I think I got the correspondence on Friday of last week, but it could have been earlier. I was out of town Wed-Fri, so I only was able to check when I got home.

Turns out it was, in fact, a request for fingerprints. I got them done today and they sent them directly. Now I wait once again!

Status updated to In Process on Feb 23! These two notes on my account: We started processing your application on February 23, 2018. We sent you correspondence on February 26, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible...

One quick question... should ECAS show the AOR as well? I received it via email, but ECAS still says "Withdrawn" as the status (I assume from my original application way back).

AOR received today! Updated details: Application Sent: Dec 12 2017 Application Received: Dec 15, 2017 AOR: Jan 26, 2018 Application Type: Single Physical Presence: 1731 City: Vancouver, BC

Application Sent: Dec 12 2017 Application Received: Dec 15, 2017 Application Type: Single Physical Presence: 1731 Aor: Waiting City: Vancouver, BC This is my second application. I applied under the old requirements in March 2017, but unfortunately my physical presence calculator had an absence...

I received the AOR yesterday and eCAS has updated today. No word yet on if my withdrawal letter and form has been received or if it will process. Not sure if the call centre can help with that, or if I just have to play the waiting game. Most likely since they have put it in the system they are...

I received my AOR from my original application today. No idea if my withdrawal letter arriving a day after will save me from having to pay again. Not sure what to do at the moment. Just waiting...

And one more note about leaving a buffer... Even if you think you've got *everything* correct, there could still be some mistakes that swing things by a day on any given trip. Have you ever... - Had a flight that was supposed to arrive late on one day, but got delayed until the next? - Had a...

It's not *necessary* to do any of those things. That said... 1) If you don't have a good record of your entries and exits, I'd definitely recommend ordering your entry/exit records just to be sure. If you want to avoid that hassle, look at stamps in your passport, receipts and emails, and...

I hope so, too! I sent an express withdrawal letter today on the suggestion of the call centre explaining the reason for the withdrawal and asking for a return and refund. Hoping they get this and process it before the application. In the meantime I am prepping revised paperwork for applying...

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not waiting for the buffer. I know better. But, what's done is done. That's the link the call centre person directed me to, but she also instructed me to send the withdrawal letter now before I have a case file number and that the full $630 would be refunded/not...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it seems to put me off by 1 day. I could have sworn when I did the calculation awhile back that I had this right, but my mistake for not having the buffer. I called CIC and they said I needed to mail a withdrawal form and letter immediately before they...

Just a public service announcement for everyone in here from another hopeful April 2017 applicant... Make sure you have a significant buffer on your physical presence calculation. I prepped my documents months ago. Circled the date on the calendar. And I mailed it off a few hours ago. And then...

This. So much this. The calculator didn't save my last addition and I didn't catch it. I mailed my application earlier today. Found the mistake when I filed the duplicate copies I made when I got home. No way to stop it as far as I know. Is there a way to request it to be returned? Because if...

I just mailed mine today and unfortunately made the same mistake. I had two versions of the physical presence calculator printed out. One was from before Christmas and I accidentally included that one instead of the one that included the Christmas trip home. I'm still eligible on the date of the...
