I took SIN the next day, that was super quick and now I am on my way to register for health card. I been staying in Canada for a long time as visitor, so I already have most of my affairs in order.

I know that if people don't have any updates for a while they start to worry (I been there myself), but the harsh truth is that ECAS are not reliable. I am still "in process", probably, it will stay like that forever
I landed in Montreal airport. The process itself ia quite easy if you have all required papers, but we waited in line for a long time. The process itself took around 2,5 h for me. 2 h was just waiting, but after long flight it seemed like 8 h
Also, when landing it is important to have a list of goods that will (if) follow you to Canada and it really needs to be detailed: color, size, value, etc. I didn't have this, as I won't bring anything after, but most people where asked to specify their lists.
Yikes! That's would feel like a long time after a long time. But glad to knew it was a smooth sailing otherwise.
I don't really plan on bringing anything with me as such. The only valuable I wanted to ship was my collection of Diecast Model Cars. I am an avid collector and I have more than 150 of them in my collection. I had thought of having them shipped but with the taxes, customs and over all shipping charges, I have decided to sell off most of the them, sadly, and start fresh there. Besides, my Mrs has a rental for a while as we both plan of searching for a little house of our own once I'm there. So no point in me bringing anything.
Thanks for letting us know how it works on the other side. We all, at some point would need to know these details as well. So it is much helpful to gather all this information from the likes of you. Cheers!
I got the decision on spot, but it might be different with your VO. For me interterview was short and easy, but the waiting time once again was along. What they did in Warsaw VO is that they invited 3 people at the same time, so of course I was the last one. If you are in real relationship, your police checks are ok and your answers match application then it should be ok. I heard horror stories here that they are sometimes mean with people, but for me at least it was pleasant.Ivandrea7 said:Just got an email from Vienna, Interview May 4th. That is the only update I have received since being in ' PROCESS'. none the least its moving!! The email asked for ongoing communication and passport! Does anyone know the routine, would they give you a decision on the spot or will we have to wait some more?
Thanks Owl! We have all the confidence this will go smoothly! Just a little overwhelmed it being in less then 4 weeks away! Time to prepare all documents and hope smooth processing after this. Hopefully we can have the landing before the end of MayOwl29 said:
Hmm, obviously Vienna likes to call applicants for interviews. :-\Ivandrea7 said:Just got an email from Vienna, Interview May 4th.

I noticed the trend on the Vienna thread too, they seem to call in everyone for an interview! So lets keep the trend moving and get the visa approval !Shantaveli said:
Congrats, that's great news, should mean you're almost done! Just relax, as long as you're in a legitimate relationship an interview is nothing to worry about!Godgift said:
Sometimes it'll be a few more days. Reason? It's 30 days after they process the request. Sometimes it is not immediately after they receive it.susanrichards2015 said:
