    Did you claim any fund from a bank? It looks like they tried to verify but they could not do that. This is my interpretaton of the message.

    <<<<<<<<<<JANUARY 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

    Yes, I totally understand your point. Only thing I would add is that it is unlikely that a mandamus will be accepted when the waiting time is in line with the expected one.

    <<<<<<<<<<JANUARY 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

    I believe that most of the time the application approval timeline is unrelated to what the applicant does. Most of the stories we read about are just coincidental. Surely if after mandamus and after a court date is set, that is more likely to be cause/effect, so in that sense a mandamus is...

    <<<<<<<<<<JANUARY 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

    A mentioned in another reply, mandamus has almost zero chances of having any positive outcome since your waiting time is in line with a normal processing. Please keep in mind that IRCC tries to process fairly all applications and I do not think it is a good idea to try to "bully" them into...

    <<<<<<<<<<JANUARY 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

    Agreed and I understand the venting: I did plenty of that during my application, LOL! Unfortunately there is not much to do aside from waiting. Ordering GCMS notes every few months and calling directly can help too, but only from a psychological point of view: nothing will speed up the process...

    <<<<<<<<<<JANUARY 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

    I understand looking forward to your applications to be processed, but the expected waiting time is around 9 months and it is being less than 8 (even less for some of you). It is not unusual to wait 1 year of more for some applications (see my signature for details of my application, keeping...

    APEGS or APEGA

    Good day forum members! I am getting ready to apply to become a professional engineer. I have two options in term of provinces (I will be doing some work in both), but I am not sure about the repsective timelines. The two provinces are Saskatchewan (APEGS) or Alberta (APEGA). Did someone...

    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    I never really investigated the procedure, but it should be described here. There are phone numbers available from the US that you can use.

    I think you should call and ask for advice: GCMS notes can be cryptic at times. Did anyone experience the same situation?

    ***>>> March 2020 AOR <<<***

    Ah, OK. This is the thread for AOR March 2020, so you may want to re-post this on the proper thread to have more replies. It really depends on your stream (FSW, PNP etc.) and on your luck, but it usually takes an average of 9 months for the application to be processed, with most of the...

    ***>>> March 2020 AOR <<<***

    Not much aside from waiting. GCMS notes will arrive and you will have a clearer picture of the situation. When did you apply?

    Exporting a Vehicle from the U.S. and Importing into Canada: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

    Unfortunately you will have to import the new car paying the proper taxes. The car that you put on the goods to follow list is a different one and it is the only one exempt from import taxes. I am no sure about the amount of taxes for Ontario, but there is probably a good guide on the official...

    Next steps after eCopr?

    If you received eCoPR it means that you are already physically in Canada. Once you receive it you are a permanent resident and you do not need or can have a visa (or a ETA). You have however to prove your status, which you can do with your PR card once you receive it. Before that you can prove...

    >>>>>>>NOVEMBER 2019 AOR<<<<<<< Join here

    It varies significantly, but they usually ask for medical when everything else is done and it is assumed that the applicant will be able to land before medicals expire. I would expect something in a few weeks or a couple of months top. As always with this process: be ready but do not count on it...

    Next steps after eCopr?

    You are considered PR when you do your landing, physical or virtual. In your case it will be virtual and, if I am not mistaken, will happen after you send the required information and documents. Since you did not do that yet, I believe you are not PR at the moment, so if you have an eTA or a...
