INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[gfdvca]

My spouse is from a country where the police checks are done by a third party, you don't do the police check directly through the police force.

So here's my question, does ECAS ever show that the police checks were received? Ours shows medicals received but makes no mention of the police check. As we have already been asked for additional information, the last thing I want is to incur an additional delay because someone fumbled our police paperwork.

CONGRATS!!!

I'm Oct. 22, 2013 applicant and from Calgary as well. Hoping I get everything as fast as you including the landing date! I haven't seen many applicants living in Calgary on this forum so was waiting for one to see how long it takes for the interview date.

Par curiosité c'est quand ton application received ?

On dirait qu'il traite le monde recu dans le mois d'aout en premier selon le spreadsheet.

Moi ils ont recu mon application le 4 septembre 2013.

Moi c'était le 5 juillet 2013. C'est domage qu'on doit attendre encore plus long. Quand la décision prise, il n'y a rien à vérifier mais il nous fait attendre encore et encore...

"We have the best immigration rates in the history of Canada"

WTF? The question directed towards him was specifically regarding those that are IN Canada.


There's a big difference between a `weak response' and a `blatant lie'.

Hey Jayshe25
Finally I had a successful landing interview and now I'm officially a PR!

The interview was very simple, my meeting was at 2:30pm but my wife and I arrived 2:00pm

2:15 came a very friendly agent asking for me and she took us into an office and the very first question was: do you have plans to travel outside Canada? I answered no then she said: great because you can't until you receive your PR Card.
After that, all was very smooth and easy going conversation, she explained some obligations and rights; then she asked the very famous questions:
1. Have you committed any crime
2. Have you ever been deported/asked to leave Canada
3. Do you have dependants

She was a very nice person and gave us some advise about Canada, SIN, Maladie, etc.

We were in n out in about 1hour. Now I can sleep like a baby hahahahaha

Also she said the PR Card could come in less than 5 weeks


When is your landing interview? Tomorrow?

PS, There were no more couples but us.

Daizey and Btun any news? What are the questions immigration montreal! It is the same in the other city?

My landing is on Monday did they ask some questions to the sponsor?

They asked my wife if she is still willing to sponsor me and if she was aware of the condition 51. But that it's all they had to say to her, they only asked for her I'd (Maladie card was fine)

Don't worry, it was simpler than I thought.

2. I haven`t received anything that they have received my work permit application , is it normal ? how long should it be taking in the pilot program ?

Thanks

I'd say his response was weak, lazy, and stupid.

Although the truth would be that they're too lazy to try and fix the problem, so I doubt anyone would want to hear that either.

What is the condition 51? My husband doesn't know that what is he going to answer?

Hi guys, is there an August 2013 applicant that still waiting their DM's or I'm the only one left?

So I called CIC and the lady told me to fax the a letter explaining that I have mailed my additional document. Sigh I yell you this whole process never been easy for me at all.

hello! Yes you have to extend your visitor status. You need to apply for extension before your actual status runs out. If the processing takes longer...don't worry...then you re on implied status until you receive your new visitor visa. Also you can stay assured that they ll process the OWP applications but it ll take a couple of months. I sent my on 27 January 2015 and also haven't heard a thing. It's normal I guess. The common advise...sit and wait! good luck
