So my husband's Swedish PR still is valid? I was previously told that once he leaves Sweden and gets his Canadian PR, that he would automatically lose his Swedish PR. So now I'm confused ::) . . . I don't know what the case is now???

Ah, okay, so what your saying is that E-CAS is unreliable!!! ;) LOL!

How about E-CAS? When do they usually change "in process" to "decision made"? For those of you who have received your passports back what was your experience with E-CAS? Did they updated it before you received your passport back or was it after? Thanks!

At the time of the interview, my husband's first medicals were valid and good. So at that time he did not need to redo them. However, as the expiry date of the first medicals were approaching, we began to worry, so I called the IO in Sweden and asked him what are we to do. He advised us that...

Hi Syedd, The IO gave my husband back our pictures. I believe that's all as everything else was a photocopy. I have the original marriage certificate. After the interview, the IO officer told my husband that he's sending the application back to London for a routine background check and he...
