Thank you ;D Was all very exciting until we received a request for missing docs (that were sent previously) so the wait continues BUT we certainly feel a step closer :)

Oh man! But yes, you are definitely closer to the end now! :)

I haven't heard anything from them and my Ecas still says application received. I don't think the email they sent me last time to my inquiry meant i'm in process... I think it meant that my file was under the "first review"... or whatever it can be called! :D The wait continues... :-\

Does anyone have an opinion, what time should I apply for an extension to my "tourist status"? I currently have to leave Canada by September 1st. So should I apply by August 1st? Thanks!!!

Took about 4 months for me to go "In Process" so you might hear something soon.

Hi guys, I recently sent London office an inquiry and this is what they said:

"Thank you for your recent e-mail.

Please be advised that the initial review of your application has been completed and your application is now awaiting review by the Immigration Officer.

No further documentation is required at this stage."

Does that in any way mean that we are in process or about to go in process? What is involved in the "initial review"? ::)

You should go "In Process" soon but you aren't yet.

Its my understanding that you are suppose to apply 1 month before it is due to expire so the 1st of August would be a good time, while you wait for a reply you will be on implied status as it takes a while to get an answer and will probably be longer from the strike, therefore you could apply now..

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and finding it really helpful. Wish I had found it months ago. My wifes application to sponsor me was approved and my application for PR is showing as received since 13th June '13. Medical results also received. I know I'm in for a long wait but checking the site every day. Will keep updating with progress.

You can apply any time before your current visa expires.

I applied 2 days before mine expired.

Hi Guys,

I got a email 10 days ago from the Visa saying

(Your application is in progress. We will soon be in contact with further instructions.

Yours sincerely,)

Does that mean my application is In Process? As my online status has not changed since last year november.
