A friend of mine who is Aug 21 is yet to get her MR. Any suggestions to what may have caused the delay?
only AVO has that answer for now, a lot of people have been skipped. we just have to keep fingers crossed and pray that those that were skipped will be revisited as quickly as possible.

Cheers

Kollins well said and seconded due to personal experience with AVO both means are acceptable and works with AVO.

I dont think Kollins said that both means work with AVO. Let us not send the wrong message or cause people's applications to be rejected or refused when this can be carefully avoided.

If Kollins mail is read carefully, you will note that he also stated that you can never go wrong with Courier if u are not sure which mode of delivery is acceptable. Put differently, you should either send eMail and Courier simultaneously or just send Courier to avoid the stress of scanning. Especially when courier will always be accepted.

On a lighter note, your courier parcel should reach AVO in max. 3 days and you will get proof of delivery with the name of the Visa Officer who signed for it so really, whats the rush?

Importantly, i must state here that as each case is individually different and timebound, when AVO specifically requests for Original document, THIS CANNOT BE SENT BY eMAIL. A scanned copy is not an Original document.

If in doubt, kindly conduct research on Original document to avoid being refused based on an erroneous premise.

Please be guided.

@ Deexplorer,

please re-read the Kollins message properly..
Its his own opinion as he said and i quote :

Personally, i always advice that applicants respond electronically and via courier service to be on the safe side of caution.
There have been couple of applicants who have responded electronically even before they send by courier.....and got further positive updates without bothering to send by courier....and there was no issues till conclusion of their processing.
That been said,this should not form the basis of saying it will always be accepted electronically if applicants sent it like that.
Like I said,explore both options as a parallel form of response.



THERE IS NO MIXED SIGNAL HERE AS HE USED THE WORD AND MEANING SEND SCANNED DOCUMENTS AND ALSO SEND VIA COURIER..

a good example is someone on this forum i personally know as she was asked for additional documents and she decided to scan and also send via courier to AVO. she was asked for her ppr even before the documents got to AVO via courier.

Always remember no matter the advise.
The applicant will end up making his or her own informed decision.
original documents can be scanned and the hard copy sent.
( Remember Express entry is all about migrating to digital form of paper work to was the process).
so Avo is more than happy, to receive both ways too even though i dentine encourage scanning, its still the fastest way


SO YES KOLLINS IS RIGHT and not sending mixed signals....!

@Bonblu- its really funny how i always get to respond to you first.

Again, you have misread my post.

Ofcourse, Kollins is right. I said that in my post. I was responding to another comment by a certain other member who seconded Kollins but may have misquoted him.

Kollins did not say that eMail or scans are always acceptable as this is down to the individual request from the Visa Officer.

I clarified what he meant which is that it is always better to thread with caution and send both eMail and courier.

NB: All applications are unique.
