Thank you for this! That screenshot is helpful. The COPR document came with his passport w/ Visa from VFS. He had gone to the Canadian Embassy before leaving and they told him to "make sure he brings this document and keep it in his records upon arrival" thus he had it on his person at the...

Okay thank you. Have been waiting through this process for a good two years was almost certain stamping of the passport was the last step but have been so busy didn't double check. We sent his passport to VFS a vac centre and they stamped his passport with a VISA. It is unclear to me whether...

Hi All, My husband had his visa stamped and is literally enroute now. Would he have received the COPR via email? We received a letter from CIC titled that "your visa appears to be ready" with instructions is that the same as the COPR? Does the COPR indicate on it that you have to bring it with...

Thanks Acecube. Despite the wait, we are both just excited at this point and our son doesn't know anything yet so he'll be surprised to see his dad at the airport. Congrats to MissSa and Zaara too.

Yes, we paid for the RPRF back in October 2013. Okay, we've included the RPRF receipt in addition to the photos and annex A. Thanks for the advice. It would be great if he could come for xmas but no sweat even if it takes longer at least a positive decision has been made.

Yes, thanks for the advice! The letter provided a link to the VFS website and we nearly ignored it but I thought let me just contact them. They were very helpful and let me know that no we can't just send in the passport and photos to the VFS as the letter stated but need to sign VFS's consent...

Received a letter today saying that our application was finalized w/ instructions for sending in passport.

So I'm an epidemiologist . Today was scanning the literature to find a study in infectious disease because I have to teach a critical appraisal workshop . Found this which may be of interest: Aldridge R.W., Yates T.A., Zenner D., White P.J., Abubakar I., & Hayward A.C. (2014). Pre-entry...

No, they haven't acknowledged receipt of medicals. My husband went back to request the tracking sheet from the panel physician but they refused to give it to him so we are hoping this doesn't affect us - I emailed them about this. Also thanks for the encouragement... On another note, did you...

Yeah, I think my son has suffered. After maternity leave I sent him to be with my aunt in the Caribbean when I started a new job, after six months he returned and then my husband convinced me to send my son to him in Zambia since he wasn't working and now he's back and my son spends 3 nights a...

Hi Wayne, It appears that we have similar timelines. I think I'm on month 20 - frankly, it's a blurr, the last time I counted time in months was when my toddler was a baby. Anyways, I filled a case specific complaint and within a week or so our application went into process -...

"Granting immediate permanent residency to new spouses entering Canada, rather than imposing a two-year conditional status that puts spouses – often women – in a position of extreme vulnerability." I think the plans looks very good - although I'll read more in depth after work. As for...

I think I will stop by the liberal candidates office to show my appreciation for this campaign promise. It means a lot to our family that this is considered a priority...

We have a lawyer. The first time we sent our spousal application it was returned due to a missing document (that was my fault - a police record was stuck in mail and I sent it off anyways) so we wasted three months and it's taken about 20 months so far so we've invested 23 months with a lawyer...

Hi Acecube, Thanks for the reply. Yes! That's what was missing this time - the "tracking sheet". We got it the first time but that panel physician no longer provides medicals (I suspect because of complaints - they wanted my husband to pay a bribe to get his medical) Anyways, new panel...

My husband just did a redo of his medical exam and he was told that it would be emailed (or electronically transmitted). When he did it the first time though he received a paper-based form too, which had his passport picture amended and we sent that in to the VO. Is it all done completely...

I think this is why CIC should be more proactive rather than reactive to challenges within their immigration system. It is possible that they will have to redirect or reallocate resources (e.g., human resources, $) to the refugee immigration program. In my eye, it is more an issue of poor...

Our application went into process and we received a letter asking us to redo our medicals and police security checks ($$). The docs sent in are two years old now if you can imagine. I must say that I had no (+) emotions hearing about some movement on our application – for me it was best to...

Ok, will definitely update the police clearances. Thought the VO could only extend the medical a year beyond its expiry? In my case notes it says, 'meds expire Sep 2014 no new one requested' . So Sep 2015 would be beyond 1 year?

I was thinking that my husband should redo his medicals and his police clearances. This September his medical will be expired by 2 years and the police clearances will be approaching 2 years. Our cases notes made mention of the upcoming expiry. Will they reject the documents ?
