    Settled in Quebec - Moving to another province possible?

    Hmmm I thought PRs can live anywhere in Canada, however they wish?? Why would you be forced to stay in Quebec for 2 years though? Does your husband's COPR state that he must remain in Quebec for the next 2 years? I'll let the other members chime in though.....as I don't have much experience...

    AOR - Timelines! 5 months and counting - Inland

    Re: AOR - Timelines! 5 months and counting 5 months is way, way, way too long (most people get an AOR within a month or less). In our case, we got no AOR in 3-4 weeks, and I immediately sensed that something must've gone wrong. Sure enough, something did go wrong......our paperwork apparently...

    Not trying to discourage you or anything, but when it comes to dealing with the SVO, a little patience is our friend. It took my wife 15 months (from applying to getting her visa -- and our case was a straightforward one (meaning, no issues whatsoever). Difficult cases could even take 2 years or...

    Singapore timeline

    Your wife's visa will expire either 1 year since her latest medical exam, or when her passport expires; whichever comes first. To get a full passport for your baby, your baby will need to get a Canadian citizenship certificate. However I believe it takes around 9 months for a citizenship...

    Moving to another country after PR application has been submitted?

    I kind of don't understand the CIC's logic...? Before the application is finalised: sponsors (if outside Canada) have to provide proofs of intent to return, or else the application is at risk of getting denied. Yet after PR's been granted: sponsors can be outside Canada, and if a sponsored...

    Doesn't have to be done in Singapore. Your spouse can get it done where he lives, in Malaysia.

    I think it's faster now. My wife landed in May (2014) and at that time, the PR card timeline was longer than it is now ;).

    My wife got her passport, visa, and COPR, about 34 days after her eCAS status changed to "Decision Made". If it's been 2 months (or more) since you guys got "Decision Made" and you still haven't received anything back, I highly suggest that you guys get your sponsor to request an MP to inquire...
