As far as I recall it was about 2 weeks. We got a request for a photo re-do after a week and it took another week after that was sent in.

Haha yes! Mittens too!

To update...... My wife flew in from Colombia yesterday afternoon. Other than the typical harassment at the Bogota airport to board the plane, all went well. Landed at Pearson 30 minutes ahead of schedule, went straight to Immigration where they processed her COPR and got her PR card request...

Just an FYI as of this afternoon, Air Canada has shut down 17 additional routes as of next week after shutting down all Rouge flights last week. At this rate there will barely be any passengers to quarantine for a 3 day $2k stay!! https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/air-canada-jobs-1.5906896...

I'll be sure to pass along what she experiences. I did find out one fact in preparation for the mandatory provincial COVID test in Toronto when she gets off the plane...(this will change when the federal 3 day quarantine plan takes effect) From the site: "At the testing area, you will...

This link and it's contents have been stupidly debated and caused a riff earlier in the tread. Disregard it.

I didn't say it's in force. How can you book a hotel in advance that's not ready or been announced?! When it is in force, this is one of the possibilities of the program to restrict those landing at one of the 4 airports without the ability to follow the rule. I ended that detail with "but...

What the feds have said, is that you must reserve this mandatory hotel stay prior to your travel home and show proof before boarding. I would assume that if you can't book it, you can't fly. Details of this fiasco would help, but alas, as of February 8th, there is still only wild speculation...

No new details but I doubt this will be an exception. No real studies have been done that you're 100% immune if vaccinated so I think you still have to follow the rules when they take hold.

All along they have noted that 'citizens and permanent residents' of Canada will be allowed into the country. PR's have always been included, no reason to deny them now whether deemed essential or not or discretionary. Pay the 'fine', get the test and wait for the result in a medium grade...

Like those that deliver food inside the hotel you're held hostage in. I heard of other situations that they leave everything you need outside your door, including clean towels and sheets. You're on your on after that. Sounds like solitary confinement where you slide your food tray under the...

So it seems that the federal gov't is trying to deter vacations and travel away from Canada by creating an expensive reason to stay home. Now those arriving to Canada from int'l destinations will have to quarantine for up to 3 days at a gov't designated hotel at a cost close to $2000 PPREPAID to...

I didn't have any receipts per se. I had flight itineraries and boarding asses as proof of travel to my wife's country and things like that. Not translated. Items that are proof for things like marriage certificates, official documents that are necessary should translated. I had to have a 25...

"If in doubt, keep in mind that things not done correctly or insufficient documentation can lead to delays and problems later." This is most important. What seems like more expense and hassle will pay off because you will be submitting a full and complete application. That benefits you in the...

Make mention of it where you can but don't include that much proof. I mentioned my wife and I speak everyday and have daily Whatsapp video calls for at least an hour a day. They didn't ask for more.

Mientras procesan las solicitudes en la VO de Bogotá, enviarán la solicitud de un médico cuando sea necesario. Luego tendrá 30 días para asistir a su cita. Los resultados generalmente se informan a la embajada dentro de una semana. English As they process the applications at the Bogota VO, they...

ODSP is for the individual. You can't claim a disability benefit as a pair. If you are sponsoring your husband for spousal application, you need to verify that ODSP does not count as gov't benefits, otherwise you could be refused as a sponsor.

My wife's status had 'we require more information' for almost the whole application period after we replied with what was required. It's a poor system.

Hope it all catches up soon.

Seems like you're doing this whole process in two's! Have you requested notes to find out what's going on?
