Inland Application 2011

[Azsereth]

I'm wondering at what point we send in the request for CSQ with MICC?  I assumed we had to wait to hear something from CIC (and I think they told us that the last time we called) but now I'm starting to wonder.

I am also living in Montreal and have a permanent residency application being processed.  Our application was received July 29, 2011, and I received correspondence on January 11, 2012 asking us to submit the undertaking application and notifying us that we had to send them a CSQ.  If I recall correctly, this was their way of prompting us to apply for the CSQ, which we applied for immediately, and received on January 31, 2012.  I believe Immigration Quebec sends them a CSQ directly, so you just keep the one they send you for your records (it's specified in one of the letters they send, so you can double check).

I also wanted to express my appreciation for the Google document maintained by Johanna...I first saw it a few weeks ago after going crazy with worry, and seeing other family's progress is such a big relief.

My timeline information is as follows if it can also be added:

We received your application to sponsor XX on July 29, 2011.
 
We started processing your application on September 7, 2011.
 
We sent you a letter on June 18, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Hello everyone,

                  I followed this forum for a long time and got lots of useful information  here.

                I checked my ECAS this morning finally it changed to DM.

                We received your application to sponsor XXX on August 17, 2011.
 
                We sent you a letter on July 5, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

               Anybody can tell me what is this mean? I never get anyother letter  before this.  Does it mean I get AIP  or what?

Thank you qw123 for your prompt respond. I have contacted immigration office few weeks back and they told me to send paper application only :-(. Pls note that my sponsorship application was received by immigration on November 03, 20122 and they have started processing on January 19.

Kindly advice me the needed documents for OWP paper application

Hello! Hope youre doing fine!
You didnt send your Owp application with your pr application? Im having finding the document requirements for owp.

im fine and tx for asking
It;s not an obligation according to some people on here as CIC can do that on their own without asking you..they can ask for out of counrty police check but no for in canada... But can take little more time if you let it upto cic and delay the overall process. Personally, yes my wife did hers (RCMP) and she did it electronically (as the agency has that option aslo) and after 10-15 days she received the certificate or clearance letter which we added to the app and sent it out at once So that cic can have the result ready in seconds when they need to. we did not send actual prints or card as we did it electronically....but the clearance letter has her prints anyway.

some people here have been waiting for CIC for at least two months for CIC to check with RCMP the police check, I am assuming the are people who did not do it by themselves. Others have DM right away when other things checked out fine without any delay on police check, these are people who probably did the in canada police check on their own like myself and sent it out.

who can tell their stories and time line on it so we all make sure if cause further delay or not.

Hello again,
I just called one agency for finger prints here in our place to book for appointment. He just told me to wait for the letter from the cic to do the finger prints what did your wife brought there when she did hers.?  Thanks

she brought nothing but fee payment so money only and passport or other identification...you dont have to wait for anything...just go and tell them you want to do RCMP for immigration purposes. that's all. no cic id is needed so dont even bother. just ur name and address.

Hey congrats, have you paid your landing fees or they asked you to bring it with you ?

Hi Guys,

Question...
I got AIP and OWP and meds where approved .I read somewhere in this forum that it is recommended to pay the "Right of Permanent Residence Fee" so when they send you a letter for the next stage you wont wait another 3 weeks for the landing interview.
Will it help making things move faster??(I want to travel in September  )
Thanks in advance

Is there any late-July or August applicants who got the second stage approval after getting AIP?

It seems like Immigration Canada stopped working on the second stage of the applications....

The chart shows that the second stage historically takes about a few days after AIP but there have been a lot of people who are waiting longer for the second stage approval...

I hope they are not slowing it down!!!!!

Please share your thoughts.

Congratulations!!!

Thank u for your reply. I actually called the call center before i sent out my application. She said cic will do in canada police check but i found out in this forum it may delay the process of having DM so i was thinking if i can send my in canada police check with additional proof of relationship. I just dont know how long before they open it as my application was recieved on october 11.

I'll add my experience with the fingerprints.  We did not send a local police clearance with our application and let CIC do it.  Our application took 11 months to get AIP.  Mind you we were a very straight forward case and my wife has a very uncommon first and last name so that could have helped

I know!! My AIP and work permit were sent out on June 13.. (App received July 25 2011)
Waiting for mail desperately! It should not be too long from now! Stay patient..

I feel like that was around the time where they stopped giving the first and second approvals at the same time...

They did not ask me for any additional documents, and they are slowing down the second stage process for no reasons....

Please update us when you get your second stage approval, because you are probably gonna be the first to get it once they resume their work.

Cheers
