My friends got the same email and they waited about a year for another email stating the date and time of the interview. They were asked to bring additional documents as proof of relationships to the interview as well. Be patient and good luck.

The fact that you say that you are like "buddies" doesn't help at all. I saw a list of possible interview questions somewhere on this forum and I remember seeing a question: "How is your relationship with your girlfriend/wife different that that of a female friend" or something along those...

This does not have anything to do with Immigration, does it? I suggest you try asking your question in a different forum.

Well, what are they supposed to say? We don't even know if this strike will happen or not so they can't make any decision. And if the strike does happen, CIC will probably just say DO NOT USE CANADA POST TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION, which is kind of obvious. And for PR cards, they will...

If you apply Inland, and she maintains legal status, she will get an Open Work Permit relatively quick, about 4-5 months. You need to send the application form for OWP together with the Sponsorship application. However, I believe that the Open Work Permit states "Does not authorize to study in...

When Canada Post went on strike 5 years ago, I was in the middle of my Canadian Citizenship application. They sent me a letter requesting Fingerprints/RCMP clearance, and I received this letter months after. Normal processing time for these applications was about a year back then, and mine took...

My question was what have you done about it so far? What has your MP done? What exactly is CIC saying?

You are right...you probably won't. At least not with this attitude. I know how frustrating it can be, but there has to be something you can do about it. What have you done so far?

Does anyone remember how long the Canada Post strike lasted in 2011?

I'm assuming you are still waiting for your card?

Submit a Case Specific Enquiry through their website. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx I would also continue calling until you get through. You can also go see your MP and they can call on your behalf. They have a different phone number so they get...

You can't. You need your file number or UCI.

Actually, some offices DO have Service Canada stations at their locations and they are able to issue your SIN there. Which office are you landing at? Your landing letter will tell you whether you can obtain your SIN there.

I find that, even though they say they don't need a Police Certificate from Canada (Fingerprints), they request it very often. So it's a good idea to send it upfront. It's only about $40 to get it done and it can significantly reduce your wait time, since they won't have to request it. Same goes...

What kinds of documents do you plan to submit? Also, are you applying Inland or Outland?

Honestly, they issued many similar statements in the past, and the processing times just keep getting longer instead. I am really curious to see what's going to happen in the next few months.

Doing an upfront medical is a really good idea. It saves you a lot of time since you don't have to do it once they ask for it, but don't count on it speeding up the processing. I kept sending them more documents throughout the year and I had to wait for my turn. Also, I noticed that they always...

I believe you have to answer yes to both d) and e) just to be safe.

In the Schedule A form, question 6, point d: Answer yes, and at the bottom it says: If your answer to any of these questions is YES, provide the details below.

Yeah that's pretty scary. I am very curious to see what's going to happen with all the application that have been submitted already. They will be processed even slower, because all of their time and effort will be put into the new applications. Let's just follow the timeline to see if they...
