Just wanted to let everyone know I received PR on the 23rd! My timeline was: Application received: May 15 AOR: July 26 OWP approved: Aug 24 Medical passed: Oct 31 Background check cleared: Nov 22 DM: Nov 23 Interview/PR status approved: Dec 23 Thank you to everyone who answered questions and...

I just received this message, "We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada office in CIC-HAMILTON will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application." and...

They sent me that in the request form as well so I did just send it to them electronically, but they say after you submit the enquiry form that they won't reply if your application is within normal processing times so it seemed a little weird to me that they would request that I submit it that...

I was asked to get an Identity History Summary from the FBI because I lived in the US after the age of 18 and, now that I've done that, I just wanted to confirm that I would mail that document to the same address I mailed the rest of my PR application? The correspondence they gave me about it...

I just wanted to post an update for anyone else who might stumble on this thread later and is as nervous as I was! Because I submitted the request to the FBI online, it really sped my process up exponentially! I was worried that the 2-4 week wait for mailed requests also counted for online...

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better!

Thank you for your reply! I did submit my request online, and received the confirmation via email, but since I had to physically mail my prints to them I assumed my wait time would be the same 2-4 weeks. Does that mean mine should also be done quickly?

I'm applying through the family class under spousal sponsorship and I'm from the US. I received a request for an identity history summary check (via fingerprints) from the FBI on Oct 30th but because of my work schedule and the fact that the fingerprinting places were all closed on the weekends...

I usually spend a few weeks a year in the US, if you were to add up the short trips I take.

I applied for PR through the family class as a common-law partner in May, received AOR and an extension of my OWP but I’m still not sure if I should leave the country or not? I’m American and I have family and friends in the US and my spouse and I travel there frequently. We were hoping to go a...

You don't use the application number, you'll use the UCI that should be shown in the details of the PR application. UCI is assigned to a person, not an application so it will be the same for both PR and OWP, even though application numbers will be different. Log in to the linked PR application...

I posted a week or so ago about not be able to link my OWP but I was finally able to today! My timeline is Application sent: May 13 Received: May 15 AOR: July 26 PR application linked: Aug 5 OWP Linked: Aug 23 Both my PR and OWP applications are at "submitted" but I'm hoping that I hear about...

I have AOR and was able to link my application online on August 5th but even now I can't link my OWP... is there a guide or something for common mistakes I might be making? I'm asking because I saw multiple people say that you should be able to link OWP a few days after linking the initial...

I'm from the USA and was only recently confirmed for schooling that starts next month. Since it's so last minute I didn't have time to apply for my study permit online due to lack of a loan but have heard from friends and through other sources online that study permits can be given out without...
