My husband (then fiance) crossed over into Canada with me on September 11, 2011 a few months before we applied in March 2012. We crossed over at the Thousand Islands Bridge by car. The border guard didn't ask many questions and my husband had a clear State Criminal record check from Iowa with...

If your record doesn't show on the the FBI check, then you're golden. You don't have to admit to anything. The one thing I would have done differently would be to have reapplied for another FBI check right after we submitted our application so it wouldn't have caused a delay, just in case they...

We've successfully went through the process and my Husband has landed. We ended up getting my husband's expungement documents so we submitted them after we applied (about 4 months, after I got sponsorship approval). When filling out the forms, since it was expunged, we put "no" for a criminal...

We've talked to the call centre so many times and specifically asked them to check the new system. None of the agents there could since they cut you off once you say that your file was processed outside Canada, then proceed to parrot back all their useless scripted bs they always say. Also, I...

Again...this is what we have done and it's explained in my prior posts here. 1. CBSA has contacted LA for clarification using their direct email and gave us a direct number to contact that agent. LA hasn't given them a response. CBSA has made a note in the old system on their end about the...

Also, the call center agents we have spoken to can only access the old system. Why is there a new system if nobody is using it except the visa issuing office? It just causes confusion and delay. If everyone needs the same info..use the same system. Doesn't make sense why even one part of CIC can...

It's not even the digit that's wrong really. His COPR is correct. The problem lies with CIC using a new system, but CBSA and Service Canada using the old system. Whoever re-issued the second COPR in LA should have updated the old system so that all systems across the board would be the same if...

We understand it takes time to get a SIN if they'll issue you one. I meant 3 days for a person at Service Canada's head office in New Brunswick to do an investigation with CIC..they have 3 people in that office who are allowed to do this. Their process of investigation with CIC takes 3 days. The...

We would also like to know how to make a complaint concerning CIC. My husband has landed and can't obtain a SIN number because there are 2 systems that cic is using. One is a new system and one is an old system. When they sent his COPR to the wrong address, the number on that COPR is listed in...

My husband went to land on Friday, Feb 22. All was good and we left the border. We went in to get his SIN card and there's a typo on the COPR specifically the Document No. There's supposed to be an 8 where a 9 is. The CBSA officer I guess didn't notice it?? So now, he can't get his SIN because...

Soooo into Service Canada we go this morning excited to get the SIN hoping the information is updated in the system. It's not. Whoever input the data from the COPR into the system made a typo and put an 8 where a 9 should have went. We called Immigration at the 1-800 number and they said we have...

Nope, the agent signed it and he has the stamp in his passport. She was entering information to get the SIN card in the computer and for some reason she was like.."there's no record of this COPR in the system" and said something that CBSA has to update it on their computer, then it goes to...

Just an FYI to anyone that may land here. If you don't have a passport photo to accompany your COPR, they will take a free passport photo for you at this office when you land. I know your photo should be attached when you get your COPR to land, but if you had a screw up with the VO sending all...

Thanks for the congrats all. Landing went smooth. We drove down and got to the border at 1 a.m. but didn't have a passport photo..so we stayed at the little motel there for a few hours before leaving to find a place to get a passport photo at 7 a.m. We needed gas so we crossed the border, got...

Got it!!! COPR!!!! We're leaving shortly for Montana to land. Have a good weekend all!!

We have an update! LA responded to my Husband's case specific inquiry today and said that they cancelled the COPR that was sent to the wrong address and have re-issued a new one today. They even sent a scanned copy of the package slip so we can track it online. Didn't even take a week to get a...

We did have the forwarding thing going, but we've lived here for 4 months now and we only paid for 2 months of forwarding through Canada Post. Los Angeles had receipt of our address change back in October. Our E-Cas had shown the change of address since October for both my hubby and I. We sent...

Our MP told us yesterday that our COPR was sent to our previous address in Ottawa on Jan 16th. I don't know how they could've screwed that up since we changed our addresses by mail, online and again when we sent the passport pages to LA after we got the PPR. Even our E-Cas had our current...

Waiting on COPR from LA, decision made almost 3 weeks ago...is it possible they could have sent it to our old address? We had changed our address months ago before PR request through e-cas, by mail and also included our new address again when we sent in the passport after the passport request...

We can't log into E-cas either, neither could our MP's office using our information to try to access it.
