My wife (americaninlove) just got COPR in the mail today, March 6th! Also, "Decision Made" finally showed up on Feb. 26th on E-CAS. Sorry we didn't update the thread on that sooner... It had been "In Process" so long I had to double check to make sure I wasn't looking at sponsorship! Could you please update the spreadsheet?

We are so excited and lucky. Thankfully this process has been swift as we only had to wait for a little over 7 months. Wishing you all an easy and speedy process to PR from our month. I know it seems like Ottawa has been really getting things out recently so hoping you all get updates soon. We are planning a trip to the border now to get her landed! We'll be peeking into this forum though frequently to watch our spreadsheet grow with good news and landed spouses!

Hi everyone! I hope all is well and that good news is on the way.
My husband landed in Calgary on March 1. It was so surreal. My daughter and I got to the airport just as his flight landed and he messaged me telling me he was here. I knew it would take a little extra time but, once everyone on the flight had left with their luggage and it got really quiet, I got super nervous. His English isn't very good so, I was hoping that customs was being easy on him. After what seemed like forever, my daughter saw him walking towards the doors and screamed and ran to jump into his arms. It was such a happy moment.
We dressed him in a warm winter jacket, mitts, and hat. Then, we left quickly before immigration changed their mind and told him to go back to Mexico. Hahaha!
His SIN and PR card are on their way. There is a man that he met down in Mazatlan a while back that offered him a job if and when he ever got here and he should be starting that next week. He has to take his drivers test to get his license converted which is fine but, the Spanish driving rules book was $50! I'm hoping that everything comes together in the next few weeks. Trying not to stress as the hard part is OVER. We're done with expensive visits, Skype, phone cards, and family functions without each other. I can't believe it. I asked him the other night if he was actually here or if it was a dream. He said it was real and I pinched him just to make sure. He's actually here! Yay!!

Congratulations my dear! Finally, you're already reunited with your husband. I saw the pics of your husband when he just landed. And I can also feel how happy you are right now.

God bless you and your family. Don't forget to drop by here at our thread if you have free time. Wishing you all the best!

mrs. alvaro :)

PS: You've been updated on the spreadsheet with a nice bright yellow color. :-* :-* :-* :p :p :p

Hi there! No PPR yet my friend. But currently, our Manila VO has been requesting passport from June 2013 applicants. I'm pretty sure ours is next in line.


How are you doing there? I hope you are doing fine there. Congrats for the fast receipt of your SIN card. ;) ;) ;)

Hi guys, it's been ages since I've been on here. For what's worth, I just wanna let you guys know that I checked my wife's online application status today. It changed from "Application received" to "in process". When I clicked on that it says we started processing the application on Feb 24th, 2014. I don't know how long it usually takes for them to finalize a case after they start processing it.
Good luck to all of you guys.

Well folks, it's been a pleasure hanging out with you over the past few months and my wife and I will be checking in on occasion to see how everyone's applications are going.

We drove to the Peace Bridge today. We drove through to the US side to get some gas since it's much cheaper, then came back. 10 minutes later she was a permanent resident! This process wrapped up so quickly all of a sudden! We actually had her mom ship the COPR overnight from her address in the USA where the COPR was sent to, to our place here; it cost $120!!! So worth it though, glad we can start that 3 month countdown on the OHIP timer too.

Congrats ksimental!

Faras Cade, ours started processing and got Decision Made on the same day. The COPR was dated for the same day as the "in process" in ECAS said.

Hang in there everyone, and if anyone needs help or has any questions on the USA to Canada outland process please send me a message and I'll do my best to help. God bless you all!
