Hi everyone.

Quick question for former refugee applicants who failed.

I want to know how you guys were able to renew the Canadian drivers license for those who are now PR under spousal?

My driver's license expired last year. I have a G full. I think we just have to go in person to the License Office and ask for a renewal. ;)

How long took to your husband to get the ARC? I just sent my ARC last week to the VO.

Hi pineapple87! You have every right to know where your file is, if it's being worked on, and what part of the process it is in. I truly believe that all VO's need to be more transparent about the cases they are working on. If the lines of communication were more open and consistent, less people would be freaking out and emailing them all the time. All VO's need to be held to a higher level of responsibility and accountability. They are dealing with people's lives and that is not something to be glib about.

This is where you can submit a CSE: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/mexico.asp

Under "enquiries" just click on "case specific".

Please let us know what they say. Good luck!
Hi ksimental! Thank you for your answer. I agree with you, if they would keep applicants informed of the status of their apps then people wouldn't be contacting them so much. But unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about that :(. I think I will wait a couple of more weeks and then contact them. I'll be be sure to share what they say!

That's a long time! But in the update, did it say file was received at VO in November or April?

Is your Vo rome or mexico? We went through mexico and if your through rome then the timeline will be different. After Aor we received arc after 2 1/2 mnths. We sent the arc beg. Of may. And i dont know how long it took to process since we asked them to send everything back together with the passport which they did.

My VO requested the ARC + fee two weeks ago, I just sent it last week. My wife and I hope to receive some news soon.

Hey everyone,

Just checked our ECAS and it now states that our Medicals have been received. We applied back in February and just found this out today. It's been forever since our last update (we still haven't received an official AOR from the VO that our file is in Mexico, but our MP told us it arrived on May 3 when we inquired with them), so I guess things really do take awhile.

Hang in there if you haven't heard anything, seems like the news comes when you least expect it. Hmm maybe they are starting to work on our file from the VO...

Good luck!

* AOR stands for "Acknowledgment of Receipt." It is an official document issued by the Canadian government that confirms an application for permanent residence status in Canada.

* MP - Members of Parliament.

* ARC stands for "Authorization to Return to Canada". This document is require when someone has been the subject of a removal order from Canada, for example when someone overstayed in Canada.
