    **OCTOBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    congrats! i landed yesterday too, in calgary international airport. there was no line-up and it went very smoothly--in fact i asked them more questions than they asked me.

    Waiting period after DESICION MADE ????????

    it's very likely a positive decision. the wait time might indicate a mistake on their part. i believe someone recently posted here that they waited a while without receiving any correspondence until they contacted CIC directly. i think it wouldn't hurt to do the same, especially if CIC is under...

    landing at Pearson with connecting flight

    hi all, does anyone have experience landing at Toronto Pearson before making a connecting flight? the letter that came with my CoPR asks that i "allow sufficient time before any connecting flight" during the landing process, but does not hint at how much time should be sufficient. the flight...

    just got my CoPR! there's something that i'm having trouble with on the letter accompanying the CoPR. it says, "Please visit the Moving to Canada Web sites of the Canada Border Services Agency at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/mtc-dac-eng.html ... for information on the procedures and...

    **OCTOBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

    just logged in to MyCIC and saw "Your application was approved"! return envelope has not been activated yet. i've been paranoid about this as well. but judging by the october and september spreadsheets, the majority of people up to this point have taken at least a week to receive their CoPR...

    Received Confirmation of permanent residence (CoPR)

    here's my take: on one hand, if you've received CoPR once then chances are good you can do so again after letting it lapse. on the other hand, if you can afford to pay all the fees again a second time, maybe you can afford to, instead, visit your wife once in a while until you're ready to move...

    Extension to become common law

    my situation is similar. for the "funds" question, i put the amount of money i had in my bank account plus an amount my parents pledged to give me. then, in my separate letter of explanation, i stated that this money would be going mostly to incidental expenses, and that my spouse and...
