Hi there everybody!

Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with all these issues and waiting.....and waiting...

This is what i have on my ecas

app received 7 Oct 2011
started processing app 19 Dec 2011

My wife is the sponsor, we have a 10 months old son, born in Canada. we have been living in Canada for over a year now. Is there anybody out there that also has a simple and straight forward application and does that help with the time it takes to process? My wife is Canadian, my son is Canadian and i have no criminal record and i am a healthy 25 year old.

Does anybody know what the situation is at Cic, why they are still at 30 April 2011?

Hi,
I was 5 months pregnant when i applied for the PR, my husband is canadian and he sponsored me. and my daughter was born just a year ago and i got my case approved for both stages this april. your case sounds very similar to mine, and you should be fine. just don't forget to update your son's info to CIC if he's born after you filed the application. good luck.

if almost all the offices in the province are closed except Montreal   ....what will happen to the time line for landing interviews   ...wow this will totally cause a significant delay for all of us in Montreal if that's the only office that takes care of trois rivieres, sherbrooke, quebec city applicants landing and stuff. What a disaster     ...almost at the finish line and now this http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2012/ob431.asp

The Montreal office usually takes a month to 45 days to complete a landing interviews...now are we loooking at years or monthssssss like CPC vegreville

I really hope I wont have to drive all the way to Montreal when there is an Ottawa office 10 mins from my house!

I was going to land in Gatineau, but I guess not now.

Hi,
That is good news! We send in the application 2 months after my son was born, so i hope and believe they have everything they need 

Thanks for your update! When did they start with the processing of your application and when did you 'land'? if you do not mind, will you please post what your ecas looked like when it was completed?
Thank you!

Dawie,

We're in a similar situation, we have a 9.5 month old and submitted our application 3 month after her birth!

What do you guys think, are we going to dip into August next with the AIPs and DMs?

[cililoca]

I hope so!!! I'm early August and very excited!! hehe E-cas has been checked a few times today so far hehehehe

We received your application for permanent residence on February 7, 2011.
 
We started processing your application on March 17, 2011.
 
A decision has been made and you will be contacted.
 
Medical results have been received.
 
We sent you a letter on February 20, 2012 to xxx Ontario, 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.
 
You entered Canada at the CIC Scarborough office on April 5, 2012 and became a Permanent Resident.
 
I got my PR card on June 12. they are working a lot faster than they were last year, so i think your case will be processed within a year for both stages if you get approved at the same time. the PR card however takes forever to come, so if you plan on travelling before you get your PR, find out all the info about travel documents before you go.

Of course that wil not help us Montrealers getting our PR faster...
On the other hand I bet a very high percentage of applicants are from that area anyway: its the most cosmopolitan area.
But still it will not help us for sure...

It looks like they are going to have only one office per province... The landing interviews will take longer to happen and we are all screwed... I'm not happy about it but there is nothing that can be done. I'm moving to Edmonton this month... Hopefully I'll have my landing in Calgary instead of Vancouver.

Congrats to everyone getting such great news. Finally...I have an update.

My wife got a letter yesterday saying that she is eligible to sponsor me.

My e-Cas says: "A decision has been made and you will be contacted."

I was hoping that my letter would come today, but it didn't. Hopefully soon.

I couldn't stand waiting for a letter so I called CIC yesterday. They told me I've been approved. They've transferred my file to the local office for the landing interview. Apparently the local wait time is 8 weeks, but that is ok.

Today I logged onto e-Cas and see the following:

We received your application for permanent residence on July 20, 2011.
 
We started processing your application on August 12, 2011.
 
A decision has been made and you will be contacted.

We sent you a letter on June 13, 2012 to xxx 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.


What a relief!

To those who've received good news lately, congratulations to you too. To those who are still waiting, hang in there. I know that checking in on this forum helped me out, but I didn't check it every day. I would have gone mad otherwise. Thanks everyone.

Woo Hoo!  I'll let you know when I get my interview.

My local office was closed too. My file got transferred to Calgary for the landing interview. My local probably would have been quicker than the 8 weeks expected for Calgary.

Oh well.

Hi guys, i went to the interview at Etobicoke Office yesterday, and I like to share with you guys, the interview was "OK", we stay together all the time, she asked couple questions, easy questions, and looked the documents i provided (joint bank accounts, Mortgage, Utility bills, extra photos), to make the long story short, my wife (the sponsor) she had a 2 years previous marriage, and divorced 5 months after she got the PR, because his ex-husband committed adultery, she caught him with another woman and she didnt accepted that! The officer asked direct to my wife's face! Do you married to get status in Canada? My wife said NOT! and she asked to my wife to explain why she divorced so fast! My wife explained to her all the issues of the adultery, everything!! she said ok, i dont have more questions, you guys can go and wait for the letter with my decision! I don't know what is gonna happen, the only thing I know is my file was transfered because of my wife's previous marriage! Have you guys know similar situation and what was the decision from them?!

Hi everyone,

Here's an easy way to draw attention to our wait:

http://www.thestar.com/special/article/1209992--the-star-wants-to-solve-your-problems

"Email us at thestarsubmissions @ gmail.com with a 3-5 word description of your problem in the subject line. We'll launch a week of solving your problems on Saturday, July 7."

I just sent them an email with the subject line, "Spousal class immigration backlog"

Great Idea!
