Glad to hear you received AOR2.

Was the request for additional documents sent as a pdf attachment?

Did you submit an NBI clearance already with the original application? If so why are you being asked to send it again?

Another thing, for applicants who are specifically requested for particular documents, does that reflect as a fourth line in ecas?

hi on the email, AOR2 was in a PDF form.
and on the first page where they listed what i needed to submit it seems that they only need the RPRF.
and there was a line that separates it from the messages.

i only saw the POLICE CERTIFICATES/NBI CLEARANCE on the IMPORTANT REMINDER part of the letter. so does that mean it is just a reminder or an instruction in getting those documents? that i don't need to pass them since they are not listed on the first page of the letter where they are requesting for RPRF?

i think they only need the RPRF receipt and yes i did submit my NBI clearance and POLICE CLEARANCE with my application :)
Hi sis congrats!;)

01-10-2016 COPR
Hi all,

Am applying for PR with my wife as Sponsor (Canadian)
Besides, on 4th August we go 10 days on a usual vacation to Calgary to be with parents in law, in the last 8 years have been already 10 times there

I presume that I will get the Decision Made of my Visa Office in July, and positive.
So, they would ask me to send (my country Spain is Visa exempted) the copy of some pages of the Passport, and then they will send to me the COPR.
So as you see for the dates, I would be going to Canada after the issue of the COPR. However this holiday trip is a tourist one. Because we want to do the landing in the end of the year for some professional reasons. (note: the COPR will have limit of February 2017 as per medical report, so there is no rush)
That poses me some questions:
Can I still land in Calgary in August as tourist , once the Paris office has issued a COPR ?
I have somewhere read that if I arrive to the airport , but do not show the COPR, so not making the “landing in Canada” procedures, then the “landing” is not activated
(note: maybe at arrival in the passport inmigration desk they have the info of my COPR in his computer)
Maybe there is another option that is: when I get in July the PR Letter request from the Visa Office to send the pages of my passport, then send them to Paris in the end of August (after returning from holidays in Canada) . Because is there any deadline days to send them to Paris ?

Yes, I somehow weird that having the possibility to “land” already in August, we want to land later, but we need to stay some more months in Spain to make money that make our life easier in Calgary after the real “landing”

Thank you in advance

Quick question to those who received their AOR2 recently. Do you have a line on ecas that says "we send you a correspondence confriming receipt of application" or something like that? I received aor2 couple of weeks ago and still no updates on ecas. Thanks!

I don't have it, and I received AOR2 a couple of weeks ago as well.

I'm wondering though if they send a request for additional documentation in the AOR2 email, would that show up as a fourth line on ecas?

Thank you! It also took a few months longer than expected. Mine went to Ottawa too, even though we were expecting Vienna. That seems to be happening a lot lately.

Hello everyone, hope you all doing great! :)
I sent my application in February 2016 and it was received in Pretoria in April 2016.
The last update I got was medicals received in April.
Do you guys have any idea how long it usually takes to process outland spousal applications in pretoria? and what is usually the next step after medicals received :)

Can someone please tell me what the acrynoms are? AOR AOR2 DM etc?

So far I got sponsor approval. And hubby's app was sent to NDVO in Feb and was eceived 21 March. The only update was 21 March stating his medical results were received. Nothing after that. Now we are into 6th month. What are these AOR2's and DMs people are talking about? Should we have heard something more by now?
