@Jameslong: Yes, my SA email said that too. I received that in July. A month later, my wife received an email that her file had been transferred to Hong Kong. I don't know when the CIC actually sent the file, but there was six weeks between those two dates. @DKO: The COPR and Permanent...

Dko, CORP is a Confirmation of Permanent Residence. It's a separate sheet of paper you get when your passport is returned.

My wife got her COPR today! That was fast. She just sent her passport to Beijing a week and a half ago. Here's our timeline: July 15, 2015 - Applied August 13, 2015 - AOR August 15, 2015 - Sponsor approval September 28, 2015 - Application sent to HK visa office March 3, 2016 - Decision made...

My wife got her visa! That was fast. She just sent her passport to Beijing a week and a half ago.

Dko, My wife paid by bank transfer to their account in Beijing. We paid 200 RMB. The actual figure is closer to 180 RMB (passport transmission service charge + courier fee), but the website is confusing, so we sent extra to be safe. The bank information is here: ENGLISH (look under "Methods...

I think most of us here are at or near the end of the process. My wife sent her passport to Beijing. She got an email back the next day with confirmation and a tracking number. Much better than waiting in silence for five months :)

Dko, Was this the email you received? If so then yes, your application was approved. Congratulations! It seems that CIC sent you a Passport Request but forgot to update your ECAS file.

Congratulations ErinL!

Hello haq ali, We are still waiting. Mid-July application, Hong Kong visa office. Our last contact from the CIC was three months ago, when my wife's medical showed up in ECAS.

Dko, Yes, 18 months from July 2015. A few points: (1) The CIC website now shows 17 months, not 18. (2) This is an estimated processing time. Most applications are processed much faster. Many in this thread are near the end of the process already.

That's great to hear, 4Canucks and eranmatis! One step closer to the finish line!

Hi benitaagogo, Thanks for the reminder. I added my application details to the spreadsheet (JULY 2015 OUTBOUND, MAINLAND).

A reminder to anyone writing letters. Last month, Calgary MP Michelle Rempel asked the new Immigration Minister John McCallum if an influx of refugees would impact the processing of spousal visas. The Minister said there "would be no impact." Now that the CIC website is showing 18 months for...

ALazi, I am writing my MP too.

@ayrazar, I tried calling today, but was disconnected due to "high call volumes."

Am I missing something? People in this thread are suggesting this is a positive change. It "streamlines" the process. But it just streamlines how we see the process, not the process itself. This is less transparent than what we had before. By removing processing times by visa office, all...

Congratulations sham707!

Our eCAS was also updated to medical received. :)
