VIENNA OFFICE

I don't think that's how it works. I think you have to fill out a form online in order to add emails as means of communications. I think you can do it somewhere on the same page as you can see file process (application status). I'm 99% sure that you can do it from there (where it says "update mailing address").

I have recently updated my address through the webform on the Vienna VO website:

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/austria-autriche/visas/contact_visa_contactez.aspx?lang=eng

Follow the link to "update information", then use the link to the webform in the section "permanent residence" section.

They replied to this within two days, acknowledging the change, and it has even been updated in eCAS. This was just for the regular address, but I don't see, why it should be different for an email address.

Thanks a million Avissa, My sponsorship approved on March 22. do I have to send my email addresses to their Email Address?right?

Hello

It will ask you for your husbands file number and you must select Permanent Residence in Canada in the Enquiry area and then in the box bellow write your enquiry and simply inform them of your new email address like so:

Dear Sir/Madam
My name is xxxx xxxxxxx and I am writing this to inform you of my new email address: Please update my files

Hello Tom:

Thank you so much. I have seen you applied same time as me, but what is the stage 1 and stage 2. and how did you find out about the dates like 9/8/2013? I didnt get any thing that called AOR. what's that?

Thanks again.

 

[Avissa]

Don't worry about AOR (Acknowledgment Of Receipt). Some people get an official notification and some don't.

 

[Avissa]

Hi Tom,

Long time no see (any messages from you here). How is the little one?

Hi my dear little_apple, thank you for asking. Truth is I am reading this thread daily but for some time now I had decided not to post unless needed because by repeating the same things all over sometimes it can get nerve wrecking and all these because of Vienna's stubbornness to make a step towards solving this long wait!
Aspa and baby are both fine. Currently I am on a 7 day business trip to Hungary just half hour from Vienna...Irony?
How have you been doing? Anything from your side of the fence?

Regards, Tom

Hello Irsa

I hope this has worked for you!

Stage 1 is when you get your AOR or SA from Mississauga
Stage 2 is when you actually (if ever) get some sort of acknowledge from Vienna. In my case the date mentioned (9/8/2013) is the day when they finally told me after much insistence from my part that they have my files. I had sent them couple of emails demanding to know that they can at least assure me that our applications have made it to Vienna.
I am very aggravated with this whole story and the way they treat us when al other VO's are keeping a contact with the applicants even when they have long delays.
We are already well into December for God's sake! Honestly and I mean this! If they contact me and tell me that I will have to wait another 6 months I will be fine! Because then I will know something. I have deconstructed our lives in preparation to move to Canada and we are in limbo just waiting for our great Vienna VO to make a move! But all to vain!

You must forgive me for my angry tone but every time I write here about Vienna I get aggravated

Keep hoping!

Tom

Hi Tom,

Hi Avissa

We are ok, thank you! She is growing up and now is 2 months old and becoming a real beauty. She keeps me going happy

Hi Tom

no news here. I'm really busy at work. Christmas in retail (European store) is more than insane. My job changed in November. I am finally working in the office full-time instead of part-time in the office and part-time in sales. So I am really happy. I am where I wanted to be since I've arrived in Canada. But on the other hand it makes me even more nervous because of my work permit which is only valid until the end of March 2014.

I'll request GCMS notes before Christmas and I hope they'll show me in January that my file is in process. I don't want to lose my job. I worked so hard to get the job position I have now :'(

Thanks everyone for the warm wishes :-*. Apparently the mailman in Hungary got confused and sent back our correspondence from Vienna to Vienna. LOL. It would be strange if things started to go smoothly now hahahaha.

BUT! Vienna e-mailed us saying ooops, our APPROVED PR was sent back and they are re-sending it, should arrive in two weeks! So YAAYYY it's approved and on it's way.

We will be reunited mid January.

Is anybody else in here coming to Ontario or is it mostly the west coast?

Hiya

Good to have a job to keep you busy friend! I would never survive in sales as it is a very demanding profession ;D
I am good in to providing services.
Although as the time goes by things with Vienna look pretty bleak and pessimistic, I am sure that deep inside we all feel this hope that they will finally come to their senses and start giving PR's. So that's why you shouldn't lose hope and most likely your PR will come before your permit expires

Best regards

Tom

Canhun, Nada,

I'm in the GTA too, Etobicoke. When we all get 'home', we should all get together one day. Good memories are born of good stories, and I'm sure all ours are noteworthy! =D
