Thread for November 2010 applications

[CanuckyInItaly]

In this moment, exactly nine months ago, we were shipping our application package to Mississauga.
Well, right now I'm holding my husband's passport in my hands and the visa is soooo beautiful!
Ok... I'm having some troubles realizing that it's all done... Remember to breathe....   
This means in September we'll go to Canada together! I'm so grateful I can hardly keep from crying.

The envelope we got back from Rome contained the Passport, the "Confirmation of Permanent Residence" and all the additional documents and pictures we provided with the application. I didn't expect to get those back! Neat! ;-)

Yeah!!  I am so pleased for you.  Sorry that I only just saw your post as I haven't been on here as much as I used to.  When do you plan on moving to Canada?  We are picking up my partners passport on Thursday with the visa attached so we will be DONE!  In the process of finalizing a sale on our house in the UK and buying one in Canada so it is all systems go at the moment and we hope it be there by Sept/Oct at the latest. 
Congratulations to you and hope you have a very happy life in Canada.

Hi Jen! Thank you and don't worry about it, I haven't been on the forum very often as well. How did the passport pick up go? Did you see how beautiful the visa is? I'm speechless! :-)
Did you manage to buy the house you were talking about a couple of months ago? It's refreshing to finally see things starting to move in the right direction, eh?!
We'll fly to Canada on the second week of September and start looking for an apartment and a job right away.
We're already packing everything up and we're trying to sell our furniture and other things we won't be able to bring with us. These days we're thrilled and... hyper-active! ;-)
Can you imagine we finally did it? The longest and most stressful 9 months of our lives are over!

Congrats to all of you who have received ppr. As for me still nothing just waiting and my husbands ppr expires on aug 24 and im leaving him on aug 2nd ive lost all hope that we will return together :-(

Hi Geminibella, thank you. Listen, don't ever give up on hope, please! Never! It's what keeps us going through this hell!
Try to do your best enjoying your time with your loved one. Don't let the frustration ruin your stay.
I know it might sound annoying coming from someone who's just got the visa, but hang in there!
Sooner then later your turn will come. Keep thinking it's almost over, it's almost your turn...
If I may ask, what time frame did your VO gave you in the AOR?

I'd better go now, I wish everyone all the best of luck! Keep posting your time lines and experiences, I'll be checking the forum for your updates! I'm not ready to let go of this forum, it's been a priceless resource for us. ;-)

We'll keep you posted on our upcoming big adventure! 

Have a wonderful weekend,
Barbara

Hi, I applied on 16th Nov 2010 but i have not received any news from Saskatchewan Govt. My application was submitted inland. Please help me out

If you applied inland then you won't hear anything until the end of Aug. (I'm not sure if you applied inland or out since you didn't put Vegreville as your visa office). Mine was received by CIC at Nov 3 2010 and the call center said I should hear something around the end of Aug or beginning of Sep.

If you applied inland, you are welcome to come to this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/inland-applications-2010-t48144.6075.html
since all 2010 inland applicants are all sharing their update there.

Hi there, I'm one of the Nov. 2010 applicant's , they received my application, Nov. 23, 2010.  They requested an update April 2011, like my address and work... and that's it, and it was July 13, 2011 they inputed that information on my file! then today,got a letter from CPC-V today that they sent our papers to Local cic in Edmonton last Oct. 19, meaning they still have questions.... and we need to wait again for their call or letter for interview.  I hope it won't take long for them to send letter... ;(.

I know you are waiting for good news, sorry for this post, but it does not mean that we'll be on the same boat as we don't have the same situation,

The best of luck!

Hey Charmaine,

I see that your application got transferred to a local office.. Hopefully they will expedite your application from there and u can get your AIP asap. Well, CIC always take a couple of months to process new docs/info sent to them...Its the same for me too. At the very least, i have a notion on the dates and time taken to respond with an outcome from your reply.. I am simply keeping my fingers crossed now.. I did send extra info to CIC about my marriage but it wasnt as detailed as some others..Some of the people i heard sent encyclopedia-liked history and proof of their relationship to CIC, which i didnt provide...I am just hoping whatever i have given is sufficient that i can get my AIP and OWP soon.... Hopefully u can get your AIP soon too...and end the waiting....

Hi everyone, just checking in with those who are still here from the beginning of this thread.

Well howdy! We arrived in Calgary in June, approximately 8 weeks after receiving back my passport with visa. Landing and immigration processes on arrival went smoothly. We had goods to follow and they arrived in September and it was easy to deal with customs with all the paperwork.

I still haven't received my official permanent resident card... not sure why, I think I should probably follow that up in the next few weeks before it escapes my mind completely. But in the meantime, it hasn't been an issue, I've now got a drivers license, social insurance number, provincial health care and... a new baby girl! I was lucky to have midwife care and secured their support from 36 weeks pregnant (I arrived in Canada in my 3rd trimester!) and we had a beautiful, peaceful and safe homebirth.

Well I hope everyone's application is progressing well and people have moved or preparing to transition into Canada shortly. Winter is fast approaching and it's pretty exciting waiting for that snow to fall.

hey everyone !!

beautiful day for us !! We got PPR today all praise be to God.

It's been exactly 1 year since sent to mississauga and 11 months from my VO.

Just an update on my status.  In August I got a letter that asked for more proof of our common law relationship and proof that I could get a visa issued to me.  I sent them in October (within my 60 days time limit) a common law declaration, proof of joint bank account and on a recent trip to the states, on my re-entry, a visa issued to me valid for 6 months. 

I just received an e-mail asking for me to pay the RPRF.  So I will pay that today and keep my fingers crossed.  It states in the e-mail that this does not mean a final decision has been made.  But I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for a positive outcome.  This has been a long journey. 

Just wanted to give an update!!
