Congratulations Def_Col_male.....very happy for you both!

Frustrating as the wait is for all of us, at least we have the world news and events to remind us of the appropriate perspective of our modest plight!

We sent our application January 22. Received Sponsorship Approval February 17th. Our forms were received at the London office soon after but because we had to wait for this Letter, which needed to be included in the forms to Quebec, it added another 3 months to our process. London even sent us an email asking us to send them our Quebec CSQ acceptance letter once we receive them. There should be an easier way to coordinate with Quebec.

Now that London has everything. We are hoping for a quick response. Anybody think we could have one by September 2011???

That was probably the decision made about your sponsorship, not your PR application. At least the request for further info means they're working on your application, so that's good! I would call and ask about the one from your home country.

Does anybody have an idea how much the "computer system upgrade" will delay the applications in Buffalo?

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D OMG my husband finally got his PPR!!!

I have a question tho ...My husband went to put in his File Number in ECAS and it says it should start with a B and 9 numbers to follow. His File number starts with an F and 9 numbers that follow and he cant log into ECAS with his information. Anybody else with PPR, what did your file numbers start with?

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D OMG my husband finally got his PPR!!!

I have a question tho ...My husband went to put in his File Number in ECAS and it says it should start with a B and 9 numbers to follow. His File number starts with an F and 9 numbers that follow and he cant log into ECAS with his information. Anybody else with PPR, what did your file numbers start with?
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is fantastic news. Gosh London is taking an age!

My email request for proof my sponsor is moving to Canada had an "F" file number which will not allow me to access ecas either - I can still only
go in to ecas (why I bother I do not know?!!! lol) on the original fee receipt number.

So pleased for you both Shykitten - when is landing planned for?
