When do you think is a good time to repeat the medical exams? I've done mine in August 2014, my App was received in September 2014.
I'd rather spend the money than wait a few months longer, when/if cic will request them.


Also, if I did my medical for my study permit a couple years back, then new medicals for PR, do you think they will request a new (third of all) medical sometime in Sept/Oct? Has anyone been in a similar situation, where your medical for PR wasn't the first one ever? Did they make you repeat it?

Thanks, have a nice day ;)

Hi all,

When going in for the landing interview, I know its normally a very quick process with 3 questions.

Do you have to bring anything to the interview itself?

I have heard some people are asked to bring in proof of a copy of their address (Is this even a requirement on the email they send you to bring to the interview?), Is this true as I don't think I have much?

The sponsor has to bring ID and proof of address. A driver's licence will be good because it has your address on it. The applicant needs to bring his/her passport, PR card photos, and it's a good idea to bring proof of address as well. This is their last chance to comfirm that you actually live together. All this will be in your landing letter.

Also, one thing that surpised me (I am the sponsor), I was asked for proof of Canadian Citizenship at the landing interview. I responded very politely that I didn't bring it because the letter didn't ask for it. The officer shook her head and continued asking questions. It was actually very intimidating. Each one of us was asked at least 3 times if we had any other husbands/wives. We just looked at each other and laughed and she asked again...

Hi everyone,
i just recieved AIP and DM. "We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada Immigration Centre in Etobicoke will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application."

We applied on Feb.17 2014. CIC asked for MEDs on May 24th, MEDs done June 9th.

Does anyone know how long the office in Etobicoke takes to issue a landing interview date?

Thanks

Etobicoke is actually pretty quick. I received DM on May 9th and on May 13th I received a letter informing that the landing interview will be on the 20th. They also didn't specify a time, but gave a time window between 8:30 and 10:30 I believe. I was there at 8:00 and there were already at least 20 people in line so arrive early! They will also give you a new SIN there.

Coz I already did the affidavit sole costudy made by attorney & notarized by Philippines embassy canada but I think that's not enough documents what u all guys think/ advice?

Application filed june 5th 2014. AOR received august 2014. application in process 25th feb 2015. we moved and we did changed the address on the file online but due to technical issues it didnt work. I just checked my application status and they have our previous address. I'm wondering, as it says that the application is in process, does that means that they mailed us the medical forms to the address on file ? i changed the address again today and also sent them an enquiry using the case specific enquiry tool online, about the situation. I read online that you are suppose to get your medical done in 30 days after they mail you the form.
anyone in the same situation? any advice/suggestions.

during the interview we were asked to show proof of address and we both had our driving licenses. the officer also asked to see our marriage certificate. besides that, my passport, sponsor's ID, PR photos - i think that's all.

and of course print the landing appointment and have it with you.

This latest update puts CIC back on track with mid-December, eliminating the backlog created during 2015.

Now, the 2015 backlog was nothing compared to the 2014 backlog, so hopefully we'll see that get chipped away as well.

Here are the latest graphs:

The steadily increasing backlog being cut by the latest update:

Forecasting April 1, 2014 submission completion. At this point it's a toss-up, but still interesting:

From the above you can see that we're back on par with the backlog of mid-December.

Hi everyone.
First off - congrats on everyone getting good news!

I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight. Very confused and frustrated at the moment.

My application was received on: JAN 23rd 2014

I got an email about a month ago stating that my application was being transferred to CIC Etobicoke for further assessment. They didn't give us SA or anything, but just told us it was being transfered and we might be contacted for an interview.

We aren't worried about an interview because we are completely genuine and have nothing to hide, but what worries us is how long it may take until we hear something. It's really starting to get to us, as many of you probably understand :(

Does anyone have any experience or info on my situation or being transferred to Etobicoke CIC ? And the time it may take until we are contacted?!

Would really appreciate some help.
Good vibes to all of you!

Are you the sponsor? On my common law's ecas it says Sponsorship App In process since May 13th, but on my ecas it only says that my PR app is received.
