This is great. i'm very happy for you, you must feel relieved! Congratulations

Thanks, it's definitely a relief! We didn't want to have to fly back to Australia, and I know interviews are normally waived there, but there's an age difference between us so we weren't certain.

Hi all Just received my CPR paper in the mail..but it says they will contact me prior to landing or something along those lines...however Ive planned to drive up and visit the inlaws and the hubby with my mom next week...I dont intend on landing at that point or presenting my cpr since Ill just be there for a two day visit then driving back to the states...do you think I will run into any issues? (technically I wont be able to move to Canada for another 2 months...contracted to work in DC till then)

HI Everyone!
I guess I'm kinda late joining this thread...here's my story...
I'm US, my husband is Canadian, we met online back in 2008, made our relationship offical in 2010, got married on 12-1-11 here in my home state of PA. Jan of 2012, we hired a immigration lawyer in Manitoba. April 2012 me and my son had our meds done, October of 2012 our complete paper work was submited along with our application fees. They approved my husband to sponsor me and my son. About 2 weeks ago, they requested our Right of Landing Fee and our original marriage certificate, we sent them the certified one we got after the file was recorded. I just wondered how much longer do you think I have, our laywer thinks about a month. I'm super stressed about moving everything 1500 miles! Was wondering how quickly and how many of you all made it so far. How was the landing process when you arrived. Thank you!

Hi, I had the sponsorship approval letter on 13th Dec which said our file had been transferred to London but like you, nothing has changed since then on ECAS other than decision made for sponsorship. I'm not sure what to expect though between now and COPR which we're not expecting to get for a few months yet. I'd be interested to hear what you find out.

Bit of an update from us. My husband received an email from London yesterday asking for some additional information about his personal history, so at least they are working on our application now! The email said to allow four months for them to look at the additional information but I'm hoping it will be quicker than that. A similar thing happened to my parents and it was actually pretty quick from that point.
Fingers crossed everything is complete by mid June when we plan to go to Canada!

 

[MandyRobertson]

ECAS now says that our application is in process and that our medical results have been received. Does anyone know roughly how long it normally takes from this point?

Thanks

If anyone is interested, my timeline (London VO) is:

Application received Oct 5, 2012
Sponsor approval Oct 31, 2012
Decision made April 15, 2013
COPR received April 16, 2013 (the issue date says April 12, so ECAS has a slight delay).

During the whole process, my sponsor received the AOR and sponsor approval and thats it.

Regarding being in process after submitting additional documents, it varies between cases but I wouldn't expect it to take the 4 months they mention. There's a spreadsheet you can have view if you go to the London thread in this forum (i cant post links yet as i'm under 10 posts i guess), to get a rough idea. One member here found out that their file was abandoned for months until they emailed them so get in touch with London after maybe a month just to check things are okay.

London seem to be going at a faster pace lately so hopefully it won't be too long for you!

 

[MandyRobertson]

Congratulations on receiving your COPR!

It sounds like we're probably a month or so behind you. Fingers crossed we don't have much longer to wait!

 

[Efoglady]

Thank you! It's such a relief now it's over! Hopefully you're not far behind, fingers crossed! There's already one person with sponsor approval in december who has DM so it's looking very hopeful!
