Guys i have a quick question hope u can answer What is it?

Earlier i had recieved an email from VIsa Office stating:

Dear _______
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received at the Embassy of
Canada in Manila on 13JAN2016.
A file has been created with the application number noted above. Please ensure that you quote this
application number in any future correspondence with our office.
Due to limited resources dedicated to processing the thousands of applications currently in process, we are unable to respond to requests for status updates on your file if they fall within the average processing times.
Interview
You are not required to present yourself in person at the Embassy unless you are specifically requested to do so or specifically convoked to an interview. A decision will be made by an officer regarding whether or not an interview is reasonably required in due course. At this time, no interview has been scheduled.
If an officer determines that an interview is required, you will be notified at a later date. You will be notified in writing of any requirements for your interview, if required, prior to the date of the interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that time.
Change in circumstance
Please advise by fax or email if there is a change in your personal circumstances, or the personal circumstances of any of your family members. This might include situations such as the birth of a child, a marriage, a legal separation, annulment, or divorce. (See our contact information below.)
You are required to report any changes in family composition for members of your family (whether accompanying you to Canada or not) without delay. This includes situations in which your or one of the children included on your application has become the parent of a child.
Please be advised that paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations excludes from future sponsorship any foreign national who is not declared/examined at the time his/her prospective sponsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If you (or any of your family members) fails to declare and present for examination any family member as defined by the Regulations, then you (or your family member) will not be able to sponsor that undeclared family member at a later date as a member of the family class.
Subsection 1(3) of the Regulations defines “family member” in respect of a person as (a) the spouse or common-law partner of the person; (b) a dependent child of the person or of the person’s spouse or common law partner; and (c) a dependent child of a dependent child referred to in paragraph (b). Please consult section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations for the definitions for “Common law partner” and “dependent child”.
All family members, whether or not they are accompanying you to Canada, MUST be declared and presented for examination to assess whether they are admissible to Canada. A false declaration on your IMM5406 (Additional Family Information form), any failure to declare a family member, or failure to present a “family member” for examination may be found to constitute misrepresentation and may render you inadmissible to Canada.
CHANGE OF STATUS. Should any of the following circumstances apply to you (or any person included in your application), you must immediately inform this office, for further action:
 Change of address, including change of e-mail address (for any family member including children who may have a school address as well as a home address)
 Change or cancellation of immigration representative; or
 Request for withdrawal of your application.
 change in marital status by reason of marriage, divorce, separation, annulment or death;
 death of applicant, dependant(s) or sponsor;
 birth of a child;
 change in health
 the laying of any criminal charges or conviction for a criminal offence;
 change in your mailing address and / or telephone number
Please send information by email to: MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca
Failure to inform this office of any change of the above may render you and your family members inadmissible to Canada.
Communication by email
We will communicate with you by email where possible if you have indicated an email address in your application or an enquiry. Therefore, please ensure that you provide us with a valid email address and that you check your email account regularly.
Consent & Disclaimer: By supplying your email address (in your enquiry or in your application), you are initiating an email communication with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), and CIC is thereby authorized to use the email address provided by you for communication with you including the transmission of personal information on your file/case. When you supply your email address to CIC, it is also understood that you are aware that this channel may not be a secure channel. CIC is not liable for the disclosure of personal information to a third party where CIC has taken reasonable means to ensure the identity of the party. CIC is also not liable for the misuse of this information by a third party.
Use of COLLECT COURIER
Our normal means of communication for larger envelopes is by COURIER COLLECT given the increased speed and security of delivery. Passport(s) with immigrant visa(s), Confirmation of Permanent Residence Form(s), and/or original documents that we are returning to you will also be sent by this method. At the time of delivery, payment must first be paid to the courier company before they will release the package. If you do not wish to pay for a costlier international shipment, please provide a delivery address in the Philippines.
All requested documents, unless specifically instructed to submit an original, should be sent as an email attachment to MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca. Please ensure that you follow these guidelines:
 Documents must be in PDF format (.pdf)
 Documents must be readable and easy to view
 Each PDF file document must not exceed 2.0MB
 Each PDF file must contain only one type of document. If several documents/forms are
requested, save each type of document separately. For example, if you were requested to submit completed IMM5406 Additional Family Information forms for yourself and your spouse, your completed form must be saved in one (1) .PDF file extension name and your spouse’s in another PDF file
 If your submission includes a cover letter, this must be saved separately in one (1) PDF file
 File name of each PDF file must follow the following format: Application number>Last Name>Given Name>Type of Document (eg. F000123456_CRUZ_Juan_IMM5406 Additional Family Information form)
Documents requested in its original form, e.g. police certificates, must be submitted to thru either of the following options:
1. Visa Application Centres (VACs)
For more information, visit http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Philippines/index.html
2. Courier
To: Embassy of Canada ATTN: Visa Section
Level 6, Tower 2, RCBC Plaza 6819 Ayala Avenue
Makati City 1200 Philippines
Email: MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca Website: www.philippines.gc.ca
Please submit documents by ONE method only. Sending documents through duplicate or multiple channels will result in processing delays.
Due to the volume of enquiries, we are unable to respond to email requests to confirm receipt.
FEES AND PAYMENT OPTIONS:
Effective April 1, 2015:
“You may also pay all your fees online at: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?land=en. Upon successful completion of your online payment, a PDF receipt will be sent to the email address provided during the online payment registration process. Please retain a copy of the receipt and forward the receipt to the following email address: [MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca]. The email to our office must include the following information:

Maybe try asking in this thread:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/new-manila-visa-office-philippines-spousefamily-timeline-t325837.2310.html

It might only be related to your VO or how they send their AOR2, or try to call CIC.
I am myself quite paranoid, so I would be on phone all over :)

Good luck :)

76 days and still no S.A. Called again yesterday and the agent was like oh, you called last week, you just gotta wait. Really p**d off.
I know how you feel. It's been 93 days since I applied. I had to put in an extra document so I just wanted to know if my waiting period was restarted because of that, or if it would be processed soon. But I guess that was asking too much on the phone.

They told me, "Mrs. J, the 62 days is considered an AVERAGE, so it is NOT guaranteed that it will be processed within that timeframe. You just need to wait."

Really helpful...
