Re: APPLIED IN DECEMBER 2011, STILL WAITING

amira_mais said:
Well, forget your stupid MP, let's hope your parents' MP is good for something :) If not, you could also approach your provincial MP (MPP).

Regarding GCMS notes, I applied for them when my husband (then fiance) was denied a visit visa last year and I found it useful to see the officer's reasoning. The official refusal letter wasn't specific but the GCMS notes showed more of the rationale.

The notes for the PR application could be a bit harder to interpret as it contains some codes, but the summary will be understandable. It will look something like this:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/17KrJmBgFUS4UakcSu8ecSQnZn0z9UGmxc9oJ7WOP4LM/edit?pli=1

ashu did a great job of explaining how to apply for the notes and how to fill out the forms, so I'm giving myself permission to copy his excellent work :D

Step by step:

Print off IMM 5563 (05-2012) E - Access to Information and Personal Information Request:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

Section A:
1. Access to Information Act
2. English/French (your choice)
3. Email (fastest way)
4. No (because the applicant does not live in Canada you cannot request on your own, your spouse will have to officially request for you)

Section B:
This section is for the applicant to fill out.
Family Name (Last Name)
Given Name(s) (First Name/Middle Name)
DOB
Electronic Files - Status of an Applicaation - File Number (you would get this from the AOR or sponsor approval, ours started with an 'F') -
Location (in your case its New Delhi, India)
DO NOT fill out the Immigration File in Canada section or the next section down that says Physical File unless you really want those docs as well. If you do, the file will be pulled and could delay your processing until it's returned.

Section C:
This section your spouse that lives in Canada will fill out:
Tick the box "this request is submitted by a Canadian Citizian or PR"
Mr. Mrs. Ms
Family Name (Last Name)
Given Name(s) (First Name/Middle Name)
Full Address
Phone Number
Email
Requester's Signature: your spouse to sign and date

NOW:

Print off IMM 5475(12-2004) E - Authority to Release Personal Information To A Designated Individual: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf

Choose One:
Tick off the first box "i authorize"
Questions 1-4 are for you, the principal applicant to fill out
1. Family Name and Given Name
2. DOB
3. Name of Office: Canadian High Commission -- Location of Office: New Delhi, India
4. File Number and Client ID (UCI)

Questions 5-6 are for your spouse, the Canadian citizian or PR to fill out
5. Family Name and Given Name
6. Address, Phone and Email (make sure to use the same email that you provided when you first submitted the application)

7. Principal Applicant to sign and date/Sponsor to sign and date

I filled the forms out and then scanned them to my husband to sign, then scanned them again and emailed them, the email address is at the bottom of form IMM-5563

Lastly, pay the $5 online http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp. Print the receipt and fill it out with your sponsors information, and email all 4 pages to ATIP-AIPRP @ cic.gc.ca.
Alternatively write a $5 personal cheque to the Receiver General of Canada and mail the pages to Access to Information and Privacy Division, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1
This is amazing and great help!! Thanks a lot to you and Ashu lol! Well I called my MPs office back this time to be more stern instead of nice cz my niceness didnt help prevoiusly. I told the assistant even if you think the MP's office can't take care of this matter, I still want to speak with him. She said ok scheduling assistant will contact you. So let's hope I hear from her soon and get to meet him in person! But yes Provincial MP would be the second option.

Everyone's case is so different! some receive the PPR before the "in process" status ..and some people receive it after. I submitted my application in December 2011, Approved as a sponsorer in February, received a PPR after two weeks.. and till today my status says "application received". Now what do you make of that? It's been 4 months.. still waiting for it to change to "In Process". Phew!

Does your ecas says 'In Process?' I was approved as a sponsor on April 5 (Applied Jan 19), and we haven't gotten a PPR yet, but our application shows started processing on May 5th.

Is your mailing address in India? If not, they wait a while before asking for PP.
Weird, isnt it? I submitted my application in December 2011, Approved as a sponsorer in February, received a PPR after two weeks.. and till today my status says "application received". Now what do you make of that? It's been 4 months.. still waiting for it to change to "In Process". And urs is the other way round, it's "in process" without a PPR! Wow! ???

Hi,

Has anyone been in a situation where they have been asked to submit the PCC although they have submitted it already?

My spouse received a letter to submit the PCC but we have already submitted it. It would take a minimum of 5 weeks for her to get PCC from the foreign country again.

Could this be a mistake on the part of New Delhi ? Can we call someone regarding this?

Thanks.

exactly how much travel history did you have? how long were you in canada on student visa and did you travel to any other country for 6 months or more? it is important because i need to know how long they take for background checks. my husband has travel history of 1.5 years in UK on student visa.

thanks and good luck! :)
