If by good news you mean AIP and OWP so yes,lots of us got it

There is few bad news and i was so sad to see those post. For now i want to see good news hehehehe 
Well, i was just trying get rid of my nervous. Almost July, and its been almost a year since i start reporting to cbsa and on 3rd of july i have to go again. I was hoping they will give me more time till i get my sponsorship papers. Anyway! I have to cheer my self up for my kids. And of course with the help from ABOVE.
Cheers to all applicants! Whoooop i wish we are all in one side of this country so we can get together and celebrate!

Is there anyone knows how long before they open the additional documents and put it togther in file. Do i need to get police criminal check in local police here in canada? I didnt send it with my application i call before they told me they will do that on their own.

Hi All!
there is something I still don't understand..  when i go and check online all it says is App received on august 11, 2011 - under both sponsorship app and PR application.   everybody else in the forum seems to have:  app received on...   and then, started processing on ... etc.  Any ideas?   thanks so much in advance.  

When they get your application(August 11 in your case) the just put it aside for another month or so and when they actually move it to a different tray in the office( )they write the date they "started processing" it and send you a confirmation email(they won't process for 10 more months from the receiving date).
It doesn't really make any difference as we know the application arrival day is the important one.
Call them just to make sure everything is well and in any case if all is good with your application you will get good news from them in the next few days.

Thanks Avigtr for your reply.  All i got from CIC is an email a long time ago saying that they received my app and assigning me a client number.  I'll post any updates as they come.  Thanks again!

hi all,
so it was brought to my attention that if you go through immigration process
your self...chances are the response will be slow, however if you have a lawyer
things go alot faster and easier...

how true is that?...anyone has experience with a lawyer

I'm not so sure of that, I heard from many applicants that the lawyers sometimes forget to send the applications, ommit information, and since CIC send them all letters, sometimes Lawyers forget to forward the information right away... I would say that 90% of the applicants in this forum did the whole process by themself... is not that complicated, you have this forum to answer anyquestions based in their own experience... do not spend unnecesary money at less, you have a very very complicated case, of which you can go see them for advice only.

Hi All,

This is my first time posting although I've been visiting this forum for a long time.  It's been super helpful in trying to figure out this whole process. 

CIC received our application on August 4, 2011. 

I received news of acceptance as the sponsor on June 21, 2012.   On the ecas system it says decion made for me, but in process for my partner with the date of June 21, 2012 as 'began processing application' date. 

I'm just curious, as it seems that most people's applications have a 'began processing date' that follows closely on the application received date, whereas ours doesn't.  Also, we haven't received AIP which is what it appears most early August candidates are getting right now.  Any ideas?  Am I missing something?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

mine is like yours, if you click in decision made in mine it will say started processing september 27th 2011 but if you click in the in process button it says they started processing June 25th. I think it may be related to your second stage, but dont worry, if they gave you your decision made they are working on it just like everybody else!!!

If you already got your AIP, when you click "In Process," you can see when they started to process the second stage.

Thanks again! Another question coz I already sumitted our application just yesterday and I did enclose the letter u told me. Thanks much for that. I didnt had a chance to include my police clearance along the application coz I wasnt able to get it b4 I submitted the whole application. So how can I submitted my police clearance once I received it and where should I submit it to?

Hello yffAm,

  I'm not sure about that  , I know that if something is missing, like police certificate, they will send you a letter in the mail once they start processing the application and ask for it which slows the process down.

Where to go from here - I'm not sure. I sent everything with my application; so perhaps someone else on the forum can answer your question?

Otherwise you might want to ring the call center and ask. So sorry I'm not much help there. I don't want to direct you wrong.

You can send your OWP in after you send your application - you need to write a letter of direction, including your names, client #s, the OWP app and payment receipt, and a request that they attach it to your application. Also, include a reason why you didn't include with the original app (we just wrote that a lawyer gave us bad advice). Make sure it's polite, and succinct.

This is what we did - we sent the OWP about 6 months after the application, and received our stage 1 approval AND the OWP on the same day.

That's good to know! When I spoke to an agent at the call center he was adamant about sending everything together and said if I didn't then paying for an OWP after sending the PR app is like throwing away your money and it would be better off - at that point - to wait because it might not be processed at the same time and you very well could receive your PR approval before the other OWP is seen and approved.

 I was just relaying my own experience however, I'm glad to hear people can send it in later!

Good luck & thanks for the clarification Markm!

you can send your OWP upon receiving AIP....you will definitely need AIP as that will be the like saver while your second stage is in process. Your second stage unfortunately may not come as fast as we have seen it.

the reason is your medical was done in june 2011 and if you dont redo your medical now you will be asked to redo it later in September. your medical can be extended to 15 months which will make it expire in early September. Good luck...just a hint for you to avoid any delay

If i were you i will redo the med now as it will take 3 months to get into their system

Thank you! I was answering someone else's question about the OWP, I personally sent my OWP with my application  .
However your advice about the medical is very helpful to me!!! Thank you for the heads up qw123 Do you know where I would send the the medical into (I sent my application to Vegreville, would it be there with a letter attached with my client ID and yada yada yada) and should I wait until they start processing the application to send it, or go ahead and send it now? Because they might/probably start processing the application sooner than September...

that's fine thanks anyways..
I read some of the post in here saying that CIC will going to give u a client ID number once they process your application. so that is the thing I worry about coz I dont want to just send my police clearance in the immigration coz otherwise it will going to get lost. maybe the best thing to do is wait till they ask for it.. you think so?
