Congrats Robhi! I know we applied around the same time but yours was quite delayed! my husband and I live in Toronto too. when we got the COPR we went to buffalo to "land". There was a lane where you can turn around before getting to the US customs so you head back to the Canadian customs. Only...

My husband officially "landed" on Saturday. We drove to the buffalo border but turned around and went straight to Canada customs. It only took about 10 minutes. They asked for our marriage certificate which I didn't expect but luckily we had it on us.

We received our COPR in the mail today and will be crossing the border to "land" this weekend. I have updated the spreadsheet. we are so excited, hopefully there will be some more positive updates from the rest of august soon!!

We are definitely in the home stretch. we are supposed to receive the COPR tomorrow and then we will be crossing the border this weekend for my husband to officially "land"! I would imagine the he should have it by August. if this all goes as planned, the whole process would have taken us about...

I sent mine to Mississauga on August 28th. I didn't hear anything until October 22nd so it could still be a month or 2 before you hear anything. on October 22nd they emailed me saying I was approved as a sponsor and that our application had been sent to Sydney.

Thanks so much, this is a relief!

I think bagel is right. My husband got the Canadian police check but I don't think it was necessary.

We are currently waiting for COPR which should be coming soon. Once we get this, its my understanding that the PR card can take quite some time to arrive. We have a wedding to go to in England in May. If my husband has "landed" but doesnt have the actual PR card yet, can he still travel?

My lawyer told me I'd have to wait a lot longer but she was wrong. I found that she didn't know much more than me. I wouldn't worry so much. I got more useful info from this forum than my lawyer

wish I had known that I could email the passport copies instead of couriering it...oh well! what happens when we get the COPR? My husband is here (in Mississauga) on a visitor visa with me. I guess we will have to cross at Buffalo to officially "land"??

You will only have to send photo copies :) that's what they requested. I wish there was a way to just email the copies but they instructed to physically mail it which cost me $90 there an $90 return with ups. Ouch

Actually it was weird, we checked ecas at 430pm and it still said application received. but then 2 hours later I got an email requesting the passport copies. Ecas never changed to in process at all

I just received an email last night requesting my husbands passport i guess people call this PPR? How do we send in the copy of the passport? A bit confused with the mailing options. also, what happens once they receive the passport copy? was wondering of someone can rune through the process :)

Robhi, you are almost at the 6 month mark. the time starts when they first receive the file. Mississauga got mine on August 28th so my 6 month mark is feb 28th. FYI. You're almost at yours too.

Hey Robhi, we filed only a few days apart. I just looked into this caips thing and I think I'm going to do it.... wouldn't hurt. sick of waiting for this

On the CIC website under "check application", it says that the updates only get changed on Tuesdays. Is this true? Should I stop checking once a day?

Mine says the same too... "Medical Documents Received"... so frustrating. I don't think I'll actually enquire until the 9 month mark if I haven't heard anything yet... don't want to tick them off.

I'm desperately waiting for ecas to change to "in process"... judging by the spreadsheet, by 5 months it should have changed to "in process". Has anyone else who submitted in August 2012 has this change yet?? I'm assuming Sydney is a bit behind...

Hi Mel, Don't worry too much, you should get sponsor approval any day now. I would assume that CIC would be a few days behind given the Christmas holidays. Once you get sponsor approval, the package will get sent to Sydney. Once Sydney receives it they will send you an email and a link to track...

Hi Marie-Lou, Since your Aussie man worked in Canada for a year... yes he will need a police clearance from Canada. I don't have any experience with Inland, all I know is it takes longer. If you get all of your documents together you could apply for outland right now. Going rate is 6 months of...
