whats annex a?

Sorry. I mean Schedule A. Since they ask for the last ten years, that means from 2002, they ask about what my wife was doing in 2001, maybe must be full years.

blessedelaine...we went for interview at 9:00am in the morning and passport back with visa at 2:00pm in the afternoon.....we were so surprised but very happy!!! now just trying to get the cuban government to do their paperwork

Confused, what else has to be done after receiving the passport with visa?

Quick question:

What is the next step after we go "in process"? Or a link to the entire list of steps?

After that normally it goes to "Decision made" but it can stay in process for quite a while - hope not in your case of course!
when you log into Ecas there is a list of the different steps that you can read about.
Good luck,

The website gives a very general idea of what is to come. Is there a more specific link or personal experience?

not really - because it really depends on each case and each VO. Some people are in process for a while, some go from "application received" to "decision made", others get their visa before ecas even said anything... so it seems to be quite random, depending on the officer as well...
On the spreadsheet sometimes you can see when it went "in process" if it was the case, so depending on your VO it might give you a better idea...

So no steps, just per what VO that day reviews your file if they decide to review your file that day.

No wonder there is so much confusion/anger around!

Well then. Today I received the "Copies of Passports Requested" email!

Sent them off within 3 hours of reading it. LOL

Quiet week for Aprilcants? I found our thread half-way down page 2!

My husband received an email request for RPRF. This is the first we've heard from CIC since approved in July... it's a relief to know someone has it in their hands! Now we just have to scrape up the money

Got my PPR today. One annoying thing though: they rejected my FBI clearance forms (they came from a channeller, and deemed not officialy by CIC), so I have to get new ones from the FBI, and then submit those and a copy of my PP.

It takes 4-6 weeks to get the FBI certificates, and then I can submit everything to Ottawa and be done with this

Hello!

seems like a few things are happening for April applicants finally - it's been a quiet week. Congratulations on pp request and different communications from VO - good to know something is happening! London VO has been really quiet, hopefully next week is a better one!
