I would worry more about to have it notarized than translated as you are sending a photocopy of it. Authenticity is probably of a bigger concern to an officer. We had not have it translated and had no problem but don't take it as an advice as it is your call.

Thank you for the information. In fact the letter has a link that has detailed information as to how to submit the passport. It is a Visa Application Center (vfsglobal.ca). I was wondering the time it takes to have the visa stamped and returned to the applicant. Based on information from a post...

Anyone has experience submitting passport in person to Visa Application Center (VAC) in Istanbul? What is the turnaround time? Thank you.

Good day Fellow Ankara Applicants I am glad to say that we have received PPR this morning. I wish everyone a speedy process and thank you all for your support and sharing of your experiences. I found these forums very helpful. Neither my E-cas nor myCIC is updated so do not put too much faith...

No email was sent when the background check changed to "In Progress". Only email was for the document request sent directly to the email address provided. Nothing on ECAS or myCIC either for the request or the confirmation of receipt. My ECAS is even stuck in "In process" for the SA side even...

Yes it is very strange. ::) We were all hoping things might get even faster in the new year. Ankara requested updated police report and travel history form on Dec 9. We sent required documents Dec 14 and they are received by Ankara Dec 16. (postal tracking) Background check went into "In...

I would suggest waiting to receive the letter of acknowledgement as the information on police certificate is time sensitive. I guess that is the purpose they are no longer accepting upfront police certificates because they want to see the most up to date information. If you are planning to ask...

Hi there There are really good notes in separate threads regarding linking application to myCIC account. Based on what you have mentioned you may be having difficulty in the number of applicants field. (the very last field if I remember correctly) Try inputting 1,2,3,4 or even 5. Otherwise, if...

My Background Check is changed to "In Progress" this morning. Review of Eligibility is still "Review in Progress". Encouraging to see some progress during holiday season. Wishing everyone a speedy process and season's greetings. Cheers :D

Thanks pmc92. Is it ok to have consent form signed by my wife and upload a photo of the completed and signed form while requesting GCMS notes? (It is me who will be requesting the notes) I might be asking for the Sponsorship file as well just out of curiosity ;D Also, what is the cut-off date...

Hi Fellow Ankara VO Applicants I am wondering whether anyone had any experience with sending requested documents by mail. (rather than uploading) I have received document request December 9 for updated police report and supplementary travel form. The forms are received December 16 based on...

Thanks for the information. Hope to hear back from Ankara or see some updates before year end. Good luck to everyone. Cheers :D

Hi Fellow Ankara VO Applicants I don't get much response to the questions that I post in this thread but I will go ahead and ask. :) I am wondering whether it is normal not to have a copy of the document request email in myCIC account messages? They initially sent it to my email address and...

No, I applied with documents already updated not after we have applied. We applied with a passport and ID that has updated last name. She kept her maiden last name and mine was added. I don't think having them updated would make any difference as long as the supporting documents and information...

I am a Canadian citizen and I already have my letter stating I am eligible as a Sponsor. We sent Police Report upfront with the application but I guess they didn't like the wording or something. Based on my research, it seems there are two parts to criminality report, current and archived. They...

I have also noticed the subject line of the email stating: File: ##### Name: xxxxx (FCU) FC4 Is the FC4 actual code for the family class? It seems FC4=Parents/Grandparents. :o Does it make any sense??? Anyone?

Good day Fellow Ankara Applicants My ECAS indicates Ankara started working on PA file on November 9. This morning I received an email requesting for additional information as below: Application Forms: Please complete the following forms as listed below for yourself. Use the most recent...

Thanks Joyce_tosf for your email, I really appreciated it. Like you said in case of technical problems there is not much call centre agents can do and it is frusturating that the only option is to send a technical support email and hope for the best. I have sent many emails and have no idea why...

Hello Fellow September Applicants After 5 weeks or so myCIC is back again. :o :) Status is OPEN, Eligibility is IN PROGRESS, Medicals PASSED, and Background Check is NOT STARTED. Not sure when they did change and hopefully it will get updates going forward. Cheers :D

Hello, I have a quick question regarding linking paper Permanent Residency (PR) application to myCIC account. I was able to link the Sponsorship/PR application shortly after I couriered the application package and was able to see the progress page when I click the update button. I linked the...
