Hello There and welcome to October 2015

Most of the October Team on this thread have received their AOR and SA - mostly by email, however there are still a few of us still waiting for both or just one ( including me -SA ).

You can always try to log into Ecas by using your receipt number if that doesn't Work then you will have to wait until CIC asigns you a UCI Number, this you will received in the mail or email once AOR is granted.

Also if you have your current UCI number when you landed or the UCI number of the sponsored person you can log in with those numbers too

Good luck

Hello friends!

I need som help.

If my application is Outland, Do I have to be outside Canada to receive the PR? Can I send the passport to some CIC office in Canada?

Thanks for help.

I didn't get AoR in the mail or via email. I randomly checked online and basically saw I had AoR and they'd sent me other documentation (which I've now received). I'm still waiting for SA myself. I suspect they'll mail it. CIC isn't very consistent in how they handle the cases (we provided email addresses on our applications).

Usually, when its time for PR, your passport will be sent to the VO that is processing your file. Since OUTLAND means - your case is being processed outside of Canada. In your SA email, u will c the VO that is gonna process your file. thats where ur passport will go when its time for Visa issuance

"Outland" doesn't always mean that your application is processed outside of Canada. I am in Canada and my application is being processed in Ottawa and I did the Outland application. I am not sure how it all works though. I was told that applicants from the US that are in Canada have their Outland applications processed in Ottawa. I am from California and just glad they didn't send it to Los Angeles.

I am confused about the sending of the passport. Is it something everyone has to do? What do they do with the passports when they get them? It's scary to think it could get lost in the mail.

Hello TracyCa64

I want to know if it is possible to send the passport to other office in Canada because I read before from someone in other forum that because he was in Canada, he could send the passport to Canada office in Ottawa. I want to travel to Canada but I don't want to have to comeback to my country after 3 months just to hand the passports. Also, I feel scary to send them by mail. I called to the VO but I can't talk to any agent :(

And.. I don't remember the topic neither who wrote the message.

And I want to buy my tickets now!

Hi Catherine!
I am sorry but I really don't know anything about sending passports. It's a question I need to have answered. I don't even know the reason they need the passport. I also wonder if someone is from a visa exempt country will they need to send their passport also.

Yes, like needhimback mentioned, maybe Scylla or another senior member can answer our questions regarding sending in our passports. I know as I move through each phase of this process I will have lots of questions.

Have a great day!! :)

That is a good idea! I bet Ponga or canuk_in_uk would know. Hopefully you can get an answer and maybe I can find out why we need to send in our passport.
