Inland Application 2011

[cililoca]

It's been 2 weeks since I got a call from Vegreville, to fax them a page I forgot to fill out, but until now I have not news of my file, even if the agent told me everything else in my application was done, and that he will be sending me the letter in some days.

I'm calling and calling but they can't see anything on my file, just that it's in process. I hope they won't take another month just to include this page to my file, I really really want my AIP, it's been a year since I submitted my application. The call center agent told me my file was transfered to the supervisor in Vegreville, because I have exceeded the processing time...which I don'T understand very well, but it doesn'T matter, everything I want is my AIP, Please CIC think about my case!!! That's everything I want.

I'ts just so depressing, the worst is there is nothing I can do. I'm at home everyday, which is more depressing. My husband and me have plans and goals we want to achieve but we can't because of all this....!! . I see him everyday, how he works in something he has never done before, how he wakes up earlier than never, how tired is him when he arrives home, sleeps a couple of hours and then goes to his evening class.. And I can not help him. It is assumed that a couple should both help each other which include a financial aspect, but I can't!!!!!

I think I just should be patient, but after a year, I can not be patient, no more!

CIC could you please think in my case, too???

I understand you completely, that's how I feel as well. We have to do our best to keep our sanity, it's very difficult but there isn't another way. I wish I could help my husband financially but I also can't, it's very frustrating and sometimes it feels worse and some other times we deal with it in a better way. I wish you all the best and I hope they process your application soon.

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can advise on this, but if you could, it would be much appreciated!

So my wife (applicant) and I (sponsor) applied for her PR back in Sept. 2011, with her home country's passport that expires at the end of October 2012. When we initially applied, the processing times were less than they are now, and we really didn't think about her passport expiring before we got her PR.

Now that the time-frame is a little longer, we're debating about what to do about renewing the passport. Officials from her embassy are coming to Calgary (where we live) in April for passport renewals, but otherwise, we'll have to fly to Toronto to the have the renewal done at a later date.

I'm not sure if it's possible to have a passport renewed while the PR application is on-going, and if this is the way to go? Or should we wait out the PR process, which could potentially take us fairly close the expiry date on the passport.. (or even past it)

Thanks for any help!

Definitely get it done in April. Then all you need to do is send a copy of the details page from the new passport to Vegreville.

Put the copy in an envelope with both the applicant and sponsor names, date application was received at Vegreville and client ID (if you have one). The write “Time Sensitive document, please add to my file ASAP”.

Put that envelope into another one and address it to:
CPC Vegreville
6212 – 55th Ave
Vegreville, AB  T9C 1W5

Basically, the earlier you renew her passport and send the details off to Vegreville, the more time they will have to attach the new details to her file to avoid delays.

I was in the same situation. I filled my application on June. 2011, and my passport was valid till april/2012. I called CIC and they told me to renew the passport and send the copies with my client ID, and a cover letter asking them to update my new passport #. I sent the copies last January and I
Called them last week ( 2 months after) and they already received it and had attached on my application. but you will need your Client ID, if you dont have yet, call them and ask for. in this situation they will provide the client id # for you.

thank you :-) ...  We got it before DM letters, in fact I got it in March 22.

Really?! Is it because you paid the Right of Permanent Residence in advanced?
I paid it yesterday and sent the payment receipt with some requested documents and 2 photos to their office in person. Thought that it will be faster and besides, sometimes Post Canada lost the mail. Anyways, I hope to know when my landing interview appointment will be!!

Good luck!!

Hi, Taoqi,
Thanks for sharing the information!
I phoned them today for applying the Health Insurance Card, except the things you mentioned, they also asked me to bring my husband to verify our home address. Is it the same to you?? Or, you brought something else to prove it?

Hey all,i've been losing alot of sleep recently, i was given 90 days to send in aditional information and my police check, (which my registered mail said they recieved on monday), i was just wondering do you think cic will start to reavaluate my case at the end of 90 days or before, checking cas is driving me nuts, im a bag of nerves.

If anybody has any experience with having to give additional info/documents/police check, and have an idea of the timeframe i would be glad to hear your story, thx Leo.

Hi,
I had this same issue about a couple months ago. I also live in Calgary. I renewed my passport for sure, and set them a copy of it ASAP. I filed in August 2011, and my passport was expiring January. So do renew your passport and send them a copy ASAP.

Hi everyone,

I'm new on here. Have been reading the forums for sometime now, but just made an account. This site is really useful.

My application is filed on August 2011.

[Berber_amazigh]

Just called Cic and they confirmed my second stage approval on the 27 of March!
Thanks everyone!
