You have to wait for AOR in order to be provided with the file number for the application. It's taking up to 8 weeks now, so you just have to wait it out a bit longer.
you are still within the timeline. no need to rush. wait another week and we'll look at the trend again.
I'm not from Spain, but I'm from Colombia, so I know Spanish, in case you want to chat or something. I read on the August thread someone shipped his package from the UK and it took almost a month to reach Mississauga. If you didn't sign up for text message confirmation, there's not much of a way for you to know they received it. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, if you ask the company you used for this service, they could locate it after a lot of work. Usually it's not possible to locate it when it's overseas like this, unless you put a tracking number to it.
I'm Andrew. Yes, my wife in Canada (sponsor) called and provided some information about me and they found the application in their system. That was about two weeks ago, my file was received on July 26th and I got AOR on September 1st. You can call from time to time, give them the info they need to search for it on their system until they actually open your application. They usually start processing it days before you get AOR, two weeks before that or so. Firstly they do a screening to make sure all the documents are submitted. Then they process it for days to make sure everything is okay, no wrong info on the forms, or missing, or signatures, everything. Once they are sure nothing is wrong, you get AOR.
Thanks for pointing me to this but when I get to supporting documents, it says no supporting documents are needed—even though we've received the e-mail letter saying that Schedule A and criminal background checks are required. Anyway, I've uploaded it now through the general communications portal as the letter indicates.
My visa office is going to be Accra I believe. my file is yet to be transferred.
Any advice on linking my account? I've tried 3 times already and can't seem to figure it out...thanks!!
this is my advice as someone who has tried 50 times. try any combination as your brain can think of. after 5 tries, revoke your GCkey account, then create a new one. then try 5 more times. rinse and repeat.
