February 2013 OUTLAND (only) applications!! Here is your thread!!

[messenger]

God I hope so. This whole process makes me so paranoid about every little thing. It is weird don't you think that everyone got their PPR in feb 2013 except us.

Anyone else have any insight?

Hi skas13

Try not to worry very much. it will come to you soon!

Hi skas13

Someone from the Delhi thread just said that if my husband has no travel outside of India then they don't request the passport right away. Interesting if that is true. My husband has never been outside of India. But I'm just not sure how accurate this actually is.

Folks,

For PPR to NDVO , do we have to send them a return envelope or something to VO to send us our passports once approved?
People who already submitted their passports , get back to me please.

Happy Weekend

Hi mickeyindia,

I jus sent them the old and new passports along with a copy of the email they sent you in one package.
I don't think u are allowed to add any extra documents unless requested by them.

Since you will be sending your passport, it might be a good idea to send more pictures and proofs. Make sure that you explain in your letter why you are sending more pictures, and how they illustrate your relationship, and ask them kindly to add it to your file. they might not need them, but it won't hurt your file, so you might as well add them!
Good luck,
Sweden

Hi Sweden, please help me with my question, Do I need to have my school credentials red ribbon because a friend said if I have to work in Canada my docs should have red ribbon. Others said I don't have to. Messenger advised me to contact you because he doesn't have an idea about this... Please help me...We are planning to submit our application last week of April or early May...
Thank you so much...

Ecas says decision made... strangely this worries me coz it's soo fast ???

also in dina's case they had changed her address to the canadian one when they made their decision, but for us it still shows the paris address.

Does anyone know if this is a bad sign, do they always change the address in ecas if the decision is positive??
I'm freaking out a bit

On the CIC website they give what each phase means and on this document it says "decision made" means that the PR was been issued. I think this is a good sign! Congrats!
Paris VO seems to be moving at lightning speed!

Just another weekend in hopes of second stage AOR or even a PPR... patience patience patience. It looks like it takes Mexico about 4-6 months after SA... but you never know GO LEAFS GO

Good luck to everyone!

I think I adviced you on this on the Manila thread.
Anyway, for the Sponsorship application, you don't need to include school credentials.
The red ribbon by DFA is only for Federal Skilled Worker applicants because the embassy wanted to make sure that the credential that they submit to work in Canada are legitimate.

However, it would be beneficial if you could bring your official transcripts and certification when you land in Canada so you can bring them when you want to get assessment on how you can upgrade your profession in Canada.
I believe you said you we're a teacher in the Philippines? I'm sorry to say but it is not easy to get a teaching job in Canada without going back to school here or at least upgrading by getting some education credits and having a Canadian experience.

Again, you don't have to include your credentials in you spousal application but would be helpful if you bring them when you land as a PR in Canada.

All the best!

Thank you so much Iay for all the information from all of you here... I got the ideas now. You are really a great help to us new members...God bless...

I'm positive that's a good sign.
Also, they won't deny a PR just like that without even asking for additional proof or interview. So I believe just like dina, you're COPR will come soon

Congrats in advance!!

Same situation here my file got transferred on February 20th to NDVO... all other forum with same time line already have PPR. Waiting Waiting hope next week there is surprise for us..

We got our SA on March 18th, and still waiting to hear from New Delhi. It seems that people are getting the PPR from them quickly, am feeling a little worried about it now.

Hi everyone...

1. As you know, as per:



to certify a document, an authorised person must print the following:

"“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document.............." etc etc.........

Did your notary print that sentence at the front of your documents, or at the back? It's just that, the front part of a document usually doesn't have that much white space left, so I thought it would be nice to do it at the back, where usually there's 100% white space...very convenient for the notary public to type.

When we did ours in January, our notary gave 2 versions.....front and back...the front version was difficult for her to do, for obvious reasons...

So, just curious how yours are



2. Also, I need your second opinions....if you read our regional guide:



Point 7 says "Provide birth certificates, baptismal certificates or other official document confirming relationship (including all pages of Household Registries, if applicable) for you and each of your family members. If you are married, you must include a marriage certificate"

Since we are doing a spousal sponsorship, I don't see how my wife's birth certificate and baptismal certificates are relevant? They only confirm her relationship to her PARENTS, not to ME

So, from the sound of it, it looks like our marriage certificate alone should suffice...?!

Note: I am sponsoring only my wife, and we have no children.

(arghh it's crazy! even though we already did all these, I seem to second guess everything, after suffering from my lost-documents ordeal! )

Hi! I looked but didn't seem to find a reply to this.
Were you able to find out if the birth certificate is necessary?
I agree with you in regards of it not showing a relationship to the sponsor but with immigration you never know!

 

[ldumitriu]

Thanks skas and Iay!!!

you guys are probably right, I guess I was just thinking it's too good to be true coz just last week I was trying to mentally prepare myself for a long wait... and now this.

Hopefully they'll send something this week

Laura & Jeremy hi

Listen to worry is pretty much useless right now. Think positive. So far by special demand all February applicants we are going to get COPR. No negotiations here. I lay'd down the law.....
Tomorrow you guys gonna get the good news!
