eCoPR came quickly (3-4 days after completing the info on the PR portal). Photo/address are taking a bit longer (uploaded Oct 1, still waiting for review on both)

Probably too late for this one, but we had our spousal application returned because we used Docusign, they wanted a pen and paper :-( Resubmitting with ink signatures for everything now.

Hello Admins. Got an Oath letter dated June 5th, for a oath ceremony at July 1st, making it my last update. Thank you for providing such an amazing anxiety-controlling device, hope my data helps other people with their estimates!

> I hope you meant, your test was on May 14 and DM on May 16 Yes, thank you for noticing my silly mistake!

Passed my test/interview on May 16 , ECAD showed the update today. Admins: Could my entry on the spreadsheet be updated, please? ID: chesterbr ECAS updated ("Decision Made"): May 18

My test (originally due to April 18 on Missisauga) was cancelled the day before due to the flooding, but rescheduled on the day after for May 14. Admin, not sure whether the spreadsheet should be updated in such a case, but if you believe so: - ID: chesterbr (line 550) - Test invite...

No, actually it was Mississauga. Thank you.

Got my invite letter on ECAS! (and realized I forgot to get myself added to the spreadsheet ) Can someone please add me? Id: chesterbr Location: Toronto App Type: Single App Sent: Oct 12, 2017 App Delivered: Oct 16, 2017 AOR: Nov 21, 2017 In Process ecas: Dec 13, 2017 Test Invite letter/ecas...

FWIW: My AEO is based on an offer from my current employer (to whom an LMO had already been issue, and the AEO was tied to it). I've done my re-entry at Rainbow Bridge a few weeks ago, and was surprised to find that the border agent asked me for either a confirmation that I was indeed working...

Technically yes - we crossed the bridge, went to the US (needing US visas at this point), then crossed back to Canada. *In theory*, you could leave and re-enter without doing the cross (as we went forth and back through the same side of the bridge), but I'm not sure if the frontier officer would...

Thanks kaytea and everyone. Just to register here, I've successfully crossed the bridge to land (and spent a great time in Niagra - cold, but no crowds, being able to go anywhere without lines beats good weather for me :) ). One thing worth mentioning: Even though I had an Arranged Employment...

(for the record, mine was not Provincial Nomination, but I guess at this point of the process should not make a difference)

Mine took 4 business days (6 total) between the day the envelope arrived and the day the return envelope was posted. Pretty fast IMHO. As a curiosity, the visa issue date was actually one day earlier than the day I received the email to send the passport (so I'd assume they pre-print them and...

I'm also on the same boat: just got my CoPR and will likely go to Niagara this weekend. Question: once I get there (will go by bus), can I cross the border walking, or do I need to take a bus/cab? Has anyone here done that in Niagara? Any tips/advice? Thank you!

I'm not driving anymore (in 2005 I simply decided to sell my car, never looked back), but I can imagine how the weather affects even shorter commutes just from a single Ottawa-Toronto bus trip I did a few weeks before the cold wave. Still, that is Canada. Anyone that came not expecting cold was...

To get back to the original topic, I always warn people that consider immigration that yes, Canada has a social behaviour of its own, which can be taken as "cold" by some, but I personally define as "polite and respectful of boundaries". But that's just me.

One thing that *surely* helped me was visiting the country before moving. I know it can be pretty hard/infeasible, but visiting as many places as you can before taking such a decision is highly recommended (unless, of course, you are on a "can't get worse" situation). We often have no idea of...

Hi! Is there any place on the instructions where it is stated that you are supposed to bring a photo for her upon entering? I can't remember anything like that...

Ah, my bad - I thought 3 was the minimum threshold (but indeed it was the # of posts I had at the time). Once again, thanks for the clarification(s)!

Although, to be fair, I have 4 already (not counting this) and still don't see the options. Maybe the threshold increase, let's wait and see... (waiting is a skill that anyone applying for immigration develops pretty quickly :P )
