Hi,

So I checked ECAS this morning (7AM EST, 4:30 PM IST) and found that it was decision made.

The application never went to "in process". From "application sent" it jumped to "Decision Made".

We sent the passport through DHL. We did not send any retun envelope.Yes, I'll post again once PP reaches home.

Regards.
congrats inflight :) good to know that ecas never showed "in process" ;):)

Cool thanx for that missmini. Yup it's all systems go now. Well actually I chose the nick "dreamcatcher" cos i have a native indian one hanging above my bed and it always gives me good dreams, never have a bad one, so I think they do work!. :)

So yeah can't wait to see my beautiful wife in Montreal!, I've really missed her so much!. Still got some things to take care of here thou business stuff then fly and see some of my family in Oz land before spending a little time in the U.S first to meet up with my wife before we head to Montreal.

Ahhhh a white christmas!!!!!!!!!. well hopefully Montreal gets some snow the end of this year will be nice. That's one thing i have to take up is ice-skating. I have tried dogsledding, now that is super fun!.

Yeah Sydney visa office is fast, good stuff, a great city by thw way too, so they did a fantastic job with processing our application super fast.

Yours is comming!!!!!, trust me!!!!!!!!!!.

:) :)
Oh we get white chritmases alright, I'm from Montreal too!! You'll have a blast here don't mind us frenchies :p

loooooool thanks for the laugh cgagnon that's cute and funny :p :p :p

yes it is such a nice place and we r a nice Montreal group ;D can't wait to go back;

on a side note, today i was actually checking for my spouse the online language ressources micc has to offer and they r really good, i suggest them to all moving there who need to improve the language skills; it's true that the interface is pretty old and u need a french speaker next to u to guide u around but as content it's a very good start :)

Hey guys!
Not much to report. We sent my husbands passport to LA on June 15, the tracking number is still not active yet for the return so we do what we do best, wait some more lol.
Once his address appeared under his login on ecas there was actually a typo. I emailed them earlier this week and they responded that they had updated it.
Our ecas status has also changed to decision made under my husbands name.

We feel really lucky and blessed that all in our app only took 5 months to be approved, however the 4 months that it took me t collect all the info had to be worth something right :D

My main reason for posting this morning is to ask...


Anyone in the JANUARY thread that has had any recent updates that they don't see on the spreadsheet could you please message me and I will update ASAP. I'd really like to keep up with the tracking until the very last person has been approved!! Take a look through and send me any updates or corrections.

I don't have any special update for the spreadsheet, but I got an email this morning asking for us to send documents proving our intent to reside in Canada.

We're gonna get some stuff together in the next day or two and send it mega express (along with an e-mail with all docs as attachments too). Don't want this to slow us down!! But am a little relieved to finally hear something. They are definitely looking at it!

I'm glad I made 2 people laugh yesterday!! My husband will be taking french classes as well but I can tell you that they learn a lot by just being around us.... For example my husband learnt real quick that MOUFETTE meant SKUNK after the dogs got sprayed twice in the middle of winter :) you see on hand learning goes a long way ;D

It's been so long since I wrote anything here.. Part of me is bummed out that we still haven't heard anything I guess. But I wanted to say hi anyway!

Anyway, gotta stay positive. Congrats to all those getting PP requests and so on! It's a big move and it really is exciting!
Hey Amoss!! I just got off the phone with CIC...I spoke to a super nice lady called Fabienne.... Here is the deal! Ottawa is processing Step2 for all United States applications.....The Visa itself will be issued from LA.....So now I get why my file is still in Ottawa...and it's actually a relief!! Hang in there! Soon it will all be over!

thanks for the uplift! 8) we got a request for more info (proof of intent to reside in Canada) email today so we're gonna try to gather what they need in the next day or two and have it sent off by Monday at the latest. Just don't want this to slow things down too much...
