VIENNA OFFICE

[Elleattend]

Hello all,

I was wondering if the Vienna office actually replies to emails/letters... I'm sponsoring my husband to come to Canada and I got approved as a sponsor by the Mississauga office back in February. Then, our file got transferred to Vienna. I never received an AOR from Vienna, however, so I'm not 100% sure that they've in fact received our application... is there any way to really double-check this? (Do the officers simply ignore the emails which state a "waiting time" of less than 14 months?)

Thanks for your help

Hi and welcome!

We received an AOR from Vienna. However, there are many who have not but this has not impacted their applications in any way. More frustrating than anything.

And as far as I can tell, Vienna will respond to emails. It may take some time but they will.
I have read stories on here from other members who have messaged Vienna and received replies.
Try emailing Vienna about your AOR. See what happens.

Take care

Hello Elleattend,

Sorry to hear about your situation, i remember someone on this forum saying they had emails from vienna end up in junk/spam folder and since then i had checked mine from time to time. As far as doing your medical again just proves that until vienna asks for it dont do a thing. Alot of us here asked about that thinking it will save time and now hopefully others will know not to do it on their own. When my wife had to redo her medical the doctor asked for a number. I thought it might be uci or app num but it turned out to be another number that was already on the form that vienna sent by email. It was already filled out. You were set back about a month and the cost of a third medical but at least now you know its over and the next email will be PPR. Its really been hard on all of us. We are now at 14 months and im guessing another 1-2 months before my wife gets her ppr and then visa and finally landing. All i know is who i wont be voting for in the next canadian election hahaha there is no excuse for people waiting this long and the way they run things in embassies.

Just hang in there and we should all be happy we have our health and the ones we love

I haven't been on in a while but a big congratulations to all of you who have received good news from Vienna. That must be a great feeling!

To the newest members in waiting, I would just like to encourage you to hang in there. Vienna really seems to be picking up the pace. Also, from my recent experience, I would also encourage you to check your email junk mail as often as you check your inbox.

Here's what has happened to us and I hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else. I am sponsoring my husband from the Czech Republic. We received a doc. request, in one single email, on January 9th, 2014 asking for the permanent residence fee, an updated schedule A, and an updated police certificate. All documents were sent to Vienna by the end of January and the fee was paid the day after the request. There were no further messages from Vienna. Our 14 months passed on May 1st. We then started emailing Vienna. They responded to my husbands email this past Friday saying that they were waiting on the medical that they had requested. My husband nor myself never received a medical request! I will add that we took it upon ourselves to do a new medical in November 2013 since ours had expired a few months prior. Good idea, bad idea...I'm not sure.
I decided to check MY junk mail yesterday afternoon after we found this out and sure enough, there was a message from April 9th, 2014 addressed to my husband telling him that they have been waiting for the new medical and wondering if he had done it? My husband never received the email! Even though he is the applicant, they sent me the email. Why? His email is obviously on file as he has received all other messages.

Bottom line...so much time has been wasted. Vienna communicates using 3 different email addresses. I am grateful that we are back on track but we are in disbelief over this process. The email in my junk mail had a different address then all the previous emails. I just think that if this could happen to us, it can happen to others. Take the time and check! We learned the hard way.

Oh, and Vienna still wants a ANOTHER new medical. This makes 3. We hope this is it.

Wow! I'm sorry

Thank you Milance. Sorry to hear about your experience as well. I guess I just expected better organization from the government. I guess we all have. Anyways you are right, we live and we learn. My husband and I are now just looking forward. But we definitely won't forget any of this! Can't wait to vote in the next election
I wish you and your wife a speedy PPR and landing!

 

[Elleattend]

Wow! I'm sorry

No worries I just don't want anyone to go through unnecessary delays.

Hi dear and welcome back to our company..
You are right by mentioning that Vienna communicates in 3 different emails so people here can take notice. Better is to create filters on your emailer in order to avoid issue like these.
I am so sorry for this waste of your time, I suppose you would have joined ranks with us by now being one with PPR (just got ours last week) but don't let this get you down...Send the medical in asap and keep in touch with them!

Dear Elleattend,
I am so sorry for this delay, but hopefully your file will get finalized soon. You know I was wondering many times what's happening with you as we had the doc requests roughly at the same time. I wish you all the best and a fast final stage .
