Thanks SchnookoLoly, actually it makes me sad there are still people waiting from 2014, I hoped we'd be the last. We were lucky enough to come back last year - not sure if the others are in as fortunate circumstances, I hope so. It's a long process and seemingly random as to how long someone's...

COPR ARRIVED AT LAST!! From December 9th 2014, to April 29th 2016 - it's been a long journey and finally my partner received his COPR in the mail. We've been living in Canada since August 2015, we'll be presenting at a border later this month - good excuse for a road trip - then finally he can...

Thank you!

Hi all, our process started in the UK in December 2014: I am sponsoring my partner. We moved to Canada in August 2015, in September he had a request to provide police certificates from the US and Israel which took months to arrive. We finally sent them off early February. Finally I checked ecas...

Hi Andrewbrit, Yes - originally we were in the UK - moved back to Canada on August 17

Hi Andrewbrit, just got your note asking if we'd any updates. Yes. On September 9 my partner was emailed and asked to provide: copy of his decree absolute police check for Israel (he worked there for several months several years ago) FBI check for the US They wanted everything within 45 days...

Ha ha love this - I disagree right back at you! I never said anything about warm and fuzzy and I never said there was anything wrong with a form letter. There's a HUGE difference between the rote turn of phrase used in many government and business documents and basic plain English. Example of...

You're right about it's a 'prove what you said' request - they should make it clear that the sponsor needs to provide proof once he/she has moved back to Canada or once he/she has proof of the moving back date. The fact that this part was never made clear is another irritation. I am not uptight...

Thanks Taffy and Aquakitty! Yes very annoying but we really have no choice do we? Makes me wonder the types of people who apply for those jobs.... Jonesy

Thank you all. In our December application I said we'd be moving back to Canada in August and had my friend send a notorised letter stating I was staying with her and she was going to help me get my business going again. I have plenty of proof so I am not concerned about gathering it, just a...

I am gobsmacked. My partner, applicant, received an email on Friday which stated: "...Insufficient documentary evidence has been provided to support that your sponsor either currently resides in Canada or of their intention to resume residency in Canada should you be granted a permanent...

Thanks

Hi all, my partner who I am sponsoring, had an email from LVO asking for an updated FBI certificate and a Police certificate from Israel. he spent some time in both countries in the 1980's. We are now in Canada and his application on ecas says it has been 'in process' since March this year - so...

Make sure your wife gets the B4 authorised and stamped by the CBSA - this is the mistake I made when I flew into Toronto. I had the form filled out but the agent who we went to, although I had ticked 'goods to follow' on my landing card snd he asked me what I had to follow, the agent did not ask...

Our inventory list had the values against the items; really it's for insurance because the value doesn't matter if it's goods you've owned and have been using elsewhere. Jonesy

Hi all, a cautionary tale for the Canadian citizens returning home with 'goods to follow'. We came back to Canada on August 17 to wait under 'dual intent', my partner's application is going through the London VO and we started that process in December 2014. Before flying out, my partner (who...

Yay Taffy!!!! Yes they were filming at Pearson - for a TV programme about people arriving and being greeted at the airport - we got filmed and they asked if they could use the footage, we said yes - it should be airing in the CBC in January!!! So glad your hubby got here safely - as I was...

I'm coming up for a year and will be returning to Canada next week to wait it out. I have a copy of my sponsor approval, copy of sponsor ECAS page and applicant page, return flight for January 2015 and potentially a letter from my UK based employer as I will continue to work for them from...

Update from thread re in process: On August 12 I took a screen capture on ecas of my partner's application and it said 'Application received'. I emailed the London VO to let them know of our change of address; I got a reply saying they'd received the enquiry. Today, August 15, I checked again...
