    We also received the same letter by e-mail (sent to PA) early this morning! Hurraay! :) It says that we will be contacted by Etobicoke IRCC to set an appointment for the finalization of the PR application. Letter sent by Case Processing Centre Mississauga.

    The number I called was 1-888-242-2100. I chose to be connected to a representative after listening to the automated status update, which is basically the same thing on GCKey.

    Hi Jessica, I am assuming yes, as I am on the same boat with you; status DM for both sides on ECAS and no update on GCKey. I had called IRCC, inquiring what the decision was and they had told me that my sponsorship was approved; they didn't give info on my spouse's application since we hadn't...

    Hi Jessica, it took us around 2 weeks to get AIP and DMs right after the Ghost Update, so fingers crossed for you, you should hopefully be getting good news shortly :)

    Hi Everyone, After seeing DM on both Sponsor and PA side on ECAS yesterday, today I gave a call to the IRCC and asked the agent what the decision was, since I didn't see it written anywhere. The agent checked and told me that I got Sponsorship Approval (SA) but couldn't give me details of the...

    Without citizenship or PR, there is always a risk of the border officer refusing entry, even if having multiple entry TRV and a valid open work permit. So, it is advised that you do not leave before receiving PR if you're an inland applicant. However, I know multiple examples of others who have...

    Unless asked for, you won't be needing a Canadian police certificate. Do not forget to check your GCKey account for any unread messages/letters. In our case, we got a pdf letter on GCKey, explaining that my spouse had to get a RCMP certificate since she had already spent more than 6 months in...

    Hello All, I am wondering if the approval of OWP mean anything for the PR application? Like, does it mean that the PR application was complete and no problems are foreseen? Is it possible to get OWP approved but PR rejected? Just curious if anyone has any idea how the 2 applications are...

    As far as I know: If you apply at least 30 days before your visitor visa's expiry, you are considered to have applied under "legal status" and even if your visitor visa expires during the process, you will still have "implied status" until your open work permit application reaches a decision...

    Hi there, please do not lose hope; each applicant's process is unique. These medicals are valid for a certain amount of time and if the process takes longer, CIC asks for new medicals, so you might have to take a second one along the way. Therefore I've heard/read numerous examples of medical...
