Hi all,

I've been more of a quiet reader up until now, but I thought my timeline might be helpful to some people as I've not seen too many EU citizens here (except UK). We have a lawyer so I don't have access to all the information but this is what I know:

Application received January 23rd
Sponsorship approval March 8th
Medical requested March 9th
Medical done April 2nd
Medical passed April 11th
Biometrics requested May 23rd
Biometrics done June 7th
Started processing application June 8th
ECAS shows DM June 9th

PA is from Germany

Did you put +2 for ‘how many family members part of this application’ question. Here you have to include yourself. And if you have a dependent on the file too then each dependent will be +1 added to the +2.
I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO GET ON THE PAGE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO HIT +2

Does anyone know how long does it take for the passport to come back once submitted?
I submitted my passport on the 30th of May and the status says it's still in the High Commission Office.

I have an international trip coming up in 17 days and am tensed if I'll get it back in time or no.
My husbands was received on the 29th, still waiting! I have heard around 2 weeks but no way to be sure. We're hoping to leave for Canada early next week.....

What page are you talking about? On GCKey if you select Add (link) application and then for what program did you apply for choose the appropriate category and sub category, and fill rest info like PA’s details etc then the last ‘other application information’ option has the ‘Number of family members, including the primary applicant, that are part of this application’ question, you fill the appropriate number (1, 2, 3 etc). Include sponsor too in this so will be 2 and any dependent will be an additional +1 each.

Just submitted biometrics today and sent the additional document they requested last week in three different ways (email, CSE, and on GCKey).

I thought I would give a heads up to anyone coming to the Buffalo site for biometrics. Parking is directly out front and you have to pay 25 cents (a quarter) for every 7 minutes in the meter. The process was pretty fast. There seemed to be 5 other people including me there for a 9 am appointment. I was last because I made the front security aware that the process might be longer for me as working in healthcare I do not have fingerprints much anymore due to the constant touching of things and always washing my hands. I still left within 40 mins after arriving. You not only need to bring your passport and biometrics letter sent from CIC but proof of your appt with USCIS. I have no idea if this is just Buffalo now or all of USCIS. I think its for all locations though. Fortunately I was able to pull proof of the appt on my phone on the USCIS website with my IRCC number. They were very nice there, especially a worker there named Sean. Shockingly to me he had no problem obtaining my fingerprints like every other place did including the county sheriff office and state police for my FBI certificate, and Identogo for my state police certificate. I am fortunate that the Buffalo site is local and has great people working there. I highly recommend if people are coming from Ontario or other parts of Western New York to use this location site for biometrics.

They sent you biometrics request? Payment request? You can’t get the biometrics request without the letter. I’m confused
First they requested the biometric and asked me to pay the fee ... Then after 3 months they send me a letter for the biometric
