Received my 1st AOR March 21st as well!!


Question for anyone here..do you think its worth going ahead and starting the process on police clearance just yet without receiving the AOR for the additional documents since the police clearance certificates are valid one year?

That saves a bunch of time by the time the second AOR arrives which shouldnt be too far from the first?

Makes sense? Thoughts??

Received my AOR on 21 March, at around 3am.
Anastasia P - my common law partner who is in the spreadsheet received her AOR at the same time. Please update the sheet :)

Also, congratulations to everyone who received the AOR's. I didn't want to think about applying next year.

Question: How does the process work now? what are the steps involved between now and getting our parents getting the PR?
