Thank you so much. :)

What do you mean by submit additional documents exactly? On Dec. 22, 2016 they asked for an updated Schedule A Background Declaration to be submitted. They wanted more information about some of my husband's previous jobs. They gave us 60 days to send that to them. Other than that, I do not think we submitted any other documents other than the application package itself.

Wooohooo my COPR came in this morning!!! Now to book my flight home:)

If anyone is wondering if you applied from the states, by sending your PPR via Fedex with a prepaid envelope and bill they will send it back to you within a week of them receiving it. The tracker didn't initiate over the weekend but when I checked it this morning it was heading to my house. Good luck to all.

Hey everyone! Congratulations to all the recent DMs, PPRs, and COPRs! Its great to see all that progress!

We're planning to order our notes in the next couple weeks and I've read on several threads on this forum that you can't order your notes if you're outside Canada, which is our case. But when I go to the website and see this message: "To be eligible to make a request, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or an individual or corporation currently present in Canada." I interpret that as Canadian citizen OR a person currently in Canada, not Canadian citizen who is currently in Canada. In addition, there is the option to choose "province/state" and all the countries in the drop down menu when filling in your address.

Basically what I want to know is, has anyone here successfully ordered their notes from outside Canada through http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp, not through a third party? Or should I get in touch with my family in Canada to order them on our behalf?

Thanks!

Summer 2017 let's leave it to this :)
Dear all,

I have a quick question to you...well maybe not so quick but please bare with me...
We applied on the 23.11.2016, we received SA on 12.12.2016, medicals done upfront on 11.11.2016
I was able to link my app on the 28'th of January on the CIC website and since than I have the following with no changes:

Application status We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.
Review of additional documents Not applicable.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check Your application is in progress. The next step is to conduct a background check.


And the problem is I am really kind of... let's say worried that my medical at least didn't change to something... From what I noticed on the forum, most of you
at least have the medical passed :(

So my question is, is that normal ? ;(

Our story:
My husband Canadian sponsoring me, both at the moment are outside Canada. First marriage for both of us, no dependents, no criminal activity ( both of us), i have never lived outside my country... well only traveling but never more than 2 weeks. The only thing we have 6 years age difference , I am 24 he is 30...( but why should this be a problem for them ? ;)

Our visa office is Bucharest... and by they way is someone on this thread going through the same VO as we are?

And we are thinking about asking for the notes in April...but still it's very stressful and somehow worrying this lack of movement in our case or some kind of communication...

Thank you very much in advance for your help! And good luck to everybody!!

Hi, I was processed through Ottawa however just wanted to let you know my Medical didn't change to passed until a week before we got our PPR. We also did everything upfront. I'm sure someone from your VO may be able to share their experience
Good luck.

Hello every body.
I have a question. My wife's sponsorship application is currently at LVO. Now we've a dependant so where do we have to send the baby's add on request docs? CPC-MISSISSAUGA or LVO ?
All correspondence needs to go to the visa office after SA. So in your case, LVO.

Are both the sponsor and PA outside of Canada? If yes, you would have to get in touch with someone in Canada who can order the notes for you. You'd have to sign a consent form and assign them as your representative (only for the notes), the rep would then pay a $5 fee.
Yes, we're both outside Canada. I requested the notes using our foreign address and the form didn't notify us of any errors. It allowed me to submit everything without a Canadian address/representative inside Canada. I received an email with the tracking number. I'll let you know in a little over a months time if the request was processed and we have our notes!
