Yes, blank legal paper like you can buy at any stationery store in the US or Canada. I find it ironic that they're doing this to save money but since there is no metric equivalent of legal size paper they have to pay to ship legal size paper around the world. I'm sure it's still cheaper than the pretty forms, but it would have been cheaper to figure out how to fit it all onto an 8.5x11" sheet or A4 sheet.
Seriously there was so much blank space on mine it could easily fit onto an 8.5x11 sheet.

Hi Guys!
So I sent my application August 30th and my sponsorship approval was sometime in October. Ever since then I have been trying to sign into ECAS but it never recognizes me. So I sent Ottawa and email asking them of my status and why ECAS was not working for me. Well this was their reply;
"Good day,

Your application is in process. It was actually recently transferred to the visa office in Los Angeles. They will contact you when more information is required.

Warm regards"

So still the question of the ECAS was not answered.
So I am still sort of in the dark on this application. I wanted to find out if this is normal procedure (transfer from Ottawa to LA), and if it is, how long does it take to get to the stage of PPR? Also does this mean interview has been waived?

Ugh! Not having my ECAS working is not kool at all!!

I can log into ECAS but that thing is useless anyway. At least you know LA is working on your file. I'm in the dark.

I have emailed CPPOTT many times and gotten replies within 24 hrs with real answers, have you tried asking them what is the problem?

I read something somewhere that each case is assigned to a certain agent, and some are faster than others. Even though I email to the generic address my replies are always signed by

Officer | Agent SG00218

He/she is very fast...

Hmmm that's interesting. What email are you sending it to?
Because my replies dont say any agents number or identification of any sort.

I believe your timeline is different because yours was transferred from Islamabad so it's not really useful for you to use my timeline as reference. You can try contacting them but it's up to them if they want to extend it or request that you do new ones.

Good luck!

Shylock, for some reason it won't let me change my profile or direct message you with my details. Would you mind adding my timeline to the CPP -OTT spreadsheet? I did an outland spousal application for my US husband.
