My lawyer said that now just wait for removal officer to reply because he has to do administrative referral but at first it was very hard me to understand all this. I hope everything goes well do u think it’s a good idea to go MP and call cic ?
No use right now. You have a lawyer.

But, that's in the instructions. Literally it's on the checklist too. What happened???

I dunno, we sent everything in the package we mailed to CIC last year and I mean everything, Documents, emails, pictures, taxes, employment letters, my army discharge ,, everything on the list and most likely more than on the list we sent it all together ... .. I can understand them wanting a New Employment letter, seeing how Sears went down under.. and her 2016 taxes ,, what I don't get why they are Just now doing her Spousal Sponsorship application...





Aww thx bruh. Yeah we're doing ok. Starting to burn out. Glad to hear that we're in mid November now! Whooo hooo! Hope you guys are doing ok -- I know the patience required is rough. But don't fret -- it's almost over!

All this gets done and over with, id love for us all, you your wife my wife to meet up for a drink lol ILL BUY lol





It's weird that they wanted that. Remember, that you can always send them things, unsolicited, via web form. I did that all along to make sure they had up to date info. We didn't get a document request at all. But don't worry, it's only a minor delay. The fact that they asked, means they were looking at SA.
I really don't have anything to send to them,, they have all our up to date info... We are now past the new 1 year time line,, so much for it taking a year to do this.... Sometimes I just want to call our MP and say hey help us out,, but then I think that could piss off CIC so I just don't do any thing lol

But them asking for an employment letter etc shouldn't matter. Spousal Sponsorships are not considered against low income cut-off. Annnyway, not a big deal. They are real fast if they have all the docs ready to review.

Finally official received the PR status.

Interview went through really fast. Just few simple questions. Where we met, did I go to jail before, and did I ever refuse entry to Canada.

Now I just need to wait the PR card.. and apply for Nexus for next step...

Anyone know nexus 3years residency requirement count the time holding permit(s)?

Also does anyone know when apply for citizenship, the income tax filing, three years also count the time holding permit(s) as well?

I want to thank you everyone in the post and especially Profiler helped a lot answering everyone questions. Good luck to everyone who still waiting, everything will be okay. Just a game which need a lot of patient.

Here’s my timeline:

Applied: Oct 16 2016
AOR: Nov 17 2016
OWP: Feb 04 2017
Medical approved: Jan 07 2017
AIP: Never
DM: Mar 5 2018
Landing Interview: Mar 13 2018

Congrats!!!!

What is the procedure to apply for a NEXUS card? Is it the same as an enhanced driver's license?

Citizenship requirements are 3 out of 5 years from the date you apply (1095 days). Anytime you were in Canada within the 5 years before you got your PR, CIC will count 1/2 day for everyday, up to a max of 365 days.

Congrats. Glad you made it. As for Nexus -- not sure -- I don't need one ;)

Time holding permits counts as half days upto 1 year of time (so upto 365 days). Theory is, you could be eligible for citizenship after 2 years.

If you have a COPR you should be ok. If not, how will you re-enter Canada (do you require a visa?)? By land, a COPR is enough. If you don't have a COPR yet, then it's hit or miss WRT what the border guard feels at the time. If you have an OWP, bring that -- it can help your case.

I have the COPR!! I Landed on FEB 12/2018!! I am wondering because it says "NOT A TRAVEL DOCUMENT" on the COPR! I live 10 min away from the airport, if i go there, any CBSA agent would be able to confirm 100%? Thanks again

It's not a travel document. BUT -- there is one exception -- you can use it to cross the CAN-USA border. It's proof to CBSA that you belong here (and therefore have entry rights).

You cannot use to to board an airplane. You need an eTA/Visa/PR Card/Canadian Passport for that.
