Been away from the forum for a while, mainly to keep sane :). But happy to report that after 8.5 months our application has been approved :D. A total of 16 months since starting that first piece of paperwork (think it was WES application), then applying for SINP and finally PR back in November...

I say this not to be confrontational but the point of these forums is that we collectively provide the best information for people to use. Note the wording. They say 'In general' this leaves the statement open to possible exceptions. And when you look at what is required if you live in...

Correct me if there is other info out there but it seems to say clearly that a Canadian PCC is not required unless they ask for one, see below from CIC website. For those that advise it is different for sponsored family members where is the guideline? >>>> Do I need to provide a Police...

Anyone?

Thanks, so I assume than that no-one is arranging up front medicals(if this is possible with thus type of application) as no-one is sure how long process may take. Best to wait on CIC to request it?

Anyone have ideas of what the realistic time frame is from the sponsor being cleared to finalization of PR for sponsored parents?

Anyone have to do this in their PR application. If yes,how? Thanks

Anyone done this in their PR application If yes, how?

Anyone get any further with plans to sponsor parents and dependent sibling, has another topic been started on this?

Anyone successful in, or known of anyone who has sponsored parents and adult dependent sibling? The sibling is dependent on parents due to a learning disability. I would appreciate all thoughts and especially those from people who have done this. Is it possible?

Did your Review of eligibility ever go to Passed? I am honestly wondering what the point of the myCIC status updates is? It seems like a lot goes on that is not reported on the updates. How do you go from background check in progress to PPR in one day? This seems to happen often. So surely...

Congrats, and well done

Yes having that plan B in place helps, what I hate is CIC taking 3-4 months to tell you something "fixable" is wrong. I understand security checks and background checks, but surely incomplete application, clerical errors, insufficient funds etc can be determined quickly. Plan B's can get...

Ha! Tried this but now I have to run more to lose the extra weight... and I still have no PR

Application in and now you wait, knowing that your fate is very much out of your hands... How do you, or how did you, survive without going completely crazy? Throw yourself into your work, pray to the Gods above, run a marathon everyday? Or did you just wait patiently for your turn? I know...

Does the review of eligibility actually move from "in progress" to "passed"? Or do you assume that once they start your background check you have move passed the eligibility round?

What I am trying to establish is the margin of error that you can have, based on previous rejections or acceptance of POFs. Has CIC actually told anyone they missed the mark by a few hundred dollars so they are not accepted?

Yes, this is what I expect. My issue is this: two weeks before my application I had almost 500 CAD more than my required amount at that exchange rate. A month before I had close to 800 CAD more than the threshold. I can just hope the officer does not apply the letter of the law, otherwise I...

Anyone get rejected for having insufficient funds? If yes, by how many dollars did you miss the required amount. If I take what I had in cash minus credit card debt the total amount available on the day of application was ~ CAD 250 less than amount required (Due to exchange rate fluctuation)...
