Does anyone know? I've "landed" before while waiting for a work-visa to arrive in the mail and border services could print it out on the spot (even though it was through an outland embassy) Can they do the same with a COPR (i have received confirmation that it is in the mail) Kind regards,

I am wondering if Vienna is going to return my Marriage Certificates, Police Reports, stuff like that. Does anybody know?

Good morning mighty fine forum fellows, This morning ECAS showed me the much anticipated "Decision made" on my file, with the notification that the Visa Office would contact me regarding the decision...which they haven't....yet. So what is to be expected next? Is it safe to assume the...

Good morning all, Does anyone know when the Background & Security Check start? I understood that there are two levels to this; 1. The criminal background check, based on police certificates 2. Security Clearance. (Where they check your name with known creepy organisations and such) My file...

Dear Forums, I just got word from my MP that even though all the work has been done, that my background check is still pending. It was a bit surprising since they have been working on my file for a while. Anyone have any experience with this?

Dear experts, After a long process, i did my re-medical on january 22nd and today they showed up on ECAS. Is there any indication on how long it would take from now on? I assume it's in Vienna's best interest to finalize the application to help with their statistics. I heard that the only ask...

Has anyone ever seen this before? I noticed the second "Application received" last month, but didn't think much of it. However, this morning, one of the applications says: Withdrawn We received your application for permanent residence on June 13, 2012. We started processing your...

Hey Fellow Immigrants! I have been in Canada for a while now, and although i already speak 2 languages (Dutch and English) it is becoming very clear that knowing French is going to be a HUGE asset for a new Canadian. Now, i have recently discovered a learning tool and it has been amazing so...

Good morning all, I just got a request from Vienna to fill in form 5406 again, i am assuming this is because my marital status has changed, but i do have another question. Although my mother never remarried, she has been in a common law relationship for over 20 years. Do i add my "Stepfather"...

Question. I applied in June and got married in August. A few days after i got married, i send the VO an e-mail saying that i was now married and not "just" common law. In Ontario, it takes about 3 months before you can apply for your marriage certificate, and yesterday (3 months on the dot) the...

Hey all, Just a quick question. I applied in June 2012 (Common law), and got married in August and as advised, i e-mail CIC with this information (Added a few pictures and such) However, it takes a while before you receive the actual marriage certificate, do you think CIC expects me to send...

Hello all, Another question! I just read on a somewhat hidden section of the CIC website that your police certificate has to be send in no more then 3 months after they were issued. Mine were about 5... Should i request new certificates and send them in along with the file number or wait for...

Good morning fellow wannabe-Canadians. I have a question and maybe you can link me somewhere or give me a short description. What is it exactly that the VO do with your application. I was under the impression that Mississauga checks your application to see if everything is filled in and sends...

Hi guys, Just a random question while waiting out my PR. Do CIC officers look at your history when going over your file? I've been working in Canada for almost 3 years straight now on Work Visas, will that be in my favor at ALL? I like to think it shows i have been contributing to the Canadian...

Good afternoon all, My (now) wife and i applied for a sponsorship in June as Common laws and got married in August. We did mention it in the paperwork that the date was already set for that day, but since we were officially "common law" we checked that box. The CIC officers redirect me to the...

Yesterday i received my letter. MY work visa is denied, because i did not receive my LMO (yet) It took CIC 2 weeks to process my application and it takes HRSDC over 2 weeks to open their mail and give me a confirmation number. Due to this, i'm fucked. I had to call my boss this morning saying...

Hi all, Here's another Relationship Proof topic. I've read all the others and they seemed to be more "She's living here, he's living there" kinda thing. In my case, i've been living here for 2 years already (Living together) and we have all our stuff together (Taxes, Mortgage, Insurance, Bank...

Can anyone tell me the reasoning why HRSDC is making such a fuss about the extension of a Work Visa? I have held my job for almost two years now, but i have to keep applying for temp visas until my PR is done (Which takes forever) in the meantime i got engaged here and pretty much have my entire...
