Hey Jendrian,

What is "proof of legal status in Canada?"

Thanks.

Photocopy of passport stamps of entries to Canada and current visa, or current work/study permit, or current visitor record.

I sent a photocopy of my current visitor record.

So that is just a request for people they know have been to Canada?? My husband has none of those things, that is why we are applying for PR in the first place.

 

[jendrian]

the request is for people who ARE in Canada

Any ideas on how long it will take mail to come from CIC Mississauga to my house Mexico ?

 

[jendrian]

mine took a total of 2 months and 1 week from the time Mississauga claimed it sent it to Mexico city

 

[Huron]

wow that's a long time to wait for bad news to come....something tells me that this will be a long process for me

 

[jendrian]

we thought it'd be long too and we were scared and desperate the whole time 'til the 4th month. All I can say is be patient, the Mexico city office took slightly <6 months for us

It took us 5 1/2 months from start to finish. What helped was that we applied outland and things that needed to be mailed were mailed within Mexico. We also went to Mexico city to do the federal personally and dropped it off at the Canadian embassy personally.

I'm landing in a few hours btw I'm currently packing and doing some inventory to fill out the B4/B4A

So excited!

thats amazing Jendrian, we leave on Sunday to Canada and the next day we will be sending my husbands passport to Mexico city to get PR then i think we are gonna flagpole in Montana when we get his passport back.
Good luck and enjoy your new life but dont forget your roots

 

[jendrian]

Congrats to you both!
Canda, according to my supercomputer, October 21 through March 8 is 4.5 months. Are you counting something else in your timeline? Also, am I right in thinking it took the embassy about 2 weeks to send you the passport request once your constancia was dropped off?

 

[canda]

Oh right NAFTA you are correct ;D
It actually took 6 days after we dropped off the constancia at the Canadian embassy in Mexico city to receive an email requesting my husbands passport.
