Thanks so much everyone and for the personal experience: that makes me feel better. After you provided the evidence Brucem, how long did it take to get approval? Thanks!

Hello: My husband is an American and we both live in the U.S. And we are planning on moving back to Canada. We applied for PR in November and We received an email today asking for evidence that the sponsor (me) will move once the applicant gets PR status. Has anyone been through this? What do...

Thanks all. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but I have been surprised by some of the things that are considered big deals by CIC, so thought I would at least get a second opinion.

Hello All; I am a Canadian, and my husband is American. We are on month 7 of waiting for paperwork. We originally planned on moving to Ontario (that is where I grew up) as my job is flexible and can work from home in different locations. My husband was recently offered a job out west in...

Anyone on here living in the US? It used to be that US applications were going through super fast, but now they seem to be in a stand still. It's driving me crazy not knowing anything, as my husband and I both live in US until he can get approved for PR in Canada, but in order to move, we need...

I am new to this thread, and may be a bit early in the process (my outland submission from US was received November 4, 2014), but I am trying to figure out a few things. At the time of submission, we didn't have the FBI fingerprint information on file. When I received sponsorship, I sent the...

It depends on who you get. My parents who are Canadian citizens own an RV and travel to the US for 6 months a year. One time they basically just had someone come in and talk to them, do a general inspection and let them go. Another time, they went through everything they had in the RV, and...

I am in the same boat but it's reversed. I am the Canadian, and my husband is the American. We are going to wait for our approval before we move, but we originally discussed that if it took a long time, we would do a similar thing. I would move back with all our stuff, and my husband would fly...

Thanks Chezvelo! Yes, I should definitely focus on the positive! I just wish I had known on the 3rd to avoid the past two days of angst/worrying, but oh well, it's over now! Thanks for letting me know what was in the letter. Based on what you said, I am not going to worry too much about that...

I called CIC as it was now past the date of my application being received, and the lady said I was approved, and the letter was sent to my email on February 3rd. She indicated I needed to go in and check my junk mail. I went in and did it, but there is still nothing there (as I had checked...

I have been obsessively checking my ecas... I have decided I need to just do it twice a day. I did check my spam folder, but the original AOR came through fine, so I would think the SA would too. I also have been checking the mail everyday, and nothing has come in. I just wonder if whoever has...

I agree, I think they stopped!! :o My package was received on November 4, 2014, and I received the AOR on January 15th, and I have not received my SA yet (even though those around me have!). Every time I hear my email go off on my phone I get my hopes up that it's the CIC, but never is...

I had the same luck as chezvelo.... got all the way to the end, and then couldn't get transferred! Oh well, we do need to be patient I supose, but man oh man is it hard when you see the process moving around you, but nothing happening with your application.

Congratulations to all that have gotten their SA. I must admit when I look at the spreadsheet it is causing severe anxiety, as although I got my AOR on the 15th, I still haven't got my SA, so everyone around me is dark blue except me....... I checked ecas and it's still saying applicaiton...

Yes, I did. Just says "Application Received", although I am not sure if it's always accurate as someone said they got an email of SA approval, and their ecas wasnt updated from the same "Application Received" status.

I was one of the first to receive my AOR, and I still haven't received my SA. I think like someone said earlier, it will depend on how much info you sent, and what officer received your package (fast or slow!). I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I will get it by the end of this week...

Good news everyone... They are starting to look at November applications! :D On the 16th I received my AOR...so they are moving! And looking at Elle's message above, the letter indicates if you have August forms or later you would be okay, which we all would be if we missed the November...

I can't believe that they would start it from scratch!! Did you ask the CIC about those applications that were submitted prior to the release of the new application form? When I submitted, the November form was not posted to the website (sent on November 4th). It just seems crazy that they...

Seriously... 81 days. >:( I hope they are really fast on the tail end of it then like rcohen said. This is beyond disheartening, especially when you look back through spreadsheets, even as recently as the summer and see how fast people were getting their stuff. I was waiting for a letter of...

no luck getting through.. basically said too any callers, and kicked me off. Hopefully someone else will have better luck. The number I called outside of Canada was 1-613-944-4000 and followed the prompts, which sent me to the Call Centre.
