Hi Everyone, Received different info between CIC and VFS as to which documents to carry for a TRV biometric appointment. I don't even know what half the things listed are (from VFS list below). Can someone confirm I should be okay following CIC direction? CIC mentions the following in BIL...

I have received my COPR! Cant get over the excitement. (Full timeline below). I had my landing interview yesterday at Etobicoke. Very convenient location from downtown, just take the Milton GO from union and then walk 5 mins. Was given a token number and had to wait for about 45 mins to get...

Thank you! Sounds pretty straightforward. Appreciate your input.

Hi all Last week of Jan applicant from India. I have my landing interview process coming up and was wondering if anyone can provide some insight on what to expect. Can someone let me know how they prepared for the interview? Sounds like it only takes 10 to 15 mins - but what are the kind of...

I have my landing interview coming up day after tomorrow. Jan 30th applicant. Can someone let me know how they prepared for the interview? Sounds like it only takes 10 to 15 mins - but what are the kind of questions asked? Anything that we may not know and need to prepare for? My only...

YAAAAAAY! FINALLY ONE STEP CLOSER!!! Received landing interview date 2 days after seeing DM on ECAS! So happy that the wait is nearly over! CIC has been doing a fantastic job with improving processing times. Good luck to everyone!

Congratulations! Looks like you're leading the Feb pack. I'm Jan 31st applicant, and I think we're around the same step so maybe the information below will be useful to you. 7/14 noticed DM on both sides of ECAS 7/16 received letter from CIC about scheduling of interview date at Etobicoke...

You can go to any fingerprinting station nearby. I'm in Toronto downtown and I used Red Seal Notary. They are more expensive than others but their work is efficient and thorough. Highly recommend them.

quick question for those that have ahead of me in the process: Is it normal to see DM on both sides without getting an AIP letter or any other communication since RCMP fingerprinting request. It looks like the flow for a lot of people is SA/AIP/DM I did not receive an AIP email (nor did the...

Thanks! My fingerprints still show as not received. The status in the portal says: "we sent a request... etc please complete it asap etc"

Hi all, Some good news finally. Just checked on ECAS and saw Decison Made on both sides. I believe that means either I got the PR, will be contacted for an interview, or that PR was declined. Looks like for some others it took about 3 days to get an update after DM. Still very excited to see...

Hey Everyone, Its wonderful that mid/late Jan applicants are getting approval/interview notices. I have a quick question as to how these notifications are being sent out. I applied with a representative, so I don't have access to the GC Key, only ECAS. On ECAS I have not seen any change in...

I think we need to file a complaint. :D

Hey all, I took a look at the google docs and it seems like people are getting a Approval In Principle around 150 to 155 days! This is very exciting - starting the journey I was expecting it to take about a year. Jan 30th applicant, need to wait next 2 to 3 weeks. I did receive a notice for...

REJECTED! Just kidding. Its a good thing you caught it now. It is possible that this will go unnoticed by CIC, but I highly recommend taking the proactive corrective measures below: 1 - Get a new PPC with the right address 2 - Get all the proof you can to support the address claim (utility...

Thanks for the response. At the time that the application was received (Jan 30th), it was around 4 months. As of May, well over 6 months. My understanding was that police clearance is required based on date of application, not anticipated stay.

Hello Everyone, This forum has been a guiding light in my application process, and the North Star to my sanity. So thanks to everyone that regularly contribute. I recently received a fingerprint request with RCMP background check. It seems like this is not the normal process for most people...

I'm around the same timeline: App received 31st OWP received in mail April 7th Med done April 9th Fingerprints request May 27th, done on the same day. Do you know why fingerprints are requested? I was a bit surprised because it says that police clearance is only required from countries where...

Hi all, update to timeline: App sent: 28th jan Received: 30th Jan AOR: 19th March OWP received (physical): April 3rd Med Request: 8th April Med appointment: 10th April

Bump - anyone have insights?
