Hey everyone My husband and I went to Etobicoke today for his landing and he finally got his PR!!! :D It's been a long wait and it's finally over. Good luck to anyone else who is waiting - hope you all hear some good news soon.

Hi folks Haven't been here in a while. My husband finally received a letter from CIC today that he will be contacted regarding a finalization interview at the Etobicoke office. Anyone have any idea what sort of questions are asked at the meeting?

Oh also, can we apply for a SIN card number despite not having a physical work permit? (We had the WP # given to us by one of the agents on the phone).

Hey everyone, haven't been on here for a while. So we had our AIP at the end of June. Work permit has been approved for about 2 months as well. We haven't received the work permit in the mail either. Medicals and PCC were done in first week of July and CIC acknowledged receiving them. My husband...

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad you got the good news :D.

My husband also received his AIP soon after and it said the OWP has been approved, which is why I was wondering when the physical copy shows up in the post?

Hi everyone, how long does it take for the OWP to arrive in the mail? We're still waiting on ours.

Thanks a lot Sophie! :)

Thanks :) We applied July 18th so they got to our applications last week I believe.

Good Morning folks, Just received an e-mail from CIC saying they've approved me as a sponsor. Any news is good news right? So will they be e-mailing my husband shortly thereafter or are they just starting second part of stage 1 now (in terms of assessing him)?

That's terrible! I thought medical and police certificates are part of second stage not first? Maybe they're being inundated with so many calls they're just trying to piss people off so we don't call anymore.

Another question folks: My husband needs to get two PCC's from two different countries. The first country (A) will process fairly quickly within 4-6 weeks whereas the second one (B) takes from 1 1/2 months up to 3 months. Would it look strange if we send Country A's PCC first and then follow...

Just a quick question everyone. Our application was received July 18th 2013 and process started August 14th 2013. Here on the forums, I keep seeing that CIC is currently processing July applications. Does this mean applications physically received in July OR those case files opened for...

Thanks Linden.

Oh, really? That's good to know but can we send these fingerprints for pcc's that need to be done internationally? We applied in July 2013 so we're expecting to hear from CIC soon (hopefully!) and since he has to get pcc's from two other countries and they also take their sweet time processing...

Yup, that is what our letter says :). Also wanted to put another question out there regarding PCCs. My husband is going to get his fingerprinting done for the PCC now. He lived in two other countries for over 6 months so he needs to get the PCC for those countries but as an inlander...

Actually, just noticed the google spreadsheet link in your signature for 2013 applications so that's given me a rough estimate. Quick question though, I noticed a lot of people submitted their pcc and medical files with the application - weren't they asked to resubmit these papers since most of...

Thank you for the clarification! That's certainly a relief to know and I'm a lot less panicked now :). Are you aware of the processing times for people whose applications were opened in August 2013 (Or summer 2013 in general)? I'm just curious how long it's taking these days.

How would I go about getting electronic case notes? Is there some sort of forms I need to send or an online application? Yes, I am in fact from Mississauga. Were you or anyone you know in a similar situation? Because this could mean that we are still in the regular inland application stream.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I applied for inland spousal application in July 2013 and CIC started processing on August 14, 2013. My husband received a letter in March 2014 (approximately as there is no specific date on the letter) that said his application has now been transferred to...
