Were you able to figure this out? I have the same problem.

Hi soonihope, was it two weeks from the date you mailed until you received the passport? Not sure where in Canada you live, but could you let me know the date it was received in Ottawa and the date it was dispatched?

Congrats! How long did it take to issue visa? From the date your passport was received in Ottawa to the date it was dispatched?

I am starting to think this is political. Liberals want to rush and start processing 2016 cases without clearing the backlog from previous years to be able to say that they made parent sponsorship faster. It can now take a few months to get approval in the first stage vs. 5+ years under the...

7 people from 2016 batch on this forum have received sponsorship approval today. I don't understand what is going on with CIC under the Liberal government. It is a total non-sense! If they wanna do things fast, that's good, but it should not be at the expense of those who have been waiting in...

Congrats! When was your passport received in Ottawa? I am trying to see how long it takes to dispatch passport from the day it is received in Ottawa. Thanks.

As 2011 applicant, I agree with that. However, when 2014 and 2015 applicants are getting medical requests, 2011 applicants can't just sit and wait. If you are 2010 applicant, you are more than welcome to prepare and send a petition to the government asking them to process your application before...

Thank you for this info soonihope. All these years CIC photo measurements were 35 mm x 45 mm. It seems they have updated it to new sizes as of April 1, 2016 as per the link you posted. Just to double check: is this the photo requirements when you go for landing or is this the photo requirement...

When they ask for passports to be submitted, the only other thing that they ask is the photo? is it 45 mm x 35 mm size? And is it 2 photos per person? Do they ask for anything else? Thank you.

CIC call agents are useless. I wouldn't waste my time on that. Instead, contact your MP's office or e-mail John McCallum.

My MP's office told me the same thing by checking the processing times on CIC website. I told them that the processing times on CIC website is incorrect as CIC is not updating it, because I know for a fact that 2014 applicants are receiving sponsorship approvals. Then she took this message to...

I was told the same thing both by CIC call centre and my MP's office, but I pushed back hard with my MP's office saying that 2014 cases are being approved, and CIC sent me approval within a few days. After 2014 cases, now 2015 applicants are receiving sponsorship approvals ahead of 2011...

When they transfer applications to Ottawa vs. LVO, they look at home address, and the requirements of the IRP Act. Even though your parents had home address in the application, the file was transferred to Ottawa based on the IRP Act. Basically applications can be transferred to Ottawa even if...

Your studies have nothing to do with your PR application. You were 19 at the time of your application and your dependent status was locked in at that time. It doesn't matter if you continue studying or not. The only thing that can affect your dependent status is getting married.

LVO has asked us to fill IMM5562 - Supplementary Travel Information Form. The only travels were between the country of citizenship and the country of residence (Canada). I believe we don't need to mention these trips, but just would like to confirm with anyone who has experience with/knowledge...
