    Just updating my status as I was looking at how to get my passports now. Would somebody be so kind to share any hint for passport request by mail (due to COVID19)? Is it just straightforward ? I am following this...

    Given the pandemy and whether you need to travel at any point in time before July which might be hard with the pandemy anyway, it might be wise to renew your PR card as a safeguard.

    CAS status seems to be unreliable. I got the email invite for the test Dec 20th 2019, and cleared the test Jan 15th, 2020. It has changed to DM beginning of this week but there was no update on CAS from Nov 20th 2019 which was about fingerprint request. So it is very much YMWV

    Outcome from the meetings between governments earlier this week - you should see by now the kind of announcements which will continue to be adjusted as the situation evolves.

    Yes COVID-19 will very soon affect the Oath ceremonies the same way it is going to affect March break and the rest of the economy. Watch for the upcoming announcement before the break next week and you will have an idea of the impact. While I was hoping for an Oath ceremony invite in March, my...

    Can you point me at the number you called please? Don't want to sound too harsh but it did not sound like an answer but more of a tactic to get you to wait a bit longer :D

    Glad you passed the test - hopefully the instructions I shared with you to get there worked. I cleared the test on Jan 15 in Ottawa and was told 4 to 6 weeks for the invite to come in. It will have been 8 weeks at the end of next week. The website still shows 'in Progress' with the latest...

    In Ottawa, did mine on Jan 15 at 10:45am. Arrived early like 10:15am and finished after the interview around 12-ish. It depends on a few factor I would say. Amount of people invited at the same time as you (hard to predict) Time of the day for your test - I entered the room 10:40am something...

    Thank you that is interesting. I was invited to take the test and took it successfully on Jan 15 but the line around the notice has never showed on my ECAS. I guess I will send them a note.

    Thanks, can you elaborate on what the 'In Process' page showed while you were waiting after the test, so for your case, between December the 23 and the Decision made date - Feb 14? Mine shows the last update being the FP request for which I received the notification and answered right away. My...

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    Just an update on my situation Landed on the 5th of July 2014 but was still waiting for my wife's card. Finally got an update while calling CIC last week. They apparently called my wife although they had 4 numbers, two of which had nothing to do with mine, on the 31st of October asking for a...

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    Depends how lucky you think you are going to be at the CIC lottery. If I were you I would delay the trip, alternatively you can book a trip that you can cancel, something like pay more upfront but be sure you can cancel and recover as much money as possible. Given my experience, I don't see how...
