I have submitted my application ro sponsor my wife on April 27, 2016. Got Aor in May 20, 2016. File was transferred to Sri Lanka in June 2016. And since then, both sponsor and applicant sides are showing in process when I log in. My wife hasnt received any AoR2 or any application number. I'm only able to use my UCI and apllication number from Aor1 to see updates. Is this normal for her not to get a letter? And also what method will the colombo visa office use to contact her? We only provides her phone numver and address but no email for her as she doesnt have one. Would that be okay?

Hey if you are the sponsor u will get the aor frm canada if you are approved then the file gets sent to vo colombo anf with using application and uci number you can check and it will tell you when they started processing in colombo.. It os normal for her to not get any letter of aor... But if they request additional info they might be senting it in mail so dont worry... I applied to sponsor my huband on nov 2015 but still no pr from vo colombo

Hi I applied to sponsor my hubby in May 2016.
I want to know if the online status will update all the time if we passed or if they are currently checking the medical, background, and security?

Hi luci, np... my link application under additional documents in blank even though we submitted beginning of march and even on the site my application doesnt mention that we submitted the additional documents.. I think most cases they dont update that..
Hi,

I too think that the "my acc or linking our application" is not helping us a lot... i saw many member are not getting any real time update on this forum....and my application shows different status between notes and linked application....notes says some accurate details where we stand on our application.
