If it's the same date as the original entry then just put the same date. The form wont let you validate if you have missing info.
I am a bit confused about this question. Should i include any previous visit as her first entry ? She did visit couple of days. About a month later, we both entered canada after honeymoon and she has been staying with me since then.

Also, i wonder if I have to include info about health insurance ?

Thanks

Whatever the firs time she entered Canada was, put that in the first entry, then put the most recent entry in the most recent one. The only reason they're asking is because any previous time spent in Canada counts towards the amount of time you have to wait to become a citizen. Someone from CIC explained this to me when I landed recently.

Health insurance info isn't needed but if she has it then it can't hurt to include it. I wouldn't bother going to get it if you don't already plan to. I haven't had health insurance the entire time I've been here until now that I've landed.

Spouse/partner applicants are eligible for BC MSP as long as they are living with their spouse and have a PR application in process.

http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/msp/infoben/pdf/covering-a-spouse-or-child-who-is-an-applicant-for-permanent-resident-status-in-canada.pdf

So technically you could have been covered in BC, Shylox. Fortunately, the matter is now moot.

ECAS changed my status to decision made today. :D

Hope this gives everyone more hope as I only got my PPR 6 days ago. Waiting for the mail this week will be an anxious one.

PPR! Plus ... one of those annoying requests for proof that I (the sponsor) intend to live in Canada, since we live in the US, and a request for passport photos.

Hi everyone, my status changed February 28th in E-CAS to Decision made. We were not asked for passport or nothing.... Does that mean the COPR could be in the mail? Hopefully it is not bad news...... If COPR is in the mail, how long does it take to receive it? We put in my husband's mailing address as our address in Canada. Is it sent by regular mail? I'm so excited... Tell me this is good news... :-\

Remember how Shylox got hers without PPR :)
Be positive, the only one who should worry is me as my application will probably require extensive checks since I'm a naturalized US citizen. :-X

You almost gave me a panic attack, but it's all good. I'll be traveling in 15 days and if I don't hear anything until then, I'll be paranoid as I won't be able to check my mail for another 20 days after that :'( :'( :'( :'(

Dont worry Line that is exactly what happened to me. My COPR came a week after ecas says my app was in process. You might have just gotten as lucky as I did. =)

And computergeek I had no idea I could have had insurance this whole time :eek: My wifes insurance goes through her employer so I'm not sure they would still allow it.

I'm starting to get antsy! It's only been two weeks since I paid my RPRF, and I know I probably have a couple more months (at least!) to go. This waiting is brutal! We want to get on with the moving plans already! LOL

I did the same and it came to Canada so don't worry. I know it really really sucks seeing that decision made and not knowing what the decision is but trust me, as long as you had nothing to hide and are a legit couple, you will be fine. I'm glad that I didn't see that my ecas had updated until a day before I got the COPR, it saved me from a week of terror haha

Get ready to celebrate! =D

I've had a bit of time to read the PPR letter, and they've also asked for photos, although we sent photos the first time around. Does this mean they lost our photos (irritating, because they start to get expensive when you have to get 3 sets of them), or they aren't paying attention to what's in our file, or that they rejected the photos? Not sure the answer matters - they want photos, we'll give them photos, lovingly measured to millimetric perfection.

And they want our CSQs - I suppose they couldn't be bothered to match the copies they should have gotten in November from Quebec with our application, but I guess I don't mind making a few more copies of the CSQs.
