Hello

Im wondering if anyone has had a similar communication from CIC. Im a June 9 2014 applicant and my wife is my sponsor. I got this email today requesting I complete a New Police check request and send it back to them. My wife revived another email herself, also today, which pretty much states shes been approved as a sponsor, but I have a couple of concerns:

1. I already completed this document when I sent my application last year so Im wondering why they need to complete it again?

2. Will this hold up my application? Because as far as Im concerned, the form was completed so they have everything they need to approve my PR. Do you think this will cause long delays in my application and will I go to the end of the queue again?

You won't go to the end of the queue, but most likely it will take some time (months) for CIC to take a look at your application after they received your new police check. There is no use of thinking why they requested it and if it is a legitimate request, you should provide it to avoid the trouble.
They can request a new police check because they think that the previous one was outdated, or they can ask it by mistake, but still, you should provide a new one. And if it takes longer than the time they gave you, send an explanation and give an estimated time when you can provide it.

thanks Sophieee. i suppose I'll just have to wait then. ive emailed the documents to them already. i thought it was because the document i signed last year allowing them to get the police check may now be outdated. but then that just makes it even more ridiculous that im now being penalised and forced to wait even longer, even though everything i did was correct

it actually means anyone needing a police check from NZ has to wait even longer because the document will always be outdated once the application starts being processed.

just to point something out actually. you're not supposed to get a NZ police check directly from NZ police yourself. you need to sign a consent form allowing CIC to request it. its different for other countries. i had to attach police checks for both the UK and Australia but they seem to have been accepted

Hi,

last thursday I finally had my landing interview and am since then a Permanent Resident. Man, that waiting at the end was particularly annoying since my current work visa would have been expired by the end of November. Anyways, now I don't have to worry anymore about that paper work. I will add my timeline for the excel sheet, if seniors (Sophieeee) could add that please. I think that is how it goes, right? For every one else who is still waiting for their DM, its coming. If you're waiting for your landing interview, call the call centre, every week. Ask for everything, somebody will give you at some point useful information. In my case I got a fax number that saved my ass. The CIC office apparently never got a notice that I'm waiting for a landing interview and didn't even get the notification email that the CIC call agents sent out. Without that fax number, I still would be waiting. Anyways, if more information are required, let me know, here is my timeline.

application sent out: May 7th, 2014
notice from CIC that they received my application on May 13th, 2014: August 7th, 2014
my sponsor got email that she met requirements for eligibility as sponsor: September 28th, 2015
my DM: September 29th, 2015
landing interview: November 19th, 2015 (should be around 1-3 weeks, if not, call the call centre!)
PR card: TBD
CIC office: Yellowknife, NT

Thanks for all the help guys! awesome forum, very helpful and will keep on using it.

It could be that CIC are focusing on processing 25000 refugees by end of the year. Yes, it seems that liberals have placed the spouses / CL PR processing on the backburner until the 25000 refugees are processed first.
Just another reason to despise Daesh/ISIS/ISIL/Whatever-they're-called-today/A-holes. I remind you all that these refugees have it infinitely worse than most of us and if it takes CIC another 2 years to give me a PR card, then I need to try and focus my anger and disappointment on those miserable Daesh jerks. They're nothing more than murderers and rapists.

I for one welcome the Syrian refugees. I hope you find peace here in Canada and if you're settling in the Hamilton area, message me if you want to have coffee together. I will help you anyway that I can. I also continue to hope that one day Canada will welcome me too, whenever they manage to get to it. I can get by on the work permit and private health insurance for now (any suggestions for health coverage?).

Hey, if you have a work permit, you should be able to get health coverage in Ontario. I just moved here, and that was possibly the smoothest process I've experienced with Canadian system thus far. I brought with me my AIP email print out and my work permit to Service Ontario, and even though my work permit was expiring in a month or so, I still got my health card that's good until June 2016.

oh yippee i'm not the last one standing. January 2014 here, only requested medical like last month......... AIP June, and I did send in my medical with my original application. That's extra 300 bucks + extra blood work...

Most recent thing on my "check application status" is June though, they didn't say anything about asking me to redo my medical.

Does anyone know what kind of timeline I can expect out of getting an OHIP card?

For example, assuming that I've finally tricked the clerks at OHIP in to giving us coverage, and they put a certain date that coverage will begin on, does that mean we'll actually have a card by that date?

If my date for coverage was November 10, does that mean I should have gotten a card by November 10, or does that mean they load up the delivery toad on November 10th and after 14 to 18 weeks I'll actually get the card.
Just catching up on all that I've missed here, not sure if someone responded yet, I also realize how incredible lucky I was when I got my OHIP :eek:

My OHIP card says issued Sept 29 which is the day that I was in Service Ontario. Got the card not long after, maybe couple of weeks, definitely within a month.

I guess the "guide" to getting OHIP is actually ambiguous because I know when I went in, the guy had to double check with his superior but when they saw all my docs, they passed me through. GOOD LUCK!

I tried twice and both times they said I needed a letter from an employer. Unfortunately I am still unemployed so no letter. Very frustrating.

The difference is 28january has an AIP email which qualifies the person for PR which is also the minimum requirement for OHIP. In your case, you got a pilot OWP before you got AIP stage. Pilot OWP does not mean you qualify for PR status like AIP, regular OWP and DM letter does. Big difference. Letter from employer doesn't mean you qualified for PR status.
