[peggyfran]

I would say yes, you do. It should be a simple thing to fill it out. Make sure to prepare the form in duplicate to make it easier for the officers.

LOL
We always would just write "clothes, toiletries.." and also list our valuables, electronics and jewelry one by one.. on the landing forms to the US and other countries that we would have to fill out periodically in my previous line of work. I don't think you need to specify how many pairs of socks you own, do you?

 

[truesmile]

If he did, that would be "shocking" . . . HAHAHA

Sorry amfiprion, I couldn't resist. More importantly . . . "Welcome to Canada" (on Friday that is).

NEW DELHI EMBASSY
WHY MAY 2012 applicants (spouse case) din't get visa till now? Many of june july and august 2012 applicants (spouse cases) got visa if you checked new delhi 2012 forum...
How much more time to be expected?
N how to update spreadsheet for May?

 

[btanguay]

I don't understand why is very long when is suppose to be short.

Actualy Manila change our status of e-case. They said in Progress. How long time is suppose to be in progress?In progress mean someone in canadian ambassy are processing our file? Or is the Visa center?



May 16, they receive our application in Mississauga.
August 28, they receive our application in Manila
December 1, they ask passport, Residence fee (490$). some info about my wife and the family. They receive everything december 18.
January 28, they ask CSQ, They receive CSQ the day afer.
January 31 they start to progress our application
...

I know when i apply in may, the first step is 86 day. The second step is 9 month. When begin the second step? When they receive application in manila or when they start the processing in ambassy?

We know they start january 31, but how long time we must wait the passport back? 1 month? 2? 12?

This situation make us stress and crazy. And my wife are preggy. We must tell to ambassy about that?

 

[truesmile]

Oh you have 'PPR' already and sent in! I give it one month tops. You can tell them your 'good news' if you wish, BUT if I think you'll be all set and done by end of March. We didn't tell them.

***We received your application for permanent residence on May 16, 2012.

We started processing your application on January 31, 2013.

Medical results have been received.***
****************************

Question: How long will it take to change my status from IN PROCESS to DECISION MADE?
: How long do i need to wait to get my passport back with a visa stamp?

oooooh congrats truesmile!
@NestleAducal - we're still waiting for a PPR. I'm wondering if they will request other documents from him regarding proof of his separation with his wife. We're hoping for some kind of word from CEM within the next month. He will definitely need to re-medical, they expired over a year and a half ago. If we are really lucky he can be here some time this summer.

Ummm.. so about 3 wks ago i noticed that ECAS had changed our status to decision made. I had quit checking daily as it was unchanged for about 7-8 months! They had requested passports early January. We are STILL waiting for the COPR! Does it usually take this long to get something in the mail?
??? ???

Don't know what's happening with his papers at all. Just frustrating.
Well good luck to you..

Hi guys, im new to this thread but I'm also a may applicant!


My case is not a routine case since I am a failed refugee claimant and was deported to my home country Colombia. Currently the last thing immigration asked for was my ARC which they received a month ago. Has anyone gone through the process of the ARC? How long should it take them to process it? I see a lot of ppl from may already landing or having their passport requested and I know the delay in my case is the ARC.
