@ Gary_87 Thanks man! @ Blessedlaine Thanks! @ Sweden Thanks so much. Would love a link to the site.

Hi everyone, After we couldn't log into CIC last night my American wife and I were panicked! Turns out we got an email this morning requesting her passport. We were also requested to provide a police clearance checks from France and Taiwan. She studied abroad for a semester in Paris and we...

Hi everyone, As I'm sure a lot of you do two or three times a day--you check your status using the CIC Online Services Application Status. Suddenly we cannot login! I'm 100% sure the information provided is correct and neither myself nor my wife have opted out of being able to login. This is...

Thanks so much! Most appreciated.

Hi everyone, A little info before my question: Sponsoring American Spouse Outland AOR: Oct. 9, 2012 Medical Received To our knowledge our application is complete to the fullest extent. We have done this when I immigrated to the US so we were very thorough. I'm employed at a good job in...

HI Tavora, That is so disheartening. We were hoping (as I'm sure you are) to be in that 20%. I wonder what to expect next and when?

Hey thanks for the reply. Forgive my ignorance. What is GCMS and AOR? You said your boyfriend--does this mean you are coming in as a fiancé? Thanks for your answer!

Hi everyone, I have applied to sponsor my American wife (outbound) for PR status in Canada. A little background on us-- we are both well educated (wife and I hold Masters degrees with great work experience) I have a well paying job in Canada to support until she finds employment. Our...

Thanks for the insight. We are just applying outbound for my wife to have Permanent Residency. Is this different from PPR? From the CIC site (and what I've read on this forum) 80% of apps processed in New York were 9-11 months. Just wondering if we can expect the same out of Ottawa or shorter...

Hi everyone, My application to sponsor my American wife has been sent to Ottawa as part of the Case Processing Pilot Program as the New York office has apparently closed. Has anyone experienced the process going through this pilot program? Does it increase/decrease the processing time? I...

Amazing. Thank you so much for the feedback. Let's hope we are part of that 20%! I guess there are no sound strategies to fall into that category are there?

Thanks! I guess my next question would be, how long are Americans who are already married to a Canadian having to wait to get their PR once the application has been received? I've been receiving very mixed answers. # months to 11 months to 2 years?? Has anyone recently experienced this? Thanks...

Hi everyone, I have applied to sponsor my wife for permanent residency in Canada. She is American. I know when I immigrated to the US I had a Social Security number in 3 months (prior to my permanent residency card) which allowed me to work. The current wait time for application review is 69...

Thanks so much!

Hi there, I am Canadian but am a Green Card holder in the U.S. My wife is American. We are looking to move to Canada as I have just received a job offer that will require me to be there in 6-8 weeks. I have several questions regarding my wife's move: 1. Can she come with me now and we can...
