;D I take this under advisement. Spasibo!

My step-daughter has both a Ukrainian passport and a foreign passport, but my wife said that she required an original consent form from her ex-husband when she took her daughter on a vacation to Turkey this past summer. It would be great is she's considered an adult at 16 in Ukraine, but I'm...

Hi everyone. Thought I was finished here, but my wife has been checking the permanent residency and application documents returned to her by CIC, and we have a potential snag. We asked for the embassy in Kiev to return our original personal documents. However, the embassy (CIC) hasn't...

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone. After much time, most of which was wasted, I finally found a good itinerary, and a great price (KLM from Kiev, to Amsterdam, to Toronto, and then to Regina), with a reasonable layover in Toronto that allows for delays with Immigration. Sadly, my...

Just wondering if anyone who's gone through this lately can advise me, please. My wife and step-daughter are coming from Ukraine, so the routing of flights is limited, since they don't have the required transit visas for many countries (Schengen also expired a few years ago), and obtaining...

;D Just over 5 months and my wife and step-daughter have passports returned with permanent residency visas affixed! Booking flights as we speak. It's going to be a very merry Christmas!!! Good luck to you all and God bless. Thanks for the advice and support.

OK, hyperventilating here! I think we have official approval of PR. Can anyone clarify, please? This morning, I received an email (I'm acting as my wife's representative) indicating that the "processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete." We have been...

Complete frustration here, as it seems like some people have no sweat linking their applications and that it should only take a week or so after the application has been sent to the VO. Just wondering when I should consider ordering the notes for our application. We have ROA on May 30, 2016...

Just wondering when I should consider ordering the notes for our application. We have ROA on May 30, 2016 (email received June 17), and I have been approved as a sponsor (Decision Made = confirmation received Aug. 11, 2016). The file was sent to Kiev, Ukraine, our VO, and we were advised that...

You're 18 days ahead of our app being received, and we have the same visa office. Not that this is a predictable science, but I wonder if that gives me and my wife reason to be hopeful that within 3+ weeks (hell, even a month or two), we'll have a decision also! Man, would that be nice...

I tried 5 times to link our application, and to no avail. It won't link, and all the data has been entered correctly. Is anyone else having problems with something that should be straightforward? I used our application number and UCI number. I filled out a tech assistance request, but Lord...

Thanks! I'm acting as my wife's representative, so will I receive this? And, what exactly is an AOR2? We've sent everything in upfront, as well as all the requisite fees. Is it a irrelevant point if we've submitted everything?

Woohoo! SA email received this morning and the rest of the application has now been sent to Kyiv. Please, dear God, let this not take 10 months. Good luck to all others still waiting on SA. So, for the purpose of our May spreadsheet, is approval of my SA the AOR2?

Today is Day 70 waiting for news of my SA, which should be nothing but straightforward. The original processing time for SA, when our application was received was 43 days, and now it's up to 55 days. I called two full weeks ago and made an inquiry. The agent said that he would initiate a...

Today is Day 57 (PR app received on May 30, and started processing app on June 16) and waiting for my SA still. I called the CIC and the agent launched an inquiry for me, and said that I should expect a response to the inquiry in 3 months!!!! :o He also went on to say that it often doesn't...

Your tone implied ignorance on my part. Perhaps "idiot" was too strong of a word, but there's nothing rude or bad about my attitude. I'm merely attesting to what I saw, but sadly, can't prove. The fact that the notice has been modified, which I pointed out, seems to have been missed in your...

Yes, BCgirl1, that was the notice, but it has been modified/edited. What you provided was not the original post that I saw. Decoy24601, I know the difference between the "posted date" of the notice and a specific paragraph/section that detailed which applications would be considered in the mix...

I know what I saw in the notice that was posted on the CIC website, because it was THRILLING, and I couldn't believe our luck. I should have taken a screenshot to prove it, damnit! Maybe it was an error on CIC's part, which is why the notice has since been edited, but I distinctly saw it state...

Step 1 complete and . . . EXHALE! I'm waiting on the SA as well. Our timeline: Application received: May 30th AOR1: June 17th Waiting on the SA Tried to login in to check our application status with our UCI, but it doesn't recognize my login info (can't access ECAS). Does this happen after I...

I KNOW that I saw somewhere on an official CIC page, and if memory serves, it was the actual announcement from CIC, that the cutoff to deal with the backlog was June 13th, and that applications received after June 13th wouldn't benefit from the fast tracking of the backlog, but the end result...
