Since my biometrics and medical passed nothing for a month too.All update after 1 month waiting, and video call everyday with spouse is always a good news sistto be honest. How about today? Any update yet? Am from Indonesia. Where PA from?
Cheers All ^_^
Hey Sayma,
Same here, no pre-arrival nothing. U also let me know if u receive any updates on ur Application. Best of luck.
It all depends on how they asked you to submit the documents. For example some say via email, some say regular mail. It should be highlighted at the bottom of your letter on how they wish to receive requested documents .
Ur decesion already approved. So no need interview or other.... so enjoy ur summer with ur spouse. And pray for us who r still waiting as like me. All the best....
Thanks, the interview I am speaking of is the landing interview. I saw a few posts regarding landing interviews, but I assume those are only for applicants who are already in Canada.
I see on GCKey that COPR was issued today, so it is just a matter of sending it back to his local VAC, where he will pick it up. When you land, you will show your COPR to a CBSA officer, of course and they will send you to another counter or office where you will also wait your turn to speak to another officer. They might just ask you simple questions, like which address you will live at, but it is not an official interview. Make sure you have your Declaration card on you and also a List of personal belongings you are bringing with you + a list of goods you might bring later on, if anything, so you don't have to pay duties/taxes on them.
Thank you very much @gordiewow ! I plan to stick around for a bit. There are many people here who have been kind to me and very helpful and I hope I can do the same for others. I wish that your application sees some movement soon also!
WYWH Thanks my dear..@ruanp28 Congrats again! That was fast. We are expecting our COPR to arrive by the end of this week as well. I want to make sure all is in order before I book my husband's flight.
The BSF186 is the main form, but has only 8 lines. The BSF186A is used if you want more than 8 lines.
Make 2 copies of each set. One for yourself, and one for CBSA.
BSF186 is the same for goods accompanying and goods to follow. There is a checkbox to distinguish the two.
Good luck with everything!
@sdharan19 Sorry for my very late response! We had 17 days between Pre-arrival and DM (PPR on the same day), so I guess that is how long the BGC took, although, in our case, as well as several others that I have seen, BGC was showing as "in process" since the very start (AOR1, which is when app was linked on GCKey) There is no rule on how long BGC may take for each applicant...depends on many factors (travel history, countries lived in, military service, association with any organizations, criminal record etc) Hang in there, good things are coming!
