2015 JANUARY - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICATION

[charliej]

Anyone know if you send the sponsor's canadian proof of residency by scanning the documents and emailing them, or if you have to mail them?

I scanned and emailed proof in today. :} Very excited!
Hope everyone hears good news soon!

Yea same thing but the notes say medical passed so I'll disregard I think we will get DM within the next week 8)

Seems like it's a common problem that's affecting loads of applications who applied at the start of this year where the upfront medical wasn't initially associated with the application.

CIC seem to be aware of it though and it showing up as medical passed on peoples notes is a pretty reassuring sign!

Should i do Re- Medical without Request ? i think if they request it might slow my application ?

Hi guys!
I have received PPR today The only 2 options for sending the Passport are: through vfs in Romania or directly to the embassy in Romania, it doesn't say anything about sending the passport here in Canada.
I am in Canada now and can anyone give me some advice on how can I send my passport here in Canada?
Thanks!

This morning I received an e-mail from CIC with a request for police certificates. I obtained my background check from the US through a channeling company that sent the results directly to CIC, and my German background check was translated and notarized and all of it was also sent to CIC. Should I be alarmed that I received this e-mail? Just because they send a request for documents doesn't mean I messed up, does it?

Here's the e-mail:

I got the exact same email and I sent my police certificate to them on April 1st. I have two separate sets of GCMS notes that state the document was received. I'm thinking they are sending this to everyone now. I'm just wondering if I should reply and let them know I sent it already or just ignore it. ??

Okay that makes me feel better. Thanks! I got all worked up because I sent my US one through a company that expedites the process, and even though I have delivery date confirmations, I got all paranoid that they stopped accepting background checks through channeling companies, yadda yadda yadda.

I'm not going to reply to the CIC e-mail because 1) they'll figure it out quicker than the time it takes to read my paranoid e-mail and 2) I'm sure CIC gets hundreds of e-mails a day and we poor immigrants-to-be are tired of waiting!

I'm assuming they are starting the criminality checks which is a good thing based on this particular email. Which means DM should happen very soon.

Anyone here who went to "In process" under Permanent Residence Application in ECAS who haven't received PPR yet or DM update? I am just a bit worried since if i compare my timeline to others.. most of them received PPR 5 to 10 days after their status in ECAS changed. While for me it's almost 35 days and we haven't got any update yet nor emails. Well, i can wait a bit more and be more patient rather than be on the interview queue. :-\ Good Lord, help us! ???

I've been "in process" for 19 days, but according to the date in ecas, they've been processing my application since April 8! The Singapore and Ottawa visa offices operate with much different systems though, it seems. I have no idea what's going on in either of them. Hope we all hear something soon. It's about time.

I did. That's why I was freaking out why I hadn't received a PPR but I was already IP while everyone else had to submit their passport before getting IP. My eCas has been IP for 2 weeks now (eversince my husband got SA). Relentlessly checking his email and mine. Still no luck. Our SA column doesn't even have line 4 or DM though we already received the email correspondence. eCas and email have no cohesiveness when relying up-to-date information.
