Hi 2010 members
I've landed this morning at Nanaimo. Here is what happened during the "final step" ;D
We arrived there 11:40 since the meeting time was setting at 11:45, knocked the office door because they actually only open for public on Thursday. A lade came and invited us into a small office. Then she asked my passport, 2 pics and my bf's drive license. During the time when she checked the info between my passport and landing paper, she asked us some questions, I was quite nervous because I thought "what?? interview?? will she ask us to leave if we don't answer correct??" She asked how we knew each other, how my bf likes my hometown if he has ever been there? How long we have been living together.....what school did I go before moving to this town.....I was wondering how many question she had at that time...But it's not really an interview, more like chatting, that's how I felt.
After 10 mins, she said, "ok, now I have to confirm something with you (me),
do you have any other child besides the one you listed on the form"
"No"
"Are you thinking about sponsoring him (my son) later?"
"Yes"
"who has the full custody?"
"My ex-husband but he said he is fine if the kid decides to come living with me after he's 16"
"ok.." "now I have other question that you only need to answer yes or no..."
"have you committed any crime in Canada or other country?"
"no"
"have you received an order from Canada or other country to ask you leave" (sorry I don't remember the exactly words, something like that)
"not yet" ( Yes, i was too nervous to forget that she said "only answer yes or no...." but she just smiled to me...
)
"well, that's it, congratulations you become PR from Canada today....now you can think about how to celebrate it...."
So she gave me the lading paper and my passport back (she wrote something on my passport but I haven't read yet), I didn't know what to say when the paper in my hand....she broke the silence suddenly, said " I know that paper looks like a crap....hahaha and I recommend you making some copies because the words on the paper may disappear years later since the ways it's printed." ( I didn't know if I should laugh with her or not at that time....) She also gave me back "all the study/work permit" I have and told me, you can keep it for memory...
Then, she asked me if I had SIN, care card already, I answered "no" but I applied care card 2 months ago.
She said, I had better to send a copy of my landing paper to MSP so they can change my info, and she recommend me to apply SIN after I get my PR card. Also, she mentioned, I knew you may like traveling back to hometown but I still suggest you to wait the card, if you really want to go without the card then be sure you'll get the travel doc before you coming back.
That's it, then we shake hand and said goodbye. Until now, I still feel it's like a dream....but anyway, I finished. I want to thank everyone here because I was not only getting info here but also lots of encourage/support....I truly appreciate. I hope I can do something someday for you guys. Thank you

I know I only come in here sporadically (am spending most of my time offline as a family member has a terminal illness).. Last week I received a notice from CIC Vegreville that my application for family sponsorship was completed and I would hear from the CIC office in Sherbrooke. Yesterday I got my notice from the Sherbrooke office, Interview on April 23. (YAY!)
Congratulations! Cheers and have fun! ;DAmandaHsu said:Hi 2010 members

It's gonna be 8 months tomorrow for me. I called today...they give me the same response like "check back around the end of June" or within a 2 month time frame. I guess it's just time to going back to when I pretended like the application wasnt in process and just living day by day. Stressing and being sad gets you nowhere. Seeing people landing and stuff really is bitter-sweet.
You better contact your MP. If not it will remain like that.tozo said:Hello, 7 months since AIP and still waiting.......this waiting business is too much and killing me softly
If your marriage or relationship is genue I will advise you to do that ASAP. It deos't hurt.
The so called VO just do whatever they like. They want to turn themselves to be God.
Please check online for the MP representing in your area. Example, if you live in Etobicoke Central in Toronto , you will find the MP for your area with the phone number and call, book an appointment and then go there with all your supporting documents. They will follow it up / speed up the processing of your application provided it is genue.CEC said:

each case is different and hopefully we will get there.any way policap have you landed yet?well for your information after AIP,the rest is background check,and other verifications so welcome to the thread
Tozo, I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my wife for inland PR. I landed many years ago (13 years) as an independent skilled immigrant. I sponsor myself into this country. Just unfortunate, I lived in the US for some years and trying to get PR for my wife. It's over a year since we submitted application for PR. No AIP or whatever. I contacted my MP last week and my file was brought forward for immediately review last Monday. If not for that move the file will just be sitting there for nothing. A lot things have changed in the immigration process. In my case, that was what I did for my wife and speed up the processing. I will advice those who have genuine marriage to do the same.tozo said:

Let me congratulate you on this sad anniversary, Crazy Lucy! I hope those agents just want to allow plenty of time for the officers to process your file, but it doesn't mean it is really going to take you that long. It's true what you said: we just have to appreciate every day of our lives and get the best out of it whatever our status is. Just like you I am going to go to a college and this waiting time is pretty challenging. But we know that this story has a good ending and the more we wait the more rewarding it will feel!)CrazyLucy said:
