Hi everyone,

I have changed the protocol for joining the Sydney VO WhatsApp Group (for Family Class PR Applicants) to try and reduce the overwhelming amount of SPAM we have recently been encountering.

From now on, you can no longer join the group using the link I posted earlier (it has been revoked). If you want to join this group, you must message me privately on this forum, and state:

1. The PR program you are applying through
2. The PA's home country
3. The stage your application is at (submitted, AOR1, AOR2 etc)

Only then will I release the new link to join the Sydney VO WhatsApp WhatsApp group.

Also, only those phone numbers with area codes corresponding with the countries that the Sydney VO processes (as well as Canadian numbers) will be permitted in the group:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/international-visa-offices/sydney.html

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hey

yeah we received that email as well. March end, eh? that sucks -_-
Thanks for your reply!
They just seem to be in touch every three months with requests lol so I assume another three months and they might do a PPR.
So long as its done before May as we booked to travel although the application was received in July. Silly of us but cheap flights :)

Wait is killing me. Submitted my NZ police records and common law stat dec mid December and not a word.

Partner wrote to her MP in Manitoba and wasn't much help. Oh wel what can you do.

I've booked my flights for mid April so I'm going one way or the other lol

I dont get status approved in my application status. But message does says that “you have been issued COPR” both letters are same with same UCI etc. but there ia one more column for name where some Number is there. That number is chang in both of them. One e-mail came before 9 AM sydney time. Was wondering that how come
