Inland Application 2011

[hatrang]

Hi!

You can check everything what they noted during the process and anytime you entered to Canada, or applied for any permit, visa etc.
Here is the link. It costs 5 (!!) bucks, and you need to wait at least 1 month. (I have not got yet)
At least we will know what is there problem ... (if it is any)

This is the document (no online way to ask it, but you can get the answer in email, it is quicker)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

I wonder if anyone has experience about ordering those info before.
I remember once I read in thread 2010, they said that if you check off one option in FOSS note order form, you need to pay money and it may also cause delay on your app. Without that option, you're ordering FOSS note freely and no delay on the app.
These forms above are different from FOSS note, but they make me doubt since hakri said (s)he has to pay $5. Is there any reason exposing detail info [by ordering those forms] will cause delay on the app.? Really wish to hear more info from the preceding. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

urgh!!! the bi%$# was not helpful at all!!! she didn't even pull up my file! all she said was that firs stage is approved and now just wait... i asked her to look at my file to see if there is anything else maybe second stage as well... and she said well, no, you received 1 letter which is first stage and that all you have... when you first call, you have to give your client number, so i would think when they actually answer, the client number automatically pops up right? she didn't ask me anything!!! I'm going to wait for my husband to get home and call under his client number, because when i look a e-cas with my number, the sponsor, there is less information than on his e-cas... i guess i can settle for the happiness of just first stage for now!

... in order for you to call for your husband, you need to have his writen authorization... :-(

[kdmosco]

yes canadiancitizen, i' aware of that... i have my own client id number, and i called under my own name, not under my husband, but still got nowhere... thanks for the info though, but i was told to just wait, that my husbands wouldn't be any different, but just to make sure, i'm gonna get him to call later today...

They seem to update in groups of two and three. I wonder if that is a single persons work for the week?
If so then there maybe only two people working on Inland forms this might explain why there are long delays
when it is holiday season.

there are some good agents and some bad agents, when i called, the agent also said according to the website blah blah blah, if i only need to know what the website says, i wouldn't call! so i insisted that he looked into my file and then he told me oh, your first stage is approved.....i was tempted to say to him: see? told you so! but of course i didn't. the point is some of them get so many calls a day that they just don't care....but i'm happy enough that i got first stage approved too.

I called them this morning, they said, they have not made any decision yet and I should wait for another month since CIC is taking 12 months to process first stage approvals  and I just passed my 11th month.

i bet it's BS...aren't there a few March people get approved? i think yours will get approved by next week.

Hope the below notes helps:

Yes, it is still "Decision Made". This is a standard letter that everyone gets after they reach AIP stage. You were approved for both AIP and PR. Trust me, I have studied this process enough to know what you are talking about and to honestly tell you that you are finished with the process. You just haven't got this last letter in the mail yet for second stage approval. That takes 7-10 business days to arrive.  And you won't get your landing date with these letters. Could take a few weeks to a few months depending on the local office. Right now, all you need to do is wait to get your landing date to become a PR.

Here is what happens when you get approved:
1) AIP approval: e-Cas shows "a decision has been made" and application status is "in process"
2) They send you a letter about sponsor eligibility being met, that you were approved for the first portion and can now apply for a study/work permit. This letter says you haven't met all the steps yet because this letter is ONLY for AIP approval. You won't automatically get a work permit in the mail unless you submitted one with the initial submission of your PR application to Vegreville. If you did, it would arrive with these letters. If you did and it still didn't come, contact CIC about it. It will be resent. If you never applied, you can now. It will take about a month to get in the mail after they receive the OWP application.
3) PR approval: e-Cas changes to now show "we sent you a letter to (insert address)" and application status changes to "Decision Made"
4) They will now send a letter to you that will arrive in the mail in about 7-10 business days. The letter will state that the process is finalized and that your local office will contact you for a date.
5) You get a letter or phone call from your local office for landing date. (This differs from office to office)
6) You will land. After a couple days after landing, your e-Cas will change to "Complete" because the process is finished.
7) You now need to wait for your PR card to arrive in the mail which takes almost 8 weeks.

Anyway, I hope this helps you some. You are just getting confused because you haven't got the second stage letter in the mail yet. You just got AIP letters. Maybe the other letter got lost in the mail but believe me, you are finished and now just need to wait on a landing date.

 Congratulations... you made me laugh!!! whenever I call... I became very cute, friendly, sweet... and they give me the information... but my husband cannot fake it... so he gets the same answer "we are dealing with February whatever applications" heheheheheh he gets so frustated... he dreams of telling them one day "go play in traffic!!!"

What is your application status says " in process"  or what?

[kdmosco]

Thanks

What is your application status says " in process"  or what?

under the 'permanent resident application" the status is DECISION MADE... and it says

'A decision has been made and you will be contacted.
 
We sent you a letter on February 12, 2012 to xxxx British Columbia, Canada, about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us.

I've waited a year already, i can wait another few days for the last letter!! LOL

Do we happen to know how many people  from 2011 got first stage and second stage at the same time?

[SMA.DE]

1) 6 months after sending the application is good. They take time to open additional documents.
2) Alot of discussion has occurred on this forum on redo medical all by yourself, whereas some has sent without asking by CIC in order to avoid any delays. Some were asked to redo medical later on and ended up on second stage. Some did not redo their medical and they still got approved. As it depends on Visa Officer to extend the validity of medical or not. CIC does not object on redo medical all by urself without asking them to so do and they got approved. It is upto your discretion to decide. Either way is fine.

Thank u Missha! Do you or any one have any idea whether cases with sponsors having high income (let's say higher tha the low income cut-off) have more chances getting both stages approved than cases with sponsors having income lower than LICO?
