September 2014 OUTLAND Applications

[MantisToboggan]

Our additional documents were received in Ottawa on 4/20/15 according to FedEx, so we're hoping for positive news soon!

We've already got a room full of packed boxes for the move. Less than 90 days until moving day now.

Gsizzle is an Ottawa applicant who applied in September and has already landed ;D

You and Maria are so right! My brain was caught up looking for yellow "DM" lines on the spreadsheet, that I totally missed Gsizzle.

Am I our 2nd person from Ottawa? I don't have DM yet. I was just excited because it seems like I should at any time now, since Mandy's app was received the same day as mine.

I don't know if its because I sent in my honorable discharge and some other things they requested but I am happy I feel confident May is our month and everyone will be getting answers soon.

I want to put this out there: I did not include a lot of stuff showing our relationship or marriage. I placed a packet of pictures and the app I only put one sentence or two describing our meeting and relationship. I felt that if they really wanted to dig and call me in to interview then so be it. I hope to get COPR soon, but will have to start working on my export car import process. Also my b4 b4A forms.

Cant wait for everyone to get news! I will let you know when COPR comes in

I was actually going to ask you that Mandy!.. I probably sent way too much! lol.. sigh over 600 pages.... I was nervous and thought It would take longer if I didn't include enough.... Here I am still waiting.. Joke is on me HAHAHA!...

My husband is swearing ours will come in next week. I keep telling him that that is probably a bit optimistic, but I don't really want to proof him wrong either.

I was afraid to send to much info due to us meeting on military circumstances. Its to sensitive and I just figured if asked that we can easily say why we were so broad with info. I know CIC is private but it still was scary.

Totally understand. Mandy I wanted to ask you, you said you sent your application to CIC back in July, but that they didn't receive it until 09/26. Your application was lost in the mail for 2 months? OR was 09/26 when you received an AOR from them?

Yes I sent it off in July, but dummie me I didn't have our official marriage cert from Thunder Bay yet, or my FBI background check, so in Aug when I sent it off they finally put my ecas that received application in Sept. It was delayed to my fault for incompletion. So I guess I never got an AOR except for status change in ecas. I didn't want to mail them off separate until I had an actual file number, also it went from Mississauga to Ottawa and didn't want it lost there. Im just glad it all worked out.

Hello Good People,

Happy Monday to you all.

So we went to the Rainbow bridge on the weekend to get my wife's COPR signed by a Canadian Immigration officer at the border. Everything went smoothly. (There is going to be 2-3 hours of wait if you go on the weekend, should be better off going on weekday instead.)

Just a heads up for those who will get their COPR soon, it will take 2-3 weeks for you to get an appointment by your nearest CIC office. Best solution would be to take a trip down to the border closest to you.

Good luck everyone!

Hi guys, can I ask what rainbow bridge is please? We are in England and our processing office is Ottawa so if we are required to go to the office, it is a bit of a trek!!

Can I also ask if they ask for additional Informtion, what is it they normally request?

Rainbow bridge is probably their land border crossing. If you are in England you will fly into Canada and land at the airport.
