for evidences showing that the relationship is ongoing so the non submission of the convos may raise a red flag. Some VOs are kind though and may give you a chance to submit additional proof if they find the ones you sent insufficient.

Photos, card, remittances and my plane ticket. Hopefully my VO is kind though
