Thanks for the reply Zmaqsood. From what I can understand, our children should be eligible under subsection 5(2) without the need to have lived in Canada for any particular length of time. Under subsection 5(1) where neither parent is a Canadian citizen, there is a requirement for the child to...

So my kids were all born in Australia, as was my wife. I'm not sure if she was a Canadian at birth, or simply registered sometime afterwards. My wife's parents are both Canadian citizens (although they too now live in Australia).

Hi All, My wife is a Canadian Citizen (by descent). We are living in Canada (Ontario) with our 3 children. Myself and the kids are on PR visas. We have currently been here for about 18 months and are loving it. We are wondering if, given the situation described above, our kids are eligible to...

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you Dolly. I'm guessing ours was approved quickly due to the fact it was fairly straight forward. If anything, I'd suggest ordering your case notes to see if there is anything that shows what might be taking time. We managed to get back in touch with the...

Here is another link showing how to achieve this via Gmail. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-send-a-message-in-plain-text-from-gmail-1171963 If you just Google "convert HTML email to plaintext using (whatever mail client you use)", you'll certainly get some ideas on how to remove the html...

I use Gmail, and there is an option in there to remove formatting. Basically, it just sets all the text to look very plain (ie. No bold or underlined text and no embedded images). If you have attachments of your own to send, just try keeping them to a minimum and try to ensure they are all...

We had trouble emailing the Sydney office as every message was rejected. It seems it had something to do with the message content we were replying to. I removed all of the attachments that were included by replying to their original message (icons etc), set the e-mail to plaintext (instead of...

Wow! I just got an email stating that our submitted photos are not suitable. Doesn't say why. As far as I can see, they meet the specifications listed and are within all tolerances with regards to "face size". We even used the phototgrapher that is listed on their website. Have emailed them to...

This seems to be the same for me (Sydney VO). We have received our PPR and are now just waiting on COPR, but it still shows on GCKey that they are checking our eligibility to apply. It is a pleasant surprise to see the message about your PPR when all you are hoping to find is some glimmer of...

Our PPR came as a message in LuCID, closely followed by an e-mail. MyCiC still shows the status of our application as though they are reviewing the application to see if we are eligible. As other people have noted, that will likely change once the CoPR is issued. Keep checking your email, but...

Firstly, congratulations on the PPR. That is great news. I'm pretty sure we need to send passports. I'm certainly planning on it. Will be keen to hear others comments on this though.

Is COPR something different to PPR (in terms of the letter we received requesting passports)?

Meant to mention...VO is Sydney.

Hi Guys, Just wanted to let everyone know that we got PPR today! MyCIC is still showing that they are reviewing our eligibility, but the letter was available in MyCIC. We initially lodged our application on 31 Dec, but forgot one form, so had to submit that separately. App received late...

We just received PPR via MyCic today! So very happy to have some further certainty now. Our application was received on Jan 19th and they started processing on Feb 23rd. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully you all get some good news soon.

I I applied under the old format for Family sponsorship. Under that format you had to get police clearances from any country where you stayed for more than 12 months. I got one from the UK as we lived there for a few years a little less than a decade ago. Took around a month to get it I reckon...

One useful piece of advice once given to me was to gather all of your evidence and supporting documentation and when you are ready to fill out the forms, then go to the website and get the latest copies. Submitting anything other that the latest copies may mean you run the risk of having your...

I really don't know the specifics of how it will work. I've just read on one of the other threads that if your medicals expire, and you still haven't received an outcome to your application, that they provide some additional time for you to land (once you finally are approved). We are in the...

Fingers crossed that we are processed soon. I am of the understanding that if the application isn't processed prior to the expiry of your medical, that there is some arbitrary extension given for you to get to Canada when the application is finally processed.

Ours hasn't changes status, but with the updates to online services they performed last night, there are some additional statuses in there now like "Biometric testing". My account also now lists our kids along with their individual UCI's too.
