FYI, your inbox is full.

You can still request a refund for the landing fee (if you have paid that in advance). If you are confident that you will obtain your PR from EE then you can always request a refund and withdraw your PNP application now to get the full amount back. I did not do that myself because I had already...

Thanks :) Yes, it has been a long and rough ride but still worth it.

You can only request a refund on the processing fee if CIC has not begin processing your application. In other words, I can only request a full refund on both the processing fee and the landing fee if I haven't receive the AOR of my PNP application. Unfortunately I have already received the AOR...

On July 15 I have received PPR and sent my package on the same date. Canada Post was nice enough to boost my XpressPost to Priority because the package was received after their cut-off time on July 15. The package safely arrives and signed by Mr. Borgeat on July 17. On July 20 my ECAS status...

Yes, I will be requesting a refund for the landing fee (not the processing fee), so around $400-ish? I don't remember how much it was exactly.

Thanks :)

I would just like to share some good news with you all. Today I have received an email message in my inbox saying that I have a message in my MyCIC account. I logged onto my MyCIC account while my heart was pounding heavier and faster than ever, I downloaded the PDF message and found out that it...

I was speaking based on my personal experience with two PR applications, one a PNP Paper Application and the other is the EE PR Application. You don't need to email CIC-Sydney, in fact, they won't even respond to you. If you wish you may submit a case specific inquiry, but it won't get your...

I think it really depends on the officers. I always assume that not everyone in CIC follows the same "rules" when it comes to decision making. Don't get me wrong, they probably all have the same checklist to follow but for not so clear cut matters it is really up to the officers. When I first...

It basically means that they haven't put your application into ECAS and thus you cannot look up your application with either UCI or Application File #. Once an officer has checked your application for completeness and nothing is missing then it will be shown on ECAS and that's also when they...

From what I learned after CIC requested a PCC from Hong Kong to be uploaded is that all Express Entry application is being processed at Sydney, NS for the processing stage. This information was given to me by different call centre agents as well as confirmed from my MP who phoned to request the...

From the trend that I notice after additional documents are submitted they will take sometime to review it then will set your Background Check to Passed before making a decision to issue PPR. Good Luck.

Case specific inquiry takes 7-30 days + to receive a respond depending on the case itself, if it is urgent they will respond right away. I once submitted a case specific inquiry regarding my express entry application and got a respond in 7 days. On the other hand, I am currently working on the...

In any case, the PCC cannot be older than 6 months from now + whatever new rules CIC has changed. What you should've done in the first place is to submit an explanation letter in lieu of an actual PCC. This is clearly listed under the "?" when you upload the document for PCC section. In the...
