CEC October 2014 Applicants

Hi! Yes, I received the confirmation email from them 1 day after I submitted. The email was this one:

Dear XXXXXX,
The information you provided has been updated in our system.

Please be advised that no further action is required of you at this time. If additional documents are needed, an officer will be in touch with you shortly.

*censored word* I sent documents few minutes after request...and then few days later and never receive any confirmation;/

I think I've seen people emailing them asking to confirm that they have received the documents. Did you try to email or call them after that? CIC agents are not being very helpful but there are some lucky applicants who get to talk to nice agents (eventually)

Just logged into myCIC account and saw that my BOWP was approved (submitted Feb 17). Given how quickly it was done, it makes me think my PR app will be approved soon, and that the WP was approved to avoid refunding my application fee.

i just emailed them for confrimation.
I called them 2days ago and they said that i have just wait...and when I said that in email there is '30days' to send the documents and that I need to know if the received them or not he said that he can't do anything;/

Been thinking exactly the same. I am waiting for a visa to be issued... I think, then they will proceed with the PR once this is completed. Makes sense. I logged into MyCIC and the status said "Updated" - the usual bug that reverts to Submitted when you return to the page. But apparently, somebody might be working on it.

Very frustrating... I never had luck with call centre..

I did this once, too, and got a response later that my documents were received. But this was only one time because I did not receive the automatic response you usually get when you send them an email. I think, as long as you get the automatic response, you're on the safe side. However, better be safe than sorry and ask once more. What I don't like about the automatic response email is that you hardly ever know to which enquiry it applies, because it does not have your original message attached to it. That would be a point for improvement.

Just completed our landing at the CIC Etobicoke office. Had received the COPR on 15 March. Received an email on 18 March for landing appointment at CIC office for 1 April. It took us less than 25 mins and I was asked no documents other than passport and COPR letter. Applied SIN card at the same office.

All the best to all my fellow applicants for their PRs. May you all have a happy ending for this PR journey soon.

I also had another theory about this ... let's say, you do not get the visa / permit before you get the PR, it may also mean for some people that they were on implied or out of status, which may lead to complications at the border when activating your PR. It's a good thing that visas / permits are issued quickly before the finalization of the PR then to not get in this awkward situation.

What are the advantages & disadvantages of landing with local CIC offices, instead of traveling outside and re-entering Canada. I was told that, if you do landing at local CIC offices, you may not be able to bring in your household items duty free OR convert your savings if any in home country to Canadian $ without paying tax or having limits as to how much you bring in Canadian $. EVerything will be taxed, if you intend to do it post landing at local CIC office. Is that TRUE ?

Local office landing is only for applicants already in Canada. Some people do flag polling at the U.S./Canada borders to get the landing done earlier ( as no appointment is required at the border) you can compare these two scenarios only; in-office landing is definitely hassle free. Bringing Duty free and currency from ur home country to Canada is for those who are outside Canada and for them in office landing is not applicable.

They received my application on October 6, 2014 and I have not yet received any update nor the medical request. The second line was added two weeks ago in ECAS and nothing happened.

Deeply in panic.

We received your application for permanent residence on October 6, 2014.
We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on February 10, 2015.
We started processing your application on February 11, 2015.

Is there anyone else in the same situation like me?

i applied on October 6th 2014 as well and got medical on march 9th did medical at 15th march now waiting for next step.
you should check your email and/or check with lawyer you hired.
