I applied in Oct. 2010, got AIP in Oct. 2011, and they said to not expect to land until June 2012. This has taken forever, but I have my OWP now and I travel to the states every once in a while to see family. I hope I don't have to get the medicals redone, because they were expensive

I got AIP/OWP sometime in October 2011 (applied in October 2010). Still waiting for that. A friend of mine on a similar timeline got his 1st and 2nd stage approval in September 2011. The difference was that he had no implied worker status, so I have the feeling they expedite those cases so...

CONGRATS TOZO! We're in the exact same boat. I got my OWP and just yesterday a letter arrived that explained AIP, but I'm still waiting for 2nd stage. I wish you and I both got 2nd stage at the same time, but I'm happy with AIP for now. Hopefully it goes quickly. I need to stop checking my...

It looks like this answers my questions and makes me more excited that PR could be on the way soon!! Have a great weekend everyone!

My Status just updated to this: We received your application for permanent residence on October 29, 2010. We started processing your application on December 9, 2010. We received the requested information on February 9, 2011. Thank you for providing the information. A decision has been...

Congrats to everyone who's getting some movement on their files. Another Friday has come without any news on my end, but I just want to remind everyone to enjoy their weekends, pursue your hobbies if you don't have a work permit, and be glad that we can Skype our families back home for free in...

Mine took 12 weeks exactly. I put a note on it asking them to process it as quickly as possible, but I don't know if it helped. If you put a cover letter with your PR application explaining that the police clearance hasn't come yet, they'll add it on when you send it in. This what they told...

Very happy for you, Latvian! Congratulations! I think you got in just before the Great August Slowdown at CIC. Maybe the rain on the west coast will bring some people back to work early. On another note, so sad to hear about Jack Layton. On a forum populated entirely by immigrants, I'd like...

I'm Oct. 29th and haven't heard anything yet. Checking the website and the mail every morning. I'll definitely post when it comes through so you don't have to rely on the never-changing Oct. 12th date that they're stuck on.

I have heard horror stories about leaving a field blank, but I have also talked to call centre agents who have said that they will only send it back if the lack of an N/A creates ambiguity. For example, if you check a box saying that you have no children, then you don't have to write N/A where...

A friend of mine just got 1st stage and his application was received on Oct 3rd 2010. Here's hoping October (and everyone else's) AIP comes through soon!

Congratulations Pipi! This gives me hope that mine will arrive in about a month.

You might want to call the cic info line about the return and the subsequent processing date. It looks like a mistake on their part. I didn't actually send them any additional info, but because my medical results were sent separately (from the clinic), I think they arrived later and that's...

Welcome to the forum. I'm pretty new too. I'm 2 days behind you - Received on Oct 29 and began processing on Dec. 9, 2010. Does your online status mention that they have begun processing your file? It must, if they are acknowledging additional info sent. Crossing my fingers to have AIP by...

Hi Love Young. Here are my stats if you want to put them in the new chart: App received: Oct 29, 2010, processing began Dec. 9, 2010, and all requested information was received Feb 9, 2011. Thank you so much for compiling all of this. I really appreciate that there are people out there...

Hi, I just posted a very worried post, but now I'm not too sure I have anything to worry about. I looked at my application and I think I did exactly the same thing that an OWP application is and attached a copy of my current PGWP to show I had valid status still. So I don't think I did...

Thanks Jurjen and Ditta, I'll call on Monday and ask about my application. I checked the box to extend the conditions of my visa, on grounds that I was applying for PR. I never applied for a separate OWP though - just an extension of my post-grad that I included with my PR application. I...

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but I think this is the right thread. I'll introduce myself and give my stats for comparison's sake, and I do have a few questions if anyone has a good answer to them. I read a lot of good advice but there are a few things that I'd like to have clarified. I am...
