CPP-Ottawa

[gooh]

I've noticed as well, it's very disconcerting.

 

[missmegan]

Agreed! It's too quiet for my liking. Was really hoping to see DMs this week. We got IP Aug 19th and was hoping to see a batch of us go to DM. Maybe next week?

I sure hope so! I'm feeling so discouraged right now.

 

[DanOCan]

Wow, all quiet on the Ottawa front lately! Does anyone have any news?? This feels like the longest I've seen with barely any updates... Really hope that means a mass DM is coming soon for all of us....

Yeah, it feels like forever since we've heard any good news from Ottawa -- it's like CIC just completely stopped processing apps out of that VO. I hope when the movement starts again we see a flood of updates.

It seems very different from last year when a group of people were processed crazy fast during the summer, and then there was barely any movement for months. We can only hope that there are tons of updates before the holiday slow-down.

Seems like they really get rolling in the summer months and then cool off until next summer.

Finally received the COPR. We will be landing tomorrow.
The last leg seems to be the most challenging to be patient.
Canadapost had a small hiccup this morning where the COPR was noted as delivered at 8:30am where the actual package was not received until 3:00pm.
The last 6.5 hours was really killing me.

Girlfriend is from China and has been studying in Canada since 18.
Please see below detail timeline for our application, hope other find it useful.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for the support. Without this website, the adventure certainly would not be as smooth.
I sincerely wish everyone here received information regarding their next step soon.

Just received an email from CIC for Permanent Residency Application - Document Request.
The shortened version of their list is:
-Your mailing address
-Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?
-Proof of Residence/Intent to Reside
-RPRF (If you have already paid the RPRF, please disregard)
-Police Certificates
-Medical Examination

It states on the bottom of the email that I have 45 days to respond to the request.

All of this information was submitted as part of my initial package I sent to CIC.

Does this mean that if I have already submitted all of this, then I do not need to resubmit or submit more???

I just got the same email as Tvgt.

I've got one issue though.

My sponsor doesn't have a whole lot right now. Is unemployed, and we sent employment letters and tax documents addressed to us at our home address along with our original application.

"Proof of Residence/Intent to Reside

We wish to ask you at this time to provide additional proof that your sponsor resides in Canada. This includes but is not limited to: pay stubs, T4 slips, utility bills, banking history, employment letters, lease agreements, etc. Driver's licences, Property tax assessments, Social Insurance or Health Insurance cards are not sufficient."

Also our bank doesn't mail out bank statements or credit card statements.

The only thing that we really have from my spouse are bills from MSP BC and that's about it.

Does anyone know what else is acceptable to send that would satisfy them? I mean, I can send our Notices of Assessment again..

YAY! Looks like Ottawa is moving again. I was in last months batch of emails, we got the same one. Hopefully we can all get some good news before the holiday delays.

When I checked ECAS this morning it still said "application received" but I got the same email too! So I'm assuming it will go to "In Process" in the next day or two.

If your bank doesn't send out statements you should still be able to download PDFs of a statement. As long as it has an address on there, you should be fine. Same for utility bills...

Even though we sent a lot of this stuff with our original application, I'm going to resend the proof of residing in Canada.

I'm just happy there are signs of life in Ottawa again. Feels like it's been awhile.

Do you have a cable bill, all i did was send my partner's shaw bill and Ottawa responded and said it was sufficient evidence that she lived in Canada.

Our bank doesn't mail those things either, but I was able to go in and get a statement printed out with our address on it. I would send anything you have with your sponsor's name and address on it.

Crisis averted Just checked my bank account online and now it has both of our names on it. We made it joint before we sent off the PR Application.

Now just to verify, the only thing they DONT want emailed is the PCC right? I've already sent mine in so it shouldn't be a problem. Does anyone know the expected formats otherwise? I assume they are good to open PDFs and PNG files.
