COPR received :O <3

The only thing that worries me, is that our kids aren't listed on it under the part that says Dependants. Is it because they have dual citizenship? :O I would assume so but is there someone who knows for sure?

Good news my wife lands tomorrow at Vancouver Airport.

I wonder how long it will take her to go through the landing process?

Her flight gets in at 7pm I will be waiting at arrivals for her but she will come up on skype with me so I can help translate anything that comes up.

Last post I saw concerning landing timelines was Vancouver, and was reported to be a simple matter of minutes ie less then 10. Once you see her, I think she will be "through" already.

I wasn't very constant on this thread but i am a may applicant. My process was what some people called non-routine since I was a failed refugee claimant. I had to do an ARC in January and this Monday I received an email asking for my passport and stating my visa was issued until September. It was all a total of 10 months and no interview was required. Now I'm just waiting for my passport back and not sure how long they will take. From that point on I have to hope for a successful and happy landing. I am going through the bogota visa office.

Thanks for the info. I have also written a letter giving a lot of the details as my wife does not speak english so i want to insure it all goes smoothly.

Good to know I won't have to wait too long.

wow everyone is starting to get responses...

I have a question...i'm sponsoring my wife who's in china right now through HK office. So that makes our application an outside one. We had an interview in Jan 2013, and right after the interview, her passport was taken from her and a request for re-medical were issued. So we gave the passport, did medical and "return address" form for the passport in couple of days. After a while, ecase shows "medical recevied", and It's now been almost 3 months and we haven't heard back from them.

Are we in trouble? or is that the normal wait times?

I'm still desperately waiting in Canada atm....Why do they make it so hard?

They make it hard because they are poorly set up to handle the workload and fail to provide adequate information so you will know what to expect.

Landed today April 5, 2013. I did a long description of my experience on the CPP Ottawa thread. Pretty painless, but not as quick as some describe. good luck to all, it has been an adventure.
