Hi everyone, this Muhammad, we are planning to fly on July 18th, 2013. We just wonder if anyone know or have a contact with someone for short term accommodations in the Greater Toronto Area. We would appreciate any help you can give us.

Just went here after a while and noticed that Barbara Baraka and MzTee Got their visas. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

We are still waiting for ours. My wife got her Quebec CSQ on March 15th, but there is a mistake and we need to send it back now. I hope that Kiev won't call us the day after to ask for to give the Visa. Because there will be problems!!!

Ok back to the TOP!

So...my hubby and I have a little bet going...he thinks we will have our visa in hand by the end of August.... Giving our whole process about 7 months. (Now being at the 4 month mark). Since I've been watching the spreadsheets I had initially bet end of July since it looks like Nov applicants have started getting their visas.....

Any opinions..best guesses for your own applications?

My application seems to be only a few days apart from yours, and my guess is similar - I am hoping to have received the good news by mid July and have the Visa in hand by mid- end of August :D

I'm hoping before summer is over. My husband has Labor Day week off so we could take a nice little trip to land.

By August 9 would be ideal. That's the closest weekend to my birthday :D

I am hopeful to get PPR in June and have my passport back in the end of July. I really wish I could get there before August 1st, my husbands birthday. It would be the 1st time we'd celebrate it together...

I'm hopeful for PPR for my wife some time in June also since she is planning on visiting me mid-July. That would be great if can actually land during that time.

*fingers crossed*

just if you have age different or different in religion prepare yourself for the right answer
Yes we have both of those two and we're married also after 6mos only of knowing each other.I know it's God's will...

We love each other so much that we want to grow old together. We are also willing to be interviewed so that they could see for themselves that we have a genuine relationship...

We're praying that our age difference would not affect our application because we are both at our responsible ages anyway we both lost our spouses and we both have 2 kids...

The time seems to vary depending on which region the application is from and which office. In my case, for CPP-Ottawa outland, it seems to be pretty slooow...

Has there been anyone here for CPP-Ottawa Outland that at least made it to "IN PROCESS"? I know it is still early but just curious...

Hey Guys. How's everyone doing?

I have a question. I emailed CIC SPVO last Friday asking for any information on my application, and they replied to me today saying they received my application in SPVO on March 12th and they will start pre-analyzing it this week.
What does pre-analyzing means? :-\
Once they open my package, what is the average time it will take until PPR?
I am so anxious! (as everybody else) :(
Your comments will be highly appreciated. ;)
