Go figure - DH opened it. I didn't get the fancy schmancy letter! Thank you!!!

So the name on his card is missing a letter from his middle name... thoughts? I'm on hold with CIC -- do they have a character limit?

Bummed to hear of everyones negative experiences... seems we are some of the lucky ones. I am Canadian, we sponsored my American husband. Our application was processed faster than most (we've been together for 12 years and he is a born US Citizen). I was expecting more of the landing. But it...

COPR in hand! Landing soon ---- thanks for all the advice these past months :)

COPR in hand! Landing soon!

Yes, Vancouver is lovely today. Just don't try to get to work on time -- the hostage situation on Queensbourough created quite the mess!

that makes sense to me --- which is why we were celebrating. assuming that your timeline is similar, then i should be receiving the details next week --- which would be PERfect timing. we both have enhanced drivers licenses, so crossing the border? no problem! we were very lucky in that...

Cream Pop --- I took that same statement to mean approval. Does it not? They still haven't updated my E-cas. They received the Passport on October 23. I'm shipping the passport back USPS Express and so I have a tracking number. I basically just track that twice a day (yes, twice a day is...

E-Cas is the Electronic Check Application Status system and you can check it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ -- on the right it says "check application status" You will need your application number/file number or receipt number, although mine wasn't visible until I actually got approved as...

It was in Buffalo - I was approved in Mississauga as a sponsor, then they sent it to Buffalo. Buffalo closed and then they transferred it to CPPO and then it got transferred to LA. Which is where it is now. For finalization - they have our passport. We wouldn't be here now if your theory was...

CP is dreadfully slow. That's why we sent it down to our US address ---- which really is only 2 hours away and we have to go down to land anyway (and move, technically!). We did USPS Express and I've got the tracking number. I check it multiple times a day. It's twisted. I can't wait for it to...

Our address never changed, but then we are doing it outland? so many that's why? They have our passport :)

Ahh, I read that wrong. I thought you had not included your fingerprint reports, etc. No idea what's holding it up. Have you emailed them to ask if you can get an update? That kicked them into high gear for me.

I can definitely understand your frustration. I'd be enraged... maybe it's time to do that CAIPS thing? where you get your notes? That might help. Alternatively, I've seen some people go to their MP.

I need to budget! I lack patience. They received mine yesterday. Did you express post back to your US address? I'm hoping to receive by November 2nd... EEK!
