Re: LANDED !! and my story


Hello May ask if you made follow at CIC egarding your application? where would we follow ? thank you.

All thanks goes to Almighty God, my wife landed today in Calgary. Thanks everyone.

Here is my story

10/07/2013 : Application sent first time
31/07/2013 : Application Returned due to missing signature
1/08/2013 : Application sent second time
24/08/2013 : AOR from Mississauga
30/08/2013 : SA from Mississauga, file transfer to Tel Aviv Office
10/09/2013 : File was received in Tel Aviv
21/09/2013 : ECAS changed to medicals received
8/10/2013 : AOR from Visa Office
5/12/2013 : ECAS changed to start processing
9/12/2013 : We received an e-mail to submit more documents1
13/3/2014 : After sending so many e-mails and get frustrated with the wait, we decided to apply for TRV, my wife went to the visa office to submit the TRV application, but the visa office said your immigration visa is ready!
17/3/2014 : Decision made
19/3/2014 : Visa received
25/3/2014 : LANDED

My advice, be patient, use to the time to build a solid relationship, give a lot of your time to your spouse and take care of each others. Finally, Communicate with the Visa office as much as you can, don't just WAIT!

Good luck to everyone.

Just to clarify, your application will be revisited on or before the 60 days.
The 60 days is the limit CIC can take for revisiting app.
I never worded first response very well.

Today is the 60th day so we will see what happens. Just trying to stay optimistic. After thinking about the wording on the letter, I would think the CIC will revisit the app after the 60 days since it's the timeframe given. But who knows if they are backed up.. (shrug) nothing to do but wait and see. :

I'm feeling pretty discouraged today, maybe it's the dreary weather....but I have this bad feeling that my request for additional information / intent to provide stability will get me denied. What on earth made the officer think my military husband and I would go on welfare is beyond me. How many people decide over our applications?? If the officer is having a bad day or in a bad mood will that be my reason for denial?? I know border guards can say no without real reason - are our applications and really our entire future in one persons hands and based solely on their impression of us?

I have read the operational manual for visa officers about how to process immigration applications and how to make decision or judgements on certain aspects. (not all, but some). i.e. that's the rules they need to follow. If they reject your case, they need to make reference from those ruses as the reason(s) of rejection. They can't just say you're denied because I dislike you.

I need to find that manual somewhere. I read it a couple weeks ago online.

I understand that they need to follow guidelines but they seem to think that my husband can not provide for me and that I am unwilling to work. I've sent every possible document proving otherwise, but if the officer still thinks I am a foney, it's all in their hands and what they interpret as truth, right?

I'm not an expert on these things. I hope the people who have similar experience on this forum can help you.

But here's the link I just found about the immigration application processing operational manuals. www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/

If you scroll down on the webpage, expand the "Overseas processing (OP)", you can see the manuals in pdf format. Maybe that will give you some idea about your case.

So I sent CIC an email yesterday asking if there is any status update and a friendly, from the heart letter explaining we have been waiting patiently, we are two big burly dorky guys who are in love and responded to their request for further documentation over 60 days ago. This morning I looked at ECAS as I have for the past 8 1/2 months and it says DECISION MADE!! WOOT!!!!

I guess everyone kind of does this, but it said they started processing my file on 4/29 and decision made now. Hoping thats a normal processing time since they had already asked for some other documents. There was no PPR and just straight to Decision Made. I had sent in copies of every page of my passport that had info on it with the application.

OMG totally awesome.. lol beside myself right now and can't believe it finally happened. Just hoping it's a good news decision. lol

That's very exciting! I am a nervous wreck even more now than I was before. The wait plays with so many of your emotions! I got am email saying they received my addition documents and that my case will be under FINAL review soon! On one hand I feel like I may pee my pants out of excitement and on the other, I am about to be sick with nervousness that we will be denied. Need some of your good vibes FloridaBear!!
