Like dfb, the process for one of my U.S. states (CO) was online and not based on fingerprints. I printed the results and included them with my application. It was also unclear to me at the time if such a printout is generally accepted, but it was the best I could find. In my case, I also did...

Re: Processing times @ Los Angeles e-CAS was the best way I found to track my application status. Sometimes, however, I have received correspondence from CIC before any information contained in it was posted online. For intsance, my status online reads like yours at this point (except that...

Re: Processing times @ Los Angeles My application was also transferred to Los Angeles on October 21 and the visa was approved on November 4, so the processing time in Los Angeles in my case was only about 10 business days (!). We were really surprised at how quickly it went. Our case was...

Today we received a letter from the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles requesting my passport. My visa has been approved! Yippee!!

Congrats, piscesman! My application was transferred to the Los Angeles office on October 21. We hope that it goes through as quickly as yours did!

We felt that our application materials spoke for themselves. Woven into our responses was a narrative of our relationship. We included information about when and under what circumstances we met and how our relationship moved from friendship to a long-distance relationship, to living and dating...

We paid $445 U.S. (roughly $460 Canadian), which included the office exam, blood and urine lab work, chest X-ray, and submission of the doctor's report to CIC.

Hi Artymow, It looks like my application was filed just ahead of yours. I sent it in on August 18. Hopefully we'll both move through the process smoothly. Have you entered your data in trackitt? Good luck with your application!

We received the first word from CIC today! The Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was approved on September 25, which is 38 days after CPC-M received our application. They are forwarding a copy of the Application to Sponsor and the Application for Permanent Residence to...

Our problem was that the application materials did not include much information on the definitions of "certified translation", "accredited translator", "certification (notarization)", and "notarized (certified)", all of which appear as terms in the materials. It was not clear what Canadian...

We also did not include a cover letter. We organized materials in our application into groups based on the way the document checklists group the materials, and we included a title page with a table of contents for each group.

I organized my application materials into 5 groups: 1. Document checklists 2. Sponsor forms 3. Immigrant forms 4. Sponsor supporting documents 5. Immigrant supporting documents Each group had a title page which listed the contents for that group, and each group was slid into a clear plastic...

In my case, the doctor was aware that I am in the excessive demand exempt category, and he had experience with the application process of others in the same category. Part of what he was required to do (apparently) is to mark down any irregularities in my heartbeat. Perhaps this information is...

My DMP heard a heart murmur and marked it down on his form. He indicated that CIC may require that I visit a cardiologist to determine the severity and possibly get treatment, if the condition is serious, as a prerequisite for visa approval. He recommended that I wait to see a cardiologist...

I sent wedding photographs on photo paper and copied everything else (letters, travel photos, joint rental contract, joint bank account statement, etc.). It didn't look to me like originals are required for the proof of relationship items. Like shamrock, I also labeled everything carefully...

I am a U.S. citizen, and my husband is a naturalized Canadian citizen. We currently live in the U.S. and would like to immigrate to Quebec. My application for a permanent resident visa is to be processed outside Canada. We sent in the application on August 18. It arrived at CPC-M on August...

I purchased photos which were sized for U.S. passports and then cut them down myself at home. Appendix B in the country-specific information for the U.S. gives the dimensions. However, the diagram it shows does *not* match the stated dimensions, at least on my printout. I used the stated...
