LANDED! Exciting times. I just happened to be back in Texas visiting family last week and my CPR came to my wife's parents house in Toronto while I was away. It also just so happened that my sister-in-law was coming down to Texas as well the next day, so they gave her the paperwork, she handed...

Hi everyone, I've got great news (I think??). Just received COPR. I say "I think" because I'm a little confused, this came much earlier than expected, totally out of the blue. We've had no other updates since my wife was approved as sponsor. No passport request or anything. Is this normal? I...

Ok I just received an email from CIC. They said just to notify the officer when I land and they will fix it there. Shouldn't affect anything.

Thank you! Yes that's what I was thinking. I'm still waiting to hear back via email. The strange thing is I never received a passport request. This COPR came a lot earlier than we expected. Do they not always send PPR first?

Hi all, I just received my CPR, very exciting except I lost my passport a few months ago. I got a new one and sent the updated information to CIC but it must've crossed each other because the CPR has my old number on it. It just happens that I'm visiting Texas now scheduled to fly back to...

Whew! Finally! Got AOR on aug 16 and SA on aug 19. I just got back from two weeks out west in Banff (so beautiful!) and so haven't had much time to check this thread, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! Lol

Hey everybody. I just have a quick question, we sent our application to Ottawa (which needs to be updated on spreadsheet) on July 19 and haven't heard back yet. Getting a little worried since other ottawa apps have received AOR in shorter times. Does anyone know what number we can call to check...

Excellent, a chill spot is exactly what I need, after putting together that application. Now nothing to do but chill! and try not to think about it lol. Thanks for putting this thread and the spreadsheet together. here are my stats: Medicals: 6/20 App sent: 7/18 Received: 7/19 I'm...

great thanks Namaste

Don't want to start a new thread so I'll just post this here, currently the cic site says FBI takes 16-18 weeks. Is this true? So long! Any way to expedite this?

computergeek you are amazing, most helpful member on this forum! thanks! How does it work with CPP-O, do you have to explicitly choose that as your preferred VO or does it go there by default?

Hi everybody, I've spent the last hour reading through this thread, very informative and lots of hope for us future applicants...congrats to everyone who has made it through this process. I'm an American, I've been living in Ontario since last August. My girlfriend is Canadian, we are...

thanks Creampop. regarding what you said about the tix, I was afraid of that. unfortunately the round trip ticket is already bought, so buying a one way ticket home is sort of my only option to show proof that I will leave. Do you think they will ask for my itinerary on the flight I just got...

Re: Love or Opportunity? thanks for the links! wasn't implying that you were wrong, just was honestly curious. only recently started following canadian news closely

Re: Love or Opportunity? just curious, can someone link to the "recent news media" sources that this topic has been mentioned in? haven't really heard it discussed much personally
