LOL.... Miss Profiler too.

I caught a cold and I have been in bed yesterday and today. I am taking buckley's day and night pills so they have me really groggy and sleepy, as well as "bush" tea and my husband is rubbing me with a vicks concoction.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Few days of rain and you got sick . . . .
Hurry and get well soon. And going to go listed to God's Word. Happy sunday to all

Once IRCC has checked the application for completeness you will get AOR (acknowledgement of receipt). Now it takes about 4-5 weeks.

I just called IRCC and they are still processing applications before Mar 28, 2016. Sigh.

They started processing my case on Apr 1, 2016. So I think it is anytime soon, but you know, waiting is painful.

Hi, Sorry if this has already been asked but searching through everything is a task.. and most google searches throw up historic results from before CIC overhauled the system, anyway...

I am just about to send off my inland application for PR, i am being sponsored by my common-law girlfriend.

The last section of IMM 5589 the document checklist asks for 'other proof that your relationship is recognised by your friends and/or family (e.g. Letters, social media posts showing public relationship etc.)

So i have included:
-6 Letters from various friends and family members on both sides giving us there support.
-2 Christmas cards hand drawn by my mum (she does one every year). They include a picture of us (my girlfriend and i, as well as all the other family members and their partners) and a little blurb stating what we'd all been up to that year and is sent to all the family and friends.
-conformation of flights we shared in a trip to Scotland to see my family
-5/6 screenshots of important relationship events from facebook

1st question, is this enough supporting evidence for this section? (we have rental agreements, benefits, photos etc for the previous sections)
2nd question, should we both write our own letters about our relationship and love for one another? reading through these forums it seems like lots of people include them but nowhere are they requested and all of the formal information is submitted by way of the IMM forms & other supporting documents (such as rental agreements etc) anyway.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Question.. I learnt about the GCMS through this forum. Just wondering though, how important is it? and should everyone request one? we've filed for spousal sponsorship 12-13 months ago. Never once heard about GCMS until recently.. profiler estimated that I would hear something around this month so should I wait for them to contact me? ask for meds etc or just pay the $5 and request the notes anyway?

Thanks anyone that can assist.

from inside Canada, the request of GCMS notes through the privacy act is free. It is not "important" for the procedures, but just for you to check if they did any mistake (for example, they made a typo in my email address, seeing that on my notes, I asked for a correction via the CSE webform). The notes also tells you at which stage they are in the process. If you decide to order your notes, I recommend you do it for both the sponsor and the PA. But you filed by the end of April 2016, so I would presume you are really about to get news for CIC.

I appreciate the prompt response. We are applying in-land. The CIC webist states its $5 under the Information Act, correct. May I ask how I go about applying for Both Sponsor and PA?

yes, 5$ if you do it under the "access to information act", but you can also request them via the privacy act, which is free when done from within Canada.
So to request them, go to: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en
You have to 2 separate requests, one with the sponsor information, one with the principal applicant information.
First you choose the department: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
For the first step, you have to identify yourself (name, address, phone, email,...)
On the next step, this is where you choose between the Privacy act (free) or the access to information act (5$), so choose the privacy act.
Then, just follow the steps.
You will receive them 30 days after request, but the information on what you receive with as it was the day of the request.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp

Fill out the consent form that is linked on that page (PA is section A, Sponsor Section C; sign and date), then have the sponsor submit the request as a Privacy Act request.

Privacy Act requests are for "Residents" (Temporary/Workers are residents ). ATIP is $5 for those overseas...
